Our New Family Addition!

Santa brought Lily to Brianna. She has been many things to Brianna and our family. She has brought us joy, stress, frustration and has brought out a new puppy in our 12 year old dog Tucker. Brianna and Bricen absolutely love her and she is growing on Brian. I love everything about her except for the small bladder for a small dog. She is a mini dachshund and will be between 8-12 pounds when full grown. She will be 1 on October 25th. I am crossing my fingers that by then she will be sleeping through the night, holding her potty and not leave any presents on my carpet or pee on anyone when they come to visit. (Pick up at your own risk!)
Brianna and I took her to a puppy obedience class where I was made aware that dogs learn in pictures and nothing is the puppy's fault. I guess our life is set up for failure for a little bladder. Lily barked almost the whole series of classes and did not like the teacher. It was suggested to me that I stop by the vet's office at least a couple times a day for a few weeks to get her used to new people and the environment there. HA HA HA who does that lady think I am??? I am sorry but she just didn't like that lady - she barks a little at other people but OMG she is a dog and that's what they do right?
Because she is a small dog, she looks very cute dressed up in sweaters, dresses and yes she has a rain coat and a coat with a fuzzy collar. Brianna took her to the school dog show and she was a big hit. Here are a few pictures of the little weasle, she is pretty cute I have to admit!


Tucker and Lily play constantly, they snuggle together too - it is so cute!
