I'm having a migraine. She's burrowed under a blanket as close as she can get to me. All of my dogs are wonderful and supportive when I feel bad. It makes me happy that she is staying close to me. I have been hesitant to say what I suspect.
Gwennie loves me.
It's about time 😁

You know how sometimes you are just at the bottom. Defeated.
And then something happens and you see things differently.
Bad morning. Then my Auntie came over and Gwen was just precious. She was calm and let Auntie pet her. It was nice. I took her next door and she was lovely with the girls.
She ate dinner.
We are kicking it and SOMEHOW this happened. I was petting her and just flipped her over and started on that belly❤️ She stayed that way for at least ten minutes. I have multiple bad pics! So this morning I felt like she was making zero progress and tonight I feel all powerful 😁(actually I feel relieved and hopeful)
It's been a good day 🎉

So. I had planned to update everyone on Gwen. It was going to be glowing.
But no.
This morning the little stinker woke up with ATTITUDE.
She's not eating.
But she's not sick. I just did meds, everyone gets a tiny treat so that they will always take meds. She ate the treat. So ....
I honestly felt like this week was an improvement 😥.
I'm sure she will eat dinner.

Sweet Gwen. Still working on everything. She bolted seconds later

Yesterday was fun ☹️
Apparently Gwen found a way to access a sticker forest.
Sigh
The good news is that she did not p**p on me!!!
That's growth!!
I swear she had those tiny balls everywhere!!!
She was silent and stoic.
That kind of sums her up
Happy Hump Day!

Happy lazy Sunday!!
Here's the scoop on Gwen.
She still shows signs of distress when I am up working or out of the house. Pacing, running in circles.
But if I'm sitting she wants to be right next to me.
She is eating every meal. I still have to "protect" her, but she eats.

She's awesome with the dog door and ramps. She likes outside and she seems to be unaffected by rain. WHAT???? I'm sure that's wrong 🤣

She is pretty reliable with potty training. I've never SEEN her go in the house. She loves being outside so I think that's where she goes.

She will come when called. She may not do what you want when she gets there, but she will come.

She does wag her tail when we go next door. We have seen the first feeble attempts at play.
She doesn't play with toys or want any sort of chew .
She will take a treat from me if I'm patient.
Chaos, noise, unexpected movements will all engage her flight instinct.
She doesn't bark. Like ever.
She's a shadow of a dog.

We have a long way to go

Current state of affairs.
It's a little chilly this morning.
Gwen is so tiny she can fit in the cracks ❤️
I can't wait to make more progress with Gwen. She is so tiny. Without question the smallest dog I've had.
She's got the loveliest coat. I'm smitten. Everyone who sees her is smitten. We have issues. The one time I tried to brush her she fear p**ped on me. 💩
We have bonded some. If I'm sitting she is right next to me. If I'm up she either goes outside or paces. She is going to need a lot of time.
In the meantime she can be my pretty pretty princess 👑

This is one of the behaviors we are working on.
Something will startle her and this is her observation platform.
She will sit there and stare. I will encourage her to come to me. But she has her own timetable. Eventually she slides in next to me.
This is the bedroom version of running in circles. That's panic.
This is just wary. Progress?

I have been up all night with a nasty migraine and the pack has been so comforting.
Poppy and Gwennie have become sisters. Poppy is so gentle and patient with all of the smaller dogs.
She has a marvelous attitude. She's submissive. She is learning so much now. So eager to please. So curious.
I love her to pieces ❤️❤️❤️

Gwen is making slow progress. Very slow.

Oh, also two of my seniors are ill.
Hambone has a mass on her bladder.
I'm just keeping her comfortable. Oh and kidney disease. It's a party.
Spiderman hurt his back and has been an impossible patient.
So much happening.
And Gwen loves Poppy.

So a little catch up.
Daphne is thriving in her new home after a hiccup.
She got lost. For three weeks!!
Her fabulous parents were relentless in finding her. Babs Fry advised them. She is back home. No injuries. Just a little weight loss.
Just a reminder, this can happen to anyone of us in an instant.
It has happened to most of us.
We are just thrilled she's home ❤️

This is her spot. Her security spot. She's very sweet. She has got a LOT of work to do, but she will be worth it. I've been trying to think of a name for her. I'm not going to continue to call her baby. She's answering to it, sort of. It's obvious she doesn't like it. So today something made me think of the game Pretty Pretty Princess. Late 90s commercial. The fabulous Princess Gwendolyn. Anyone remember?
So I've started calling her Gwendolyn. She looks every time. This is just an in house nickname since she's Zaya in the rescue. What do you think?

