The New Man at My Parents’ Home!
Back on the first of October when we met my parents for dinner, Mom and Dad confided in us about a “little secret” that we weren’t to share with my brother, Randy.
In February of 2004, they had to put their dear little Dachshund, Brandy, to sleep. He had been with them for 17 years, and this was just so heartbreaking. When he was gone, they said no more dogs. Earlier in the winter, my father fell out back while taking Brandy outside and actually fractured his skull!
As is so common to those who love the companionship of a dog, Mom and Randy both started talking about how they would love to get another little Dachshund. They talked about it so many times, but the timing just wasn’t right.
On 12 October, Randy came home from work, and there to meet him was a tiny little bundle of fur in the form of a long-haired black and tan miniature Dachshund!
I cannot WAIT to get my hands on this little fellow! He is so cute! I can’t wait to meet him and take lots of pictures, too! These photos are some my mother took.

The little fellow hasn’t a name as yet, although I love the name Fritz and Mark and I are voting for that! Any other ideas? German (names) would be good!

At camp Mikey had a friend who had a long hair Dachshund who’s name was “Hey You”… no lie. They tried over and over to give the pour thing a name, but it only responded to “Hey You”. Mikey is taking German and I asked him for a name and he said Axel. That’s his name in German LOL
What a cutie!!!! I can’t wait to go see him. The kids are pretty anxious to go as well. Perhaps the end of this week. Poor Joe will be so jealous that he can’t go….maybe next time.
