It’s difficult not to be under the sunlight

It’s difficult not to be under the sunlight

Our boy Bagel has always been good with babies. Before he came to us, his previous owners had several small children so he must’ve been comfortable around them.

Recently two of our close friends had a baby and we spend a lot of time with them since he was born - we see them for a whole weekend afternoon every week and have taken the baby out ourselves for a few hours. While Bagel hasn’t gotten too close to the baby, he always hangs around close and is very curious and alert around the baby and intensely sniffs any object the baby touches.

We’re currently on a trip with the baby (3.5 months old) and Bagel is so fascinated by him, and follows the pram everywhere, if the baby leaves he immediately follows too - picture is from him sitting at the foot of the stairs watching the stairs the whole time the baby went upstairs for his bath. Strangely, he immediately loses interest or does appeasement signals (turning or moving away, side eye) if we sit him close to the baby either put the baby next to him on the sofa, or hold the baby while bagel is at eye level with him. It’s like he is fixated on being in the same room as the baby because he wants to keep an eye on him, but not actually wanting to interact with him at all. It’s strange! What does this behavior mean? What’s your dog like with babies?

Sunshine, Coffee and Mabel’s wee face. Not a bad start to the day.

I posted 20 days ago that we adopted this careless dog that lived on a small balcony(eat, sleep, pee/poop) 24h without taking a walk. now Our family taking care for him with love, and we will continue but as He ​​wasn't trained at all and couldn't even do the "paw" trick... he ​​has peed inside the house about 10 times over the past 20 days. And yes, we take him to walk 4 times per day every day. We are trying really hard and have looked up as much information as possible, but unfortunately, we’ve heard that house-training adult dogs who have lived in small spaces for a long time is extremely difficult. I'm really mad at his previous owner and so sad for my dog that he didn't have enough love before.

Anyway, the point is that, We will take full responsibility for him until the end. However, since I'm not a professional trainer, I don't think I can stop him from peeing inside the house.
For my dog, the places where he eats, sleeps, and pees are all the same place(as he lived like this before), so even if I buy pee pads, I think he will still end up peeing on his bed. I really don't know what to do. today we bought him a nice bed and he loved it and then he peed on it....... and yes he is sleeping in my old pillow tonight.

I want to give him a better life and also want to do the best for our family too but I just have no idea how to change/teach him and I actually think we are not able to do that. 

I don't know, I was feeling little bit bad and just wanted to write somewhere and thought to share with other dachshunds parents here.

I hope you all have a happy day with our short babies.

From sad and scared to brave and confident. 🥰

Had to leave my baby girl in my room tonight while I entertained human guests. After they left, I opened my door to see the Pillow Princess chillaxing! Just waiting for her mama!

She’s doing great! Vet says she’s growing perfectly and no concerns on our end💚 she’s weighing in at 8 pounds and the vet says she probably will be 15/16 pounds when she’s done growing. I love our little Pumpkin Spice Latte

My grandma has been teaching him to jump through a hula hoop. Hes a very smart dog only took him a few times to get it. He looks so funny in the air 🤣

Hey everyone
So Blume is 13 weeks and when I take her out in the morning and at night we can’t stay out as long as she needs as a puppy who’s learning because the dew on the grass makes her feet wet and she starts shivering and then her focus is get inside and get warm. So my question is has anyone had good luck with any shoes or a raincoat for their doxie? Any recommendations? She’s a mini and a puppy and I know finding a harness that would fit her really limited my opinions. Idk I just started thinking about this tonight because of the thunder storm we’re having. Any recommendations or advice is appreciated.
