I’m starting to believe that I simply cannot keep up with the incredible wee-ing pups! It seems that no sooner do I change the little plastic whelping box than the pups wee on the pads. This is sort of a transitional time. They are still too small to be running around the box and selecting a dry spot, and yet their little bladders have matured enough that they now go without the help of their Mommy.
They roll around, they crawl quite well and they growl. Yes, if you try to move them away from their Mommy for any reason, they make the cutest growling noise.
After my sister and Mom left, I started in with the usual puppy laundry as well as the additional stuff one does after guests have been with you. However. I admit to being a little tired and so I also lay down on the sofa with Arnie to watch my Soap Opera (All My Children) and just lay low for a while.
Arnie is doing great. He is all recovered now from his bad tummy and is his usual happy go lucky self. He adores Anneliese’s puppies and they love him. They will see him enter the room and actually crawl over to the edge of the box to see him.
The puppies and Arnie.
I can see that Arnie will be their playmate when they are a little older.
The great thing is that Anneliese loves having Arnie in there with her. Perhaps it is because they were litter mates and they have always loved each other. Even as babies they would curl up and sleep together.
Arnie and Anneliese as babies.
At night when we are without puppies, they still do sleep together in our bed. I have to say. I don’t have a lot of room when all the dackels take up my space! Just look what they do when I nap on the sofa!
So the day went on. Leftovers for dinner, and a DVD for entertainment tonight. The puppies are asleep, the dogs are fed and the day is done!
How precious the brother and sister team are!
It is so lovely that Arnie is an accepted part of the gang. He can be a substitute Daddy since the puppies Daddy is in Germany. They need a male role model you know tee hee hee!
Missing you and the pups! Kisses for all! Love YOU, Mel
Those puppy pictures make my day start with a smile!

The picture of you napping with your dachshunds is precious. My Lilli always snuggles up close to me when I sleep too. Is this a typical dachshund trait?
Okay! I learned something else NEW today! I never knew that new puppies don’t WEE without help from the mama… and I don’t really want to know what she does to help them!
I LOVE that pic of you and your babies all napping together! Adorable!
Hi Mom,
Hope you had a great visit! Hope Mel was happy with the makeover visit. I actually called over my “cube-neighbor” to say, “Wow! You’ve got to see this!” Mel, if you see this comment, what a fabulous picture of you!
Taking gram out to dinner tonight, and going to clear the remainder of random stuff from the condo as I have folks moving in this weekend! Yeah!
Have a great day!
Love you lots,
Mandy
Aww, that napping picture is ADORABLE. I love your doggies. 🙂
I also didn’t know about the help-to-wee-from-mama deal. I never really thought about how they don’t move but they must pee, I guess it would be hard to always have to change the pad.
Cute couch photo! Last night, we had one fat cat, one little cat, and one large greyhound in bed with us. Wasn’t it nice of them to let us in???
I am already getting a bag ready that’s big enough to kidnap all of them. And Arnie. Will call you tonight!
Sounds like a nice day. We’re so glad Arnie is fine again. That’s always worrying. And how wonderful that the doggies all love eachother and get along so well. (Nice couch warmers!)
See ya!
Joey
Hahaha ! I love the steps leading to you on the sofa !!
OH, that Arnie! He’s one special boy! I just can’t get over how attentive and sweet he is to the pups. Especially being a male. That photo is so cute. I’m so glad he’s feeling better now.
Love the photo of you napping with the dogs!
And OOOOH….you watch All My Children? LOL God, I didn’t think anybody watched soaps anymore! I just love that one (I’m heartbroken that Stuart is dead!) and my favorite is One Life to Live…Do you watch that one?….the only 2 I watch, but it’s my “down” time, to sit there and knit while I watch my soaps.
And besides….I’m retired now and can do anything I want….lol
Hi,
Janet sent me over to see the babies! Oh, they are so cute. You are so lucky to have the opportunity to breed such beautiful puppies.
The pic of you napping with the doggies is so cute! I can tell that they love you very much!
