Can you believe it? The puppies are 18 weeks old! They’ve grown so much and are becoming proper doggies.
Anneliese is 10 1/2 pounds now and she is 95% house trained. I refuse to say she is 100% house trained because that would simply jinx the entire production! Anneliese is a cuddler. She will climb on top of whomever is my lap, and settle in. She took her first nap with me today and I found out that she was a fantastic little sleeper.

Arnie is 13 1/2 pounds and he is probably 65% house trained. I can’t even tell you how much better he is doing (I have stopped calling him a dumb bunny!) but there are times he runs in and uses the news paper in the puppy room before I can scoot him outside. He is gentle and sweet and loves to be cuddled right up next to me in the chair. Each and every day I am thankful that Arnie ended up staying with us.

It has gone so quickly and I can’t believe how very much “in love” I am with these two, nor can I believe how different they are in personality.
Today we also had our first family nap. I have a touch of the stomach flu and have not been feeling too well. I lay down on the sofa and one by one I was joined by the dachshund group.
I found that the sofa is a little small for all these bodies, perhaps it’s time to buy a sectional sofa or perhaps one of those extra wide chaise lounges! I have a feeling that this was the first of many naps that we all will enjoy together.
I love the picture of the family nap- that is just too cute!
Yes the family nap picture is wonderful. I agree you need to get a bigger couch!!
Daisy sleeps with me on the lazy boy between my feet. That is her spot to snuggle and curl up in. Ferg jumps up beside me because it’s a double love seat lazyboy so he’s taken over hubby’s side!
Thanks so much for your birthday wishes to Fergus. He was tickled~! And such a good birthday boy, going over to Granddad’s and being so well behaved in the apartment with no barking and eating birthday cheese cake too!!
That nap looks heavenly!
