My mom knows how much I would love a brother or sister to play with. But she says it is not the right time yet. Check out these cute little puppies that need rescuing. Mom went to check them out. Aunt Dawn was so close to adopting them but ultimately decided as cute as they are, it is not the best time for her with her current travel schedule.
They are both short haired and siblings. The male is the light red. The female is black and tan dapple.
I hope someone I know adopts them so I can play with them! For info on how to adopt them, go to http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=9233926
I finally met Klaus, a short haired chocolate mini dachshund who lives in Lansing. His mom got him after she saw how cute I was as a pup! Like always, I just wanted to play. I think I was a little too much for Klaus who hasn't really been around many dogs yet. I'm sure he'll grow to like me. Maybe he'll play with me next time!
I was pretty excited that mom put my pool out again this weekend. Max didn't seem to like it but I think Chelsea enjoyed cooling off in it for a bit. Mom says it's a pool but really it is just like a giant drinking bowl to me. I can't figure it out. Watch this video of me trying to bite the water!
I have a new cousin! Her name is Chelsea. Aunt Joni just rescued her last week. All I want to do is play with her but she is a little timid. I bet she thinks I'm crazy. She is 3 1/2 but she is way smaller than me. She is about 6 lbs and makes me look like I have long legs! Chelsea and Max are staying with me for the weekend. I couldn't be more excited!
My name is Cooper. I am a chocolate long haired miniature dachshund.
Thank you for visiting!
Hi and welcome to my blog! My name is Cooper. I am a purebread chocolate long haired miniature dachshund. Be sure to check back often to see what I've been up to....or into!
I was born on May 18, 2006 on Oakley Farm in King and Queen, Virginia. My breeder thought I would be a micro mini but, although I am quite trim, I turned out to be a mini. I'm about 10 lbs.
....for one, she litter trained me. That's right, I have a dog litter box, not to be mistaken for a cat litter box - but I do have kitty litter. While I still enjoy the occasional "watering of the grass" outside, having that box saves me from having to cross my legs waiting for my mom to get home when she has a busy day and from standing out in the blistering cold MI winters!
My Life
I hit the parent jackpot. It all started when my mom met my breeder in a taxi in front of our nation's Capitol to adopt me. I was 10 weeks old and only 2.5 lbs. We took the cab to the airport where we flew to Detroit. Most people love me and I love them. I am very affectionate. Although, I am also very protective - especially of my mom. Some people call me "mama's boy" but I'm not sure what that means. I don't think I'd ever bite but I sure like to bark if I think, whether it's warranted or not, someone might harm the people I love.
My Likes
I LOVE sleeping! I usually don't get up until my mom gets out of bed and makes me. Even then, I just go find another place to sleep. I sleep most of the day. I'm really only awake about 6 hours on weekdays! When I'm not sleeping, my favorite things to do are: play with my toys - especially the ones that make noise, go for walks with my mom, and chase birds and squirrels. But, probably my favorite thing to do is shred paper. Any kind, I'm not picky: toilet, tissue, wrapping, news, copy, etc.!
