I’m part Dachshund, part Beagle and I can prove it: I love burrowing under the covers and sleeping there the entire night, although my human wonders why I don’t come up for air! That’s the Dachshund in me. As for my Beagle side, I have a wickedly effective sniffer and love to smell anything and everything while on walks. Although I’m still young, I already have an impressive bark.

I love plush toys, especially ones with squeakers! I also love rubber Kong toys (the black ones are the strongest; otherwise I chew up the softer ones.) My human tosses the toy and I fetch it, bring it back and wait for her to toss it again. I could do this for quite a long time! If I play too roughly, I start to get nippy and humpy so the human must redirect me to a calmer activity till I settle down.

And I’m cuddly as all get-out. I love snuggling up to my human on the couch or in bed. I curl up like a pretzel and shove my nose under her arm or whatever is available.
