So there are many days that I think life is crazy, but can it ever really be crazy enough. I have always had two dogs, and think that it is more fun when a dog has a playmate. I had been looking a long time at getting a dachshaund, and one day on my way home I stopped at a puppy store. There I saw this little guy and his adorable floppy ears and beautiful markings. I was in love immediately! Over course I had to take the night to convince Gary, which was a little bit more difficult. However, the next day he gave me the go ahead and Zach, Brienna, and I went to the store to pick him up.
He has been with us now for almost 2 weeks. He is my little baby for sure! He loves to be held, and will only sleep at night balled up next to my head. Since he is only 5 lbs he doesn't take up too much room in the bed. That is better in the alternative of the crate which we tried for the first couple days and he literally cried and howled all night long with NO breaks! Mia has taken to him immediately, and the two of them are best of buddies.
The potty training is going okay...I did find out that dachshaunds are not great potty trainers but he is doing good with the puppy pads. As much as I love puppies, I am really looking forward to him being a year old. He is already such a smart dog, that I think he will be absolutely perfect once the puppy in him is all gone!!
