Last spring we purchased 2 miniature dachshunds that have turned out to be the life of the party at our home. Now Ginger is a year old and Cookie will be a year old on March 20th. They are fully housetrained and except for occasionally robbing a trash can, they don't cause much trouble. In the course of this past year we have purchased dog bedding of all sizes for them. In this first photo you will see the smallest of the dog beds that we started out with when they were little puppys. Now they still try to sleep together in this bed and as you can see, it's a very tight fit.
This next bed was a step up in size and fit them very well most of the past year and is still "do-able" if they decide to share like they usually do.
Now they have a nice big bed that they look like they're lost in, but it has become their favorite. I keep it in my office and when I'm on the computer they curl up and snooze in this bed.
As you can see they are both doing very well and growing. Ginger is almost 10 pounds and Cookie is about 8 pounds. They are both scheduled to be spayed in the next couple of months. We've decided against breeding them as we originally thought we might. They both have their own unique personallities, so different they are from each other. Ginger is the high strung hyper "guard dog" type always looking to growl at anyone that comes near me. Cookie is so laid back that I wonder sometimes if she isn't just too lazy to even eat. When I get them up in the morning, they are both in the same crate, and when I open the door Ginger runs to the back door to be let out. Cookie just rolls over on her back and wags her tail and will stay there until I pick her up and love her a bit and carry her to the back door and make her go out. I guess she's just doing her part in making sure I get at least one stretching exercise in each morning.
