Fox: My Mini Love

This is my adorable, tiny miniature dachshund, Fox. She is the sweetest little girl. 

She is a princess, no contest. She requires attention, all the time. When she does not get it, she will 'demand' it. Either by sitting up on her hind legs and 'begging' or 'gopher-ing', tapping you with her paw, or emitting piercing yelps. She is so small (very, very small for a miniature dachshund) she can't hop up on or off furniture, so she is constantly in need of assistance. Which just makes her 'princess-ness' more apparent. 

Fox does not like grass. She will run after a squirrel, all distracted; get into the middle of the yard and freeze. Then, prance to the nearest patch of dirt, sidewalk, or anything non-grass. It is a funny sight to see!

Fox has been my lil girl for seven months now. I 'rescued' her from a family in the area who could no longer care for her. She formerly lived with 5 to 6 other dachshunds. She was the lead dog for a blind dachshund, who would bite her ears to be lead around. When I got her, her ears were covered in scabs, her ribs were also poking thru her sides, and she would shiver constantly. 

Now, she is treated like royalty. She claimed my faux fur blanket as hers. She loves to burrow in it. Preferably with her body all snuggled and warm, just the tip of her nose sticking out. That's my little dachshund!

I love her so much.

Do you have a pet you adore?
