Oliver is a black and tan miniature dachshund born in June of 2006. He enjoys long walks in the city, visiting the Three Dog Bakery (something fresh from the bakery case, please), playing tug, and sleeping with an electric blanket. He has lived in Indianapolis and Chicago, and currently resides in Austin.

Oliver came from humble beginnings; all two pounds of him being carried from the breeder’s house in a shopping bag and having fleas and worms.

He acquired his own website after my sister moved out of state and threatened to take him with her. Regular website updates on Oliver’s life was the compromise.

You can also find me (and sometimes Oliver) at Oh Hey, Broke as a Spoke, Inexpensively, Blissfully Domestic, and Buy-Her.
