Meet the Dachshunds

Miley self soothes...

[Sue is from West Central Florida where she is raising an eight-month-old, long-haired doxie named Mylie-Mae. Having gone from owning three german shepherds to now their second dachshund, this is one family that will only have doxies from now on!]

Yes, of course she has her blankets and her babies, but she also sucks her thumb!

Well, okay, it may be the side of her paw but we call her our thumb sucking doxie when Mylie drags her right paw into her mouth sideways and begins sucking away. She will occasionally lick the paw, but undoubtedly, she returns to sucking, her eyes get heavy, and then off to sleep she goes.


Just as a baby, she will even begin sucking in her sleep. She was not weaned early and just started thumb sucking 2 months ago!

My dachshund Jesse does a very similar thing - except he sucks on the head of an toy mouse from IKEA. Miley is adorable! Love her colouring (then again I might be a bit biased as Jesse is the same colouring as Miley). :)
