Peanut, the Dog of the Day
Name: Peanut
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Mini Dachshund
Home: Rockland, Massachusetts, USA
 
   This is my girl Peanut. She is a beautiful chocolate mini Dachshund who is extremely lovable. She was only three pounds, eyes and ears too big for her head and actually kind of funny looking when I bought her. But I fell in love with her the minute I held her. Needless to say, I was back at the pet store that night buying her. As you can see, she grew into her features and is the most loveable dog I have ever owned. Everyone calls her the "licking puppy" because she is just so affectionate. She had just been home for two days after having surgery to remove a benign lump from her chest when this picture was taken.

    I bought Peanut a friend about three years ago. Her name is Bailee. Bailee is also a mini Dachshund, but red in coloring. It only took Peanut about a day to get used to having another pet in the house. She is actually more like a mother to Bailee. Watching the two of them together is so much fun. They are both have such different personalities, but are both wonderful pets. My neighbors have told me that they didn't even know I had a pet until I got Bailee. Peanut became much more vocal once Bailee came home to stay. It is never dull with "the Girls" (as everyone likes to call them) around. They just brighten up your life.
