Easter With Those Handsome Sheridan Avenue Boys

Happy Easter from The Sheridan Avenue Boys and some Scary Chicks!

Your 'Long and Short of it All' hostess 'Maggie' says "Oh, Jack, Jetson, Jordan, Lincoln, and Lego, you simply set my heart aflutter."  Keep up with these handsome guys on their official blog.

A Note From Joey and Maggie: Easter Sunday With Our Pals

Cell Phone Photo:  Joey, Maggie, Gina Marie, Tommy Lee, and Sampson

"Everyone Sit.  Now, stay......."  No....stay....."  Hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday!  We had a fun time visiting our good friends.  It was Joey's DOCP shot day (OUCH!) that he gets every 28 days, and our friends' Mom thankfully sees that it gets executed properly.  Joey and Maggie wore their Easter best - Joey in a bright red bow tie, and Maggie in her pearl necklace - yep, they're real.  All three of our friends are agility dogs, so it's fun to go to their house - they get treats for every good thing they do all day long.  They live in the house of never-ending treats!    Here we are waiting for our blueberry dessert that the Easter Bunny promised us.  And we didn't even have to do anything to get it but look cute.  Joy.

Frohe Ostern! Happy Easter!

We're hoping that you have a fantastic Easter Sunday and that maybe you got a colorful little toy or treat in your Easter basket.  Our Dad says no little pieces of ham for us this year thanks to Maggie's recent bout of pancreatitis, but the Easter Bunny told us that if we're good, we were going to get some fresh blueberries for dessert!  Heaven knows we're always good.

Hoping yours is just as happy.

We're a day late and a dollar short again!  Actually 2 days late.  But how could we not share this great photo of those handsome Sheridan Avenue Boys?  Hoping everyone had a fantastic Easter!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you baskets of peace, love, and joy on this Easter Holiday.

Thanks so much to our pals 'Sampson,' 'Tommy,' and 'Gina Marie' for sending us this great Dachshund Easter Card in the mail!  The inside reads: 

Here comes WIENER Cottontail,
heading down the Bunny Trail...

Happy Easter!

Honey Bunny

Honey Bunny by Doxieone

When beautiful English Cream 'Honey' is seen in festive poses with bunnies, it can mean only one thing:  Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's on its way!   One of our favorite flickr photographers, Doxieone notes about the image:  Honestly, I do NOT make her sit up like this. I had the cheese in my hand. I wanted to take a picture of her with the rabbit statue. And, there she goes up the minute she sees I have the cheese.
Make sure to check out more photos of Honey in Doxieone's photostream at flickr.  There are some images of her in some Playboy Bunny outfits which are making your Long and Short of it All host 'Joey' howl!

Easter Greetings

The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase. ~Dachshund Lover E.B. White, "Hot Weather," One Man's Meat, 1944

Have a Good Friday.

Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's On Its Way

We smell rabbit.




Peter Cottontail---as sung by Gene Autry

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way.

Bringin' every girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay.
He's got jelly beans for Tommy,
Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There's an orchid for your Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too.

Oh, here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Happy Easter day.

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those choc'late bunnies
That he's hiding ev'rywhere.

Oh, here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Happy Easter day.

Happy Easter!

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness! ~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

Have a great Easter Sunday with your dachshunds.
