Shelly the Loving Dachshund

Hi Diane It was nice to meet you and everybody else who is part of PRBJ. Shelly had a wander around the yard, and explored her new house and just settled straight in. She is eating well, she went to sleep without any problems, after trying a little big eyed whining to get up on our bed, she saw our other dog settle into her bed, and settled down into her own bed and there wasn't a peep out of her until this morning. She has spent the whole morning in and out of the house, tail wagging constantly. We did change her name to avoid confusion as our Maltese is Ellie so everytime we called Shelly, she thought we were calling her ! We have named her Betsy. It was love at first sight for my husband and I, and she seems happy here. I have booked an appointment with our vet tomorrow, so I can get her heartworm tablets and some advice on how much weight she needs to gain. She looks a little thin but I know you have to be careful with how much weight a dachshund gains, so want to be very careful about that. I have been taking photos and will keep you up to date on her progress. Thank you all for making it possible for us to find a new member of our family. Marion
