Mr Smokes the dachshund eyes glory at Westminster
Deaf dog learns sign language
 So on Thursday Mom decided I needed to get a bath and get my nails trimmed.  So she took me to the groomer place and guess what - she left me there almost all day!  Do you know how hard it is to be around all those yapping four-leggers all day.  Big ones, little ones, loud ones, quiet ones and I think I even spotted a cat or two, yucch!!  I would much rather have just stayed home and curled up on Mom and Dad's bed.  At least that way I wouldn't have had to wear this Christmas ribbon around my neck the rest of the day.  By the way, Christmas was my birthday, I am nine years old.  Dad says that in human years I am almost as old as he is!  Wow, that's old.  Is that why I am getting all this white on my face and legs.
