Awww now ...you HAD to go and put up this adorable puppy picture!!! Now if that little thing is'nt as cute as a button I don't know what is!!!
Speaking of Dachsunds, ...hubby and I went out to a farmer's market last night just to browse ...was pretty late as it closes at 9:00, and we were there at 8:00. They have a pet shop there where they sell puppies, and everytime we go there I try my hardest to just pass by and not look in as my heart always breaks watching those little guys behind the glass. Well hubby was drawn to a teeny tiny little Dachsund.....it was a mini, and a merle color. She was just the bounciest, bubbliest little precious puppy you'd seen! This lady asked to see her just to get her out and to cuddle her and I had to go over to pet her. She was a snuggle bunny. It breaks my heart when I see pups at pet shops. I can see how sucked in someone can get tho, just passing by.
Anyway...totally off subject....your new little one is ADORABLE!!!
