*Frank and Frieda Spend Thanksgiving at Siesta Key, Florida*

Frieda and Frank are two very lucky little dachshunds, spending their Thanksgiving day with Dog/Daddy Steve in Siesta Key, Florida!

Dog/Daddy Steve decided to trek south for a long overdue vacation prior to starting a new job the beginning of December. Then it will be back to Atlanta for more Bulldog Security Patrol for these two lucky little dogs. They have earned a week in the sun due to their vigilant duty on Fulton Lane.............

*Oh No, A Water Monster On Fulton Lane*

Frank and Frieda are beside themselves regarding the new threat to their surveillance! It seems that Dog/Daddy Steve has a new toy! He decided to purchase a water power pressure machine to thoroughly clean the outside of his house. They have encountered geraniums, turtles, baby racoons, and handled them appropriately. But this new threat is going to require an entirely different strategy. This water monster is an entirely new threat to the security of their patrol area and quite an adversary. How do two highly trained Killer Dachshunds deal with this creature?

*Frank's Vigil: Bulldog Security Team Passes Test*

Sometimes Frank does not feel that his talents on the Bulldog Security Team are appreciated.

One recent evening on Fulton Lane, while Dog/Daddy Steve was attempting a quiet night at home, sipping a cold one and reading and listening to television Frank created an uproar in the back of the yard.

Dog/Daddy Steve went out to the patio and could not determine why Frank was on full alert and would not stop barking and barking. He also would not come on command, just bark, bark. bark. We all know that dachshunds love to bark, but this time it was different.

After a noisy several hours Dog/Daddy Steve just had to take the flashlight and find out what the problem was. Back in the corner of his yard Frank had cornered a baby racoon and would not allow the baby to leave the yard. Yikes, it was his first trapped prisoner and he was taking full advantage of it. The little racoon was trembling, with fear in it's eyes, and could not figure a way out of this dire situation.

Dog/Daddy Steve eventually had to intervene and pick up Frank so that the baby racoon could make it's hasty exit from the yard. Frank felt so defeated; he was finally proving his worth as an attack dog and now his capture was released. What's a dog to do??

Frank had a fitful night back in the house, worrying about his lost prey. Frieda teasingly snickered under her breath at his wasted vigil.

The next morning, Frank was up and ready, running out the door as fast as he could back to the corner of the yard..............but alas, his prey was long gone.

Frank, you will have many more hunting nights while you guard your backyard. Your Dog/Grandmother Charlotte is very proud of you!!

*Frieda, The Diva Princess of Posh Pillows*

Frieda was born to royalty, or divadom if you will, and she always demands royal treatment wherever she goes!

This photo taken on her recent road trip only illustrates the fact that she, as a puppy, knows that not only 800 thread count sheets are a must, but also the plumpest of posh pillows!

*Frieda and Frank..On The Road Again*

Frieda and Frank are now seasoned travelers! They spent the first night of their return to Atlanta in Lexington, Kentucky. Here they are enjoying the comforts of a nice motel. Of course, they dined in ordering room service.

Accompanying them was both their Dog/Daddy Steve and their Dog/Grandmama, the lovely and well-traveled Charlotte. She was anxious to see Atlanta again and to ride with the pups in the Jeep!

*Frank and Frieda Visit Baxter The Shelty*

Frank and his lovely wife Frieda finally got to meet Baxter, the most vicious Shelty in Armada. At first, there was the usual sniffing and barking, but then Baxter, being the sweet Dog/Cousin that he is greeted the two and invited them to have a run at the huge area he has to patrol.

The huge acreage that Baxter patrols is over 3 acres and he does it alone. After thoroughly investigating every aspect of this, the Dachshunds were impressed! They then stayed with their lovely Dog/Aunt Holly and Dog/Uncle Dwayne for several days in the Tundra. Baxter even shared his favorite dog toy, the Squeaky Ball!

*Finally The Field Trip..Following The Monsoon On Fulton Lane*

The weather has been horrible in Georgia, creating monsoon effects to the backyard of Dog/Daddy Steve's home. It would be impossible for the Bulldog Security Duo to safely patrol the backyard, they would have to swim. This would be especially difficult for Frieda with her petite size. They also would be unable to pick up the necessary sniffs and smells of possible intruders.

So off they go on a road trip to the Tundra to visit Dog/Daddy's family and their animal relatives.

They will travel half way tonight, stopping in Kentucky and will begin again in the morning. Dog/Daddy Steve has purchased a special cage for their travels. We will keep you updated on their travels and their road trip.

Priscilla Galore, the resident Cat/Dominatrix could not be happier! She now has the house all to herself and can do as she pleases without the constant interruptions of the Dachshunds. She likes to remind Dog/Daddy Steve that 'many years ago, cats were worshipped as Gods, and that Priscilla Galore has never forgotten than!
