Introducing: Bandit
Meet Abbye's new cousin, Bandit:
Bandit's a "dachshuahua" (you can figure that out, can't you?) and he's a few months old now, in that puppy stage where he's either going a hundred miles an hour or is completely unconscious. He belongs to (or, to be more accurate, owns; you can probably figure that out, too) my brother and his wife, who lost their last little dog earlier this summer to a rattlesnake bite. That dog was quite a personality, but Bandit is going to give him a run for his money in that department.
Abbye's not terribly impressed, by the way. Bandit enjoys carrying out sneak attacks (having not yet figured out that any attack on a blind dog falls into that category), and Abbye's reflexes aren't quite fast enough for effective paw-swipe retaliation. But they still get along pretty well.
Puppies have a built-in advantage in that regard. Even Abbye understands that.

Posted by: Brian at September 18, 2007 08:21 PMBrian, the way he moves around, you'd swear there was more than one of him, sometimes.
Posted by: Eric at September 18, 2007 08:28 PMHe's really, really, really cute!
Posted by: Rach at September 19, 2007 01:26 AMwhat a cute puppy that is...very very cute.
Posted by: Rahul Roy at September 19, 2007 01:49 AMI know Peanut can't be replaced but what a darling "follow-on." It's great to get to see a picture of my new little "great-nephew!"
Still hoping to get a copy of the picture of your mom and Peanut that you had on your site.
Posted by: Margaret at September 19, 2007 09:18 AMBy the way, last week my lawn maintenance person asked if I would consider taking a baby daschuahua. After seeing this picture, it really makes me wish I were ready to be owned by another 4-legged child.
Posted by: Margaret at September 19, 2007 09:22 AMMargaret, I was hoping you'd stop by and see Bandit's photo; I actually had you in mind - among a few others - when I posted it. Figured you'd enjoy seeing him.
It's really hard to know when (or if) one should get another dog after losing a long-time and much loved companion. I'm sure that when the time is right, you'll know it without a doubt.
If I can find that photo of Peanut, I'll email it to you.
Posted by: Eric at September 19, 2007 09:27 AMDude, that's a miniature Pinscher.
Posted by: George at September 20, 2007 04:09 PMDude, we know the parents.
(In your defense, if I'd provided a photo of him standing, you'd be able to see that he's clearly not a Min Pin.)
Posted by: Eric at September 20, 2007 04:18 PMBright eyes and floppy ears - he's a winner! :)
Posted by: Denise at September 21, 2007 08:46 PMThat's exactly what my wife said about me when we first met!

What an adorable little puppy. Can I smoosh him? Please? He looks like he needs smooshing.
Not that Abbye isn't still fabulous. But oh, what a cutie!
