OUR NEW MINIATURE DACHSHUND - FRANK!

 



Oh my! August has been a crazy month as we welcomed a new family member – a miniature dachshund puppy we’ve called Frank (Frankie)!

He’s absolutely adorable & such a friendly little fella who’s settled into our home & lives so well.

He’s friendly, feisty, fun & loveable and we all adore him – that is except for our 6 year old Cavachon Dora!!!!! 


Dora is the sweetest dog,  but she definitely took a while to get used to a new puppy in the house and wasn’t the friendliest towards him at first. Frank on the other hand just wanted desperately to be her friend & play with her!!!

However, she is warming towards him more & more each day. I wouldn’t say she loves him yet but she’s getting used to him!!

I really had forgotten just how tying a new puppy is though, I feel like I’ve got a newborn!!!!

He’s been excellent with toilet training & he sleeps right through at night which is great, but his energy levels are on another level!!!!

 

The first few weeks with a new puppy is always a whirlwind but Frankie seems to be on another level of whirlwinding!!!!! Luckily, I’m off work for a few weeks in the summer holidays so I’ve been at home constantly with him but oh my!!! I’m exhausted!

It will take a while to get to the stage where we can’t take our eyes off him for a second. One of the main concerns with Dachshunds is looking after their backs and unfortunately Frank has absolutely no fear so we’ve got to watch him like a hawk!!!!!

But we’ve completely fallen in love with him and he immediately became part of our family!

MAKE EACH DAY COUNT!

We rushed downstairs to find our next door neighbours house was on fire & there were fire engines, ambulances, police & paramedics everywhere. Very sadly our lovely neighbour didn’t make it & died from smoke inhalation which has devastated us all as he was the nicest man who would do anything for anyone. It really does put life into perspective and how we really do have to make the most of every day we are given. I turn 50 this year and, whilst many people struggle with ageing, I see it as a privilege as I know many people, including one of my best friends in the world, who died very young, would have loved to be the age I am now. I’m sorry if this is all a bit depressing but life’s tragedies always make us assess our own lives & it really made me re think about making every day...
