Mollie

Several months ago, one of my pool friends, Maryanne, mentioned, that her granddaughter Sara is going to college in Wisconsin and she has to find a home for her little dachsie.
Me me me ! We can take care for a dachsie , we know how they operate and we would have a very good home for dachsies.
Plans changed, the dog will go with Sara and they will live in an apartment.

This got the whole ball rolling.
Crissy checked with the Humane Society on line for a dachshund and how awful to say, we rejected Lucy Lu because of her known tendencies to be aggressive.

Beginning of April we adopted Schatzi so we were not doggieless anymore.
Just 3 days ago, Maryanne told me, that the apartment in Wisconsin is out, and Sara has to live in a dorm. The tiny dachsie now needs a home urgently, because moving day is in about 5 weeks.
Here walks Mollie into the house.
Confident, a small very long mini dachshund, black with a pink harness and curly long hair. Experienced in house matters, aha, the living room, check, the kitchen, the doggie water and kibble and oh boy , the door to the backyard ! Down the ramp, cruising through Schatzi's known universe and peeing.
All this had to be conquered slowly over several weeks , and Mollie acts nonchalant like there is nothing to it.
Dad carried Schatzi outside, the girls made the obligatory butt sniffing meeting , the tails were wagging and things looked good.
A potential sister . It would be good for Schatzi to learn from a well behaved dog how to be a dog, learn not to be afraid of the slightest noise and feel confident in all phases of doggiedom.
I suggested, Sara should come several times to just play and have them get used to each other .
12 days later:
Not a word from Sara and Mollie.
Andy thinks, she will not give up her little dachsie and who am I to blame her. There is no way I could give up a dog.

Email from Clar :

Wow … what exciting news … so I guess the new dog is named Mollie since that is the subject of your email. Sounds like Schatzi is going to accept her … it might be just the thing that she would really love to have … a sister!
