I Can’t Believe She’s In Here With Me

Dexter and Roo in basket

I got this shot the other evening of Dexter pretending not to notice that he was sharing the basket bed with Little Miss Roo.  He kept his head buried the entire time, and wouldn't look at her or us.  As I mentioned in the original post on Roo, the Dachshunds were not exactly happy to have someone else small and cute show up.  So when we put Roo in the basket with Dexter to keep an eye on her while we made dinner, it seemed to add insult to injury.  He wouldn't even acknowledge she was in the basket with him.  "This is NOT happening," he seemed to be (wishfully) thinking.  Of course, Roo likes everyone, even the Dachshunds, but Dexter wasn't having any of it.  He finally hopped out and came into the kitchen, where he patiently waited in vain for something edible to fall off the counter.

    Sweetness!! Maybe it would be good if you told Dexter, “Shhhh, you’re the king of the doxies. We need your help to look after the baby ’til she gets her wheels.”

    Poor Little Miss Roo. She can’t help that she is so darn cute.
    Okay….so Dexter is not going to be her buddy. Who are you going to
    try to persuade next?
    The picture does say a thousand words. Some of the words may not be printable though ;-o!!

    I love this little Roo, she has stolen my heart and I know given time Dexter and the others will feel the same way. I am so glad she found a home with you at RDR, you are a blessing, thank you for the work you do.

    I am in love with Little Miss Roo :=)
    I have a Chihuahua mix and I bet once she gets her courage and feels comfortable, she will give those Dachshunds a run for their money…LOL. I’m afraid if she was my little girl, I would never be able to put her down…..that face is so adorable! Thank you for all you do! You two are the best!!!

    How funny. We have a similar situation at our house, with toothless older chap just hating the new puppy. He’s mellowed a bit: he now lets her groom his face. It will be interesting to see how the doxies mellow in their approach to Roo.
    Pack dynamics is fascinating to watch.

    Little Miss Roo has won my heart & I think the Doxie’s are just trying to play hard to get but secretly they love her as much as we do!!! I’m so glad she has found her way to RDR!
    That pic is the sweetest ever & Dexter is hilarious trying to act like he doesn’t care…

    Dexter, Dexter, Dexter…look at that cute little face. She is new and needs a friend. You 2 could become real good buddies and you could work the cuteness factor to the max!! If you cant beat ’em, join ’em. Just think of the attention you would get if you 2 joined forces, irresistable!

    Steve,
    I swear you have to be part dachshund! Everytime you write what you think they are thinking it just cracks me up.

    I hope one of the house dogs will become friends with the little miss and give her some cuddles. She is going to be a RDR favorite I can tell……..

    LOVE the name. I had a yorkie rescue named Little Miss Maddie. She was a little miss, too.

    Roo will have them wrapped around her paws in no time, and soon she’ll have more minions than Alayne! 🙂
