On Sunday afternoon, Scott brought Edie over to our apartment so she could meet Maddy. Maddy was as interested as she was concerned and kept getting chased in worried circles by Edie. Look at her eyes in this photo. Haha.
Amy with their full-size daschund, Teddy! We'd seen pictures of him for months but this was the first time we were meeting him and he was a little shy. Full-size lap-chicken!
Aw, seriously? I called Roxane (the breeder) that day and confirmed that we wanted her. (Here's a link to Roxane's Daschunds if anyone is interested! She's was great and we highly recommend her!)
As soon as I saw this photo, I was like "THAT'S OUR DOG." Meredith was excited and was like "YES!" (Later, Meredith told me that she didn't think the dog was all that cute but she trusted my judgement. Haha).
One morning in early February, I mentioned to Meredith that her birthday was coming up and asked her if there was anything in particular she wanted. She turned to me and said, "You know, I don't know how much longer I can go without owning a dog. Can we get a dog already?" We'd been talking about doing it for years and it finally seemed like the right time! After falling in love with Leigh's dog Edie, I told Meredith that I really wanted to get a dappled miniature daschund.
After looking around locally for a couple of weeks without any luck, I finally found a daschund breeder in Kentucky with a dame that birth to a litter of dappled pups! After corresponding with her for a couple days, she sent us photos on Valentine's Day. Aww.
