No, you’re not seeing things…
…there really are two of them.
One is Tessa (of course). The other is Tessa’s cousin, Max.
You see, Michael’s sister has a dachshund, too. In fact, they got Max way before we got Tessa–Max is 7 years old, while Tessa is 4 years old. We spent so much time with Max and grew to love him so much that we knew when the time came to get a dog, we wanted a dachshund as well.
Tessa and Max have only ever “met” one time before, and it was a few years back, when Melissa was pregnant with Brendan. The meeting didn’t go so well–Tessa was bossy and they kept getting into little brawls. However, we knew we wanted to try again some day; we’ve just never actually done it… until now.
Last weekend, Tessa made the trip with us to Melissa’s. The weather was really nice, and we figured that worst case scenario, we could keep one inside and one outside if they weren’t getting along. But you see… they got along swimmingly.
In fact, they were so damn cute together that we can’t wait to do it again.
When we first got there, there was a lot of sniffing involved. And then there were games of chase. There were a few (teeny tiny) brawls–which, I think, is to be expected as they establish who is dominant and test their boundaries with each other.
By the end… they were kissin’ cousins. *LOVE*

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
this is so cute!! we have a dachshund mix, love them!!! :)
Aw, so cute! That’s great that they got along.
I have Pit Bulls and when they don’t get along with another dog (sometimes eachother), it’s kind of scary.
So cute. I would love to get Bella a Doxie friend one day. Maybe a rescue?
Our journey has begun!… secretly though
If I’ve left you this message, you’re a follower of my original blog ~OR~ just someone I’ve happened upon while sending out these invites and that I would LOVE for to come along for the ride! Though I won’t be revealing who I am just yet – until we’re TO and THROUGH the first trimester! Just getting the word out about our new site – further explanation of all the secrecy and what we’re about on my first post. I’d love for you to stop by.
Exciting things going on around here!
