Crating

Tonight could be the night where Aussie hubby and I finally get the ‘human bed’ back to being dog-free.
Whilst I don’t mind having a furry ‘hot water bottle’ (or two) with us during winter, it is a different story in summer. Living in a subtropical climate comes with hot, humid summer nights.

The solution? A soft crate off ebay that cost us around $AUD 44.
We must admit that our expectations are rather high. According to Cesar Millan, dogs are den animals by nature, and look for spaces in their home or yard that mimic a den. Dog crates make excellent dens and provide that safe, secure environment that dogs crave.

Well, so far the crate has been accepted. Now we just need to work on the sharing part!

Dachshund cakes

I’m blown away but the massive amount of talented pastry chefs that have created the amazing cakes below.
Every dachshund lover would agree that a dachshund cake is the absolute ‘icing on the cake’ (literally!).
If we hadn’t already been married, our wedding cake would definitely have dachshund cake toppers, that’s for sure…

Food envy anyone?
