Our New Puppy

Introducing our new Dachshund puppy Molly. She was born the first week of December 2008 and came to live with us the middle part of January 2009. I felt that she was awfully young to be away from her Mom and siblings, but the former owner was giving the pups away due to Mom not nursing them anymore, plus the pups were eating puppy food.

The first week was hard on her, she whimpered a lot, and wanted to be held often, so now she is very spoiled! She has us wrapped around her little paw for sure! Maybe we need the "Dog Whisper." LOL. She is a little sweetie, but she does chew on her humans, due to teething. How do you get a puppy to stop chewing on my husband and I? Anyone have any ideas? She's sooo tiny, it's hard to be upset with her, but I really do need my earlobes and fingers.

Lately I have been updating and redoing my Etsy shop. Now shipping is free for everything! Most of my items are light weight so I think it is fair for me to ship for free. All I know is if I go to an Etsy shop and I see shipping is free, it delights me and I'm more prone to buy there. Many may not agree, but that's how I feel.

Do you Twitter? I have been, and I actually enjoy it. I have only been on Twitter for a short time and have 69 followers already! I haven't made any sales due to Twitter, but I'm glad I joined, because there are some really nice people on Twitter. It's a great social networking site. Check it out sometime. You may like it too!

What a sweetie. She'd have me wrapped around her little paw too, with those big sad eyes.

Get her some chew toys. A greeny maybe. Also tap her nose and tell her no. You will have to be consistant. She is way adorable!! I have 6 dogs.

She is a real charmer for sure. My son has a Doxie, and I fell in love with him, when they came to stay with us until they bought their house. So I knew my next dog would be a Doxie. Thanks for the nice compliments.
