Have to say first, I have had dachshunds since I was a child decades ago - but Miss Mila is really different . Besides being beautiful and loving she is the most stubborn animal I have owned - or has owned me. She suffers badly from separation anxiety which is okay because we are home most of the time - but when we leave the house it is heartbreaking - she howls and howls. I keep hoping she will grow out of it and realise we are never away long - just shopping etc. Fortunately my son and his wife have moved back from the US and can’t have a dog right now - so she is perfect ,suited to long runs and trips out. So I would have to say this adoption has worked out well for us all - so thank you. We both adore her and every night she sits on husband’s lap while he watches TV. At bedtime she sleeps in her bed next to my bed - so happiness all round Jennifer Macdonald.
