Been asked for more pics of Jack and asked whats he been up to lately.

Well he is growing like a weed but still small which is great. He is up to 6.2 lbs now, up 4lbs since we got him.

I have not taken too many more pics of him, but I will get on that soon. I still have video I need to publish when he was a lot smaller and I also need to get on that soon.

He has been a little awnry about going to potty in the house. I think it has a lot to do with the rains from Hurricane Fay that we are getting. He doesn’t like rain and wet yards so we are having a tough time with that.

I have heard that Dachshunds are notoriously hard to house break, but he is really not that bad. He just has spells and we will work through them eventually.

He is currently getting longer, and is deveolping a change in hair color. He is still brown and some black, but now with some gray sprinkles on his head and lower sides. I will get pics of that later.

This pic is of him helping me blog.
Sorry for the blurry cellphone picture.

Just some more pics of Jack at 11 weeks old.

He now sleeps with us every night.

He has also learned how to fetch really well and will pretty much come the the command COME.

We are working on the sit command but dont want to rush too many things.

He has also become about 85% housebroken too.

Ok so now Jack is 8 weeks old and here are some more pictures.

Here are some pics of Jack this week. He is now 7 weeks old here.

Well today is my 2 year wedding anniversary and I decided to surprise my wife with a miniature dachshund puppy.

She had one for many years before, her name was Ginger and lived with my wife for nine years until her untimely death. She was a victim of the highway.
That was about a year and a half ago and we still miss her.

We had toyed with the idea of getting a new pup, but we already had two others that were outside dogs and just bought a new living room suit and I just couldn’t bare the thought of chewed up coffee table corners or torn couch cushions, but the whole time I was in Vegas with my wife I was thinking about getting her this puppy. I mean I love her to death and she is worth all the torn couch cushions anyone can possibly make.

I thought about this for weeks. Then one Saturday we were all traveling to have dinner with my Aunt and we saw a sign that had miniature dachshunds for sale. I was hoping she wouldn’t see it as I knew she would say something about it and I didn’t want to just go ahead and get one that day. I already had it in my mind that I would get one for our anniversary. Continue reading →
