My parents have a Dachshund, Cami (short for "Camouflage"- she IS an Army dog, of course!) who is five years old. They actually got her in Del Rio, Texas, bought in the Wal-Mart parking lot! She is a sweet, loving little dog who NEVER (and I do mean NEVER) barks. She has known JD her whole life, and loves when he comes to visit.
JD will be 9 in October, and is seriously on the verge of a nervous breakdown since arriving in Texas this year. We have been here SO MANY times, and he has lived her for months at a time before. But this time is.....different. Not sure what is going on, but we may be in the market for some doggie Prozac soon!
In any case, these dogs have got it made! They spend most days roaming the yard while Grandpa does yard work, and the rest of their days are spent lounging on the sofa, in a chair, or in the bed of their choice- sometimes their own, sometimes the other's dog bed, and sometimes a human bed!
I was able to snap this picture the other day- this is how you can find JD and Mallory most days. Mallory watches TV from this chair (see how it is lined with a shower curtain liner and towel for potty accidents?) and JD stays close by, in hope of a stray fruit snack or goldfish cracker, which usually works out in his favor. Mallory loves both of the dogs, and they love her right back!
In fact, Mallory can't get enough of JD! See her JD stuffed animal (Thanks, Granny Peg!) She sleeps with him every night! In this picture, she is reading books to all of her "friends" and having story time on the floor of her room.
Another day.... another sweet moment!
