New Addition to the Family

As some of you know, Dox passed away on the 5th around midnight. He was almost 15 years old. My parents went to a local shelter (Pasadena Animal Control) and found a cute little guy who needed a good home. Hank looks like he might be a Dachshund/Beagle mix. He was found wandering around outside an apartment complex in Pasadena. He's already fitting in perfectly. He's four or five months old and already goes to the door when he needs to go out. He's only had two accidents, both being on the rug by the door, I guess we just didn't notice he needed to go out in time. He already knows that an open fridge means food and will stand there while you pull things out.



Ok, my parents have gone little dog crazy lol. When they went to the Pasadena Animal Shelter they originally went to look at a female Dachshund, but found that a couple had already said they wanted her, so they looked at Hank and got him. Friday my mom called the shelter to ask about the little girl and they called her back on Monday and told her that the couple backed out and decided on a different dog and that she was available... so my parents got her. She's 1 year old and LOVES my mom. Her name is Cleo and she seems to be a little submissive, not sure what her background is. The shelter told my parents that her previous owner brought her in because they got a new dog and couldn't keep her, but her submissiveness doesn't fit into that. When you say "No!" she cowards down like she's going to get hit. She growled at me on first contact, but warmed up a little by the end of the night and was letting me pet her. Tonight when I walked into the house she barked then when she saw it was me she ran over and jumped up on my leg. She let me hold her and wanted to jump in my lap while I was sitting down, but Hank already had his head there lol.
