This is Buddy. Buddy was rescued from a home that kept him in a medium sized kennel ALL the time. When Eric got him he really didn't know how to stand up straight for a few weeks. Another case of someone seeing a cute puppy but not really considering exactly how BIG he was going to get. Buds is now about 4 years old and 160lbs (about 10lbs more when he doesn't have his summer shave!) He's my big baby and I love him to death!
This is Miss Sydney, she is 2. I got her shortly after Eric and I moved in together. Talk about personality, this dog has it! I knew I wanted a small dog but not a chihuahua or yorkie. After some breed reasearch I knew a mini dachshund was the dog for me! I found a local breeder and put together a little presentation to take home to Eric. I started with "Eric I want to get a dog..." I never got the chance to go any further, he said ok and that was that. We went and picked out Syd from her litter when she was only a week old. Waiting the next 5 weeks was tough but finally bringing her home was awesome! That was 5 weeks, how am I going to handle 9 months when a real baby is in the works?!
We we're exactly sure how HUGE and LITTLE were going to get along. We both kind of figured they would just co-exist. Oh no, not the case, they LOVE each other...well I guess it's more like Sydney loves Buddy and he tolerates her. Isn't that the grossest and cutest thing you've ever seen?!

My husband and I married a little over 16 years ago and we never moved beyond being doggie-parents and we've been quite pleased with our choice. You'll know when it's right to take that step -- until then, what absolutely adorable pups you have.
