Eva the Miniature Dachshund

Animals

We bought a zoo: Eva the miniature dachshund joins the two cats. Training her is going to be a long process.

We bought a zoo

After much debate we upgraded our two cat arrangement to include a little sausage dog called Eva.

Training a dog (or at least attempting) has been hard work and I can see it being a long process.

The saving grace is that she is a gorgeous little creature so whilst there is a fair amount of frustration it has also been rewarding and fun.

She has grown a fair bit in the couple of months we have had her. She looks like a proper dog now – well kind of proper…

Sadly she is getting more mischievous…although this only made me laugh and run to get the camera when I walked in.
