My New "Sister"

My mom and dad decided (after years of mourning the death of Samantha, our childhood pet) that it was time to get a new puppy. And of course they decided on a dachshund because my mom grew up with dachshunds. My aunt & sister each have a dachshund as well and Spencer made it very clear to me (a long time ago) that we will never own a dachshund!

My mom and dad decided to call her Tess (although her birth record will have a super long name). Tess was born in March and she is a miniature dachshund; she should not exceed 10-11 pounds. She is such a cutie! She has the most precious bark and whine and she loves to sleep in your lap. She's a licker and can run pretty fast to have such short legs! She can be a little skittish at times, but overall she is a pure joy to be around. I love my new "sister!"
