No, I haven’t lost my mind.

Meet my adopted sisters. Coco and Maggie.

My parents, recently retired and cognisant of Wienerdog Bliss, wished to partake of the Bliss themselves. Plus Mom wanted someone to keep her company whilst Dad occupied himself in the blacksmith shop. So they went to the self-same breeder where we adopted Rosie, and purchased themselves a pair of wienerdogs, half-sisters to Rosie and sharing many of her characteristics. Such as wanky ears.

They are personable little dogs. Coco is adventurous and cocky, taking on all comers and fearing no one. She resembles my Lacy very much, personality -wise. Maggie is more cautious, approaching life, strange dogs and unfamilar toys with equal parts curiosity and trepidation. She also has this gawdawful high pitched helium filled bark that makes me want to run to the nearest muzzle and sew it tightly around her snout.

They are, essentially, sweet natured dogs, affectionate like dachshunds should be. Our dogs get along with them pretty well, once the butt sniffing is finished and they’ve learned which toys they can play with. My parents are planning a 2 week trip to Scotland this summer, and are Allowing us to babysit Coco and Maggie for the duration. can you imagine 6 screaming wienerdogs in one household?? Good thing it’s Summer and I’ll have household help. I suppose it will be a chance to find out if we really have reached our threshold with 4, or if we should seek out some more.

I was going to do a cute and witty little post about weinerdog noses, how they are prehensile, and how they have their own little brains that lead the bigger, more intelligent rest of the weinerdog down the road to perdition. I was going to include photographs of said noses. I tried, truly I did, but…well. everytime I put the camera down low to get a good look-see, the nose would immediately apply itself to the lens, rendering the photograph an uninterpretable blur with maybe an occasionable eyeball for reference. they just move to much and they think the camera is a great flashing slab of beef jerky that must be licked. Any other time they would sit, looking picturesque and ladylike. oh well. maybe later
