Snuggies in the House!

I have not properly introduced my Dachshunds as of yet.

Bratwurst, aka Bratty aka Rotty Rotty Brotty is the fatter of the two sausages, and the typical Alpha male. He gets jealous of any attention gained by Schnitzel. His signature move is to punt her off the sofa. We are working on this. Brat also LOVES big dogs and has a knack at getting them to act submissive towards him in exchange for affection. Schitzel is more wire-haired than her brother, and often resembles Splinter or sometimes a Wookie. Shnitz loves to be held like a baby and play dead for treats.
My friend Nikola (Rhymes with Ricola) just moved in for the Summer Rangering season. She is a great match, not only because she is so social, but due to her adoration of my mini doxies. With Nikola came a snuggie, a snuggie, which one unpacked became both prey and a wonderful place to nap to Brat. He has been poncing on it with his "cat-like" reflexes, wrapping it into a circle while growling and cuddling into it. He will not leave Nikola alone when she is wearing it and hence......our friend, George found a solution, by purchasing Brat his very own Snuggie.

I think he likes it but was not to sure about it, until we let Schnitzel try it on.
She looked adorable!
She just loved wearing Brats snuggie until...
...he said "Give it back!"

Brat and Schnitzle Play Dead


They just learned to roll over and stay. They really love getting their treats, and are starting to figure out the benefits of sitting still.
