That’s Oliver and Twist, the new Dachshund arrivals, enjoying some snuggle time together. These two guys are closely bonded with each other, and it’s really cute to see how often they’re looking to see where the other one is. Once out of quarantine, they moved right in — they may not have had much human contact in their previous life, but that didn’t stop them from making themselves at home.
When we let them out of the isolation cottage and brought them to the house, we opened the back door and they scurried in. Well, Oliver (the tan one) actually hopped in and Twist — despite the rear leg that sticks out — zoomed in. When he wants to move fast, he just lifts that leg up and gets it out of the way. But he does use it when he wants to turn, and he will put weight on it when standing still. These two characters bring the Dachshund pack now up to seven.
And if you thought they were adorable in that photo, here’s another one I took a few moments later:
Dachshund togetherness, huh?
