Puppies Are The Best

Waffles is my new pup!

Taki, my 5-yr old pup, has been lonely since Weema died in March 2024. So I decided it was time for something lift him up.

Waffles doing what she
does best - giving kisses!

Waffles, smooth hair mini-dachshund, weighed 4.1 lbs when I brought her home. She now weighs about 12 lbs, which puts her in the "tweenie"category (miniature doxies are 11 lbs and under). She is into everything, and has discovered how to tip over the trash can and then spread all her goodies around! 

Waffles snuggled up to Taki.
She's almost as big as he is!

Waffles and Taki roll around together and have a grand time. There is a bit of arguing over chewies... Waffles always wants what Taki has.
