Greetings guys & gals.
I have a 9 months old Miniature short hair Dachshund male, named Stogie.
(what else do you name a Cigar shaped dog?)
He has trained us quite well in his 9 or so months in our house
We adopted him September 3 2005, he was about 6-8 weeks old at that time... Tiny!!! I didn't even want a dog, but saw him, picked him up and never put him back down... he came home with my wife and I immediately.
How could I resist that face?
Immediately after getting him, we went to somewhere to buy supplies, this is him in the shopping cart on a pillow
As he got older, we took him with us everywhere, while he was still small enough to fit in the travel purse. Now at 8.5 pounds and barking like there's no tomorrow- he stays home alot!
I wanted a place to talk about our experiences with him, maybe get some help with him and trouble area's, etc....
honestly, he is part of our family now.. We have 3 kids (4 counting Stogie) - and we all absolutely adore him - except when he's bad, then only mom and dad love him and the other children get upset with him, like when he eats my 18 year old sons cd's.... chews on my 11 year old daughters clothes and personals, or growls at my 13 year old son because he plays rough with him (growls in a friendly rough-house kinda way)
Well.. thats about all I can say on our introduction.... oh and that we live in North Texas.... Arlington to be specific.
