Well what a rewarding experience we have had with our Miss Millie. We were convinced that we would be able to manage this sassy little lady with no problems at all. We were about to find out what a strong will this little lady has but please stick with us as all ends well. Our first day started with not being able to get her out of the car as she was so terrified about whether she could trust these strangers who had taken possession of her. She was going to bite us and it was like she was in a fight for her life. Our heart was breaking and we just wanted to show her that she was going to be very loved. I should mention that we have another male dachshund called Puddles. Once we got her out of the car and introductions were made between herself and Puddles, she began to feel more comfortable. We eventually made our way into the house and in no time at all she was snuggling up to us for some measure of comfort. She would come to us on her own terms and in her own time. It wasn't long before she was beginning to play with her toys and vying for our attention. She was enjoying our walks and was more accepting of visitors to the house. Millie’s personality started to shine through and she is now a beautiful confident and delightful little dog with a lot of love to give and we absolutely adore her. She and Puddles are very much a bonded pair now and daily zoomies are part of a normal day. Our days and nights are spent with them both within inches of us and we wouldn't have it any other way. If there is one thing we have learnt by this experience, it is to be patient and my goodness you will be rewarded. Dachshund Rescue do such wonderful work in finding homes for these precious pups and you must be prepared for some work but it is so worth the journey.
