Opie "Optimus Prime"

Miss Opie

Her little self!

She is adorable isn't she? This little dog stole my heart the first time I saw her.. Andrew really loves Dachshunds and I really like long haired dogs. Well this little one was the best of both worlds! I was sold because of her ears. I really love those things. The first time I held her she licked my chin and put her head down on my shoulder..again I was sold! She really has been the best dog ever. She loves to cuddle on both of us. Last night while watching a movie she would not settle down until some part of her was touching both of us.. very odd.. but at least she doesn't have a favorite! Today I have seen the scared side of her. The house next door is getting re-shingled and the noise scares her, along with the bunch of men out there working. At 7 I took her out and she immediately ran back to the door. I had to physically stand between her and the guys before she would do her business. The other times I took her out today she ran to the furthest part of the lawn, paws on the edge, and went again. Its been really funny to see her freak out like this, other than the fact that she wont eat while all this is going on. Because of this little dog I have been outside more than not this spring. And to be honest, I'm loving it. Andrew and I used to go on walks, at least around the lake, at least once a day, and now days I don't see much of Andrew due to the end of school coming so quickly. (of which we are all very excited for!) If you have not met Opie yet we would love to see you, so get on over here.