Improvement update!
In the last week, Baby Z went from bolting as a reaction to everything to not.
Meals were long and dramatic. Three bites and flee.
Without being held she finishes her meals and THEN bolts! That's progress.
Also. When I get up from bed or couch, she no longer freaks but waits for me to come back. Progress.
We are almost at the three month mark.
I think routine and trust have been established.
She's such a tiny little baby. She has a piece of my heart ❤️

Gwen is starting to act like a dog ❤️

Baby Gwennie in the front yard!!

The grandogs are here for a few days. Wednesday is tiny. Poppy and Wednesday are besties. Poppy is so gentle with her.

I've had the grand dogs this weekend. 3 littles. I was a little worried how this would work. They figured it out 😄

Crazy dog time!!! She's doing great! We're working hard on housebreaking and basic commands. Sigh. She's got the brain of a puppy 😭😜

Here's a little Hump Day happiness. These two stayed quietly in their kennel for two hours after breakfast while I battled a migraine. They are so sweet. They are letting all that energy out! They are still searching for their furever home.

We have a water dog!!!

Happy Easter!! A little puppy play for you all These two have zero concept of " Personal space". 🐰🐣

Oh friends. These two have kept me on my toes. I've had to re baby proof the house. These leggy babies can reach areas my pack doesn't even know exist. I had to move or cover several mirrors. Daisy was constantly surprised and ready to defend against that intruder! There's confetti all over the house and yard. Any scrap of paper. Envelope. Tissue. Coaster, magazine, newspaper 😢🤣😂 Ok. They are ADORABLE chaos. They are cuddle bugs. But thankfully, like toddlers they eventually give out. What an adventure!

5 months old. And full of energy. The shelter advised us that they were terrified and unsocialized. As you can see they have conquered their fear. They are super super sweet babies. I have a very large kennel and I got it out last night because they couldn't settle. They went in willingly and settled right down. They return to the kennel with very little encouragement. Safe to say they were crate trained. Zero whining or barking. They just went to sleep. Got up. Are breakfast. They are learning to eat from separate bowls. The dog ramp only had to be pointed out. They are young and rambunctious. They are not sure about outside. I'm going to get them collars today. They are freshly spayed so I'm going to wait a day or two before we try a walk. Names pending..

Happy fish taco Tuesday! Live action video of Bentley killing his own fish for dinner! Two year olds hahaha hahaha!

I don't know what happened to my post I wrote earlier, probably operator error. Just some Monday morning yard time.

Yesterday we had a setback. I had people over in the yard and she freaked out and ran in circles for such a long time. I didn't think I was going to catch her. But today she's fine and came in when I called her. Yay. As fast as she seems to be progressing she still has some major fear issues. We have to work on trust

Here you can see how much more steady she is on her feet. And FAST

First of all sorry! I can't figure out how to change the video orientation. I've been keeping an eye on Mercy. If you watch closely you can see her back legs have a drunken gait. I took her in. She has a minor back injury. She's going to take meds and rest. My own pack have had at least one back problem each. She's going to be fine in no time.

A little front yard escapade. She surprised me by running out with the pack. And came in with them. I swear she's better housebroken than all of my dogs out together. So refreshing. Happy Hump Day!!

She's so stinking normal. Going to need a brushing. Oh, no dogs escaped during this filming. Gotta watch Grace every minute. She's part Houdini. And she has a strong prey drive.

A little early morning playtime!

Woke up to all the dogs, snacking. Loudly.

We did not get very far. She does NOT like being away from the house. Perhaps because of the cacophony being broadcast from those left behind. I need to sneak her out of the house. On the plus side, she's really fast going home.

Buffy - Feral Dachshund Mix

The day after Thanksgiving 2019, SCDR (Dachshund Rescue) was asked by a local shelter to take a scared doxie mix. They felt to make progress she needed to be in a foster home.

Dachshund are often terrified in the shelter, so we had no qualms about saying yes.

When we got the dog, now named Buffy, home, it was clear she was a case all by herself. Her fear had nothing to do with the shelter. She was absolutely feral. Given a chance to go outside and all she wanted to do was run and hide. She went into overdrive flight or fight mode. Being outside escalated her fears.

We moved Buffy to a special foster home to see if we could turn her into an adoptable dog. This is her journey. It will be filled with milestones and forward leaps and backward steps. We hope at the end of this journey that Buffy can get a loving home.
