Hello friends and fellow pet lovers!
I am following up my previous dur child post https://ecency.com/hive-196708/@michieme/fur-child-number-1 with one about my 2nd child.
Meet Dutch
Dutchie is my second baby and only 1 year and 1 month old. He was a gift from my friends and family for my 30th birthday last year, but also a cheer-me-up after my fiancé's passing.
To be very honest, in the beginning I was not too fond of him. I was emotionally and physically exhausted, and worried about Luna. In that state I was not prepared to look after a puppy. Luckily my sister was living with me and she helped out a lot.
I definitely had my days where I could just eat him up.. I mean, those cute, fat paws, long floppy ears and blue eyes were the cutest things ever!
While packing to move, he wanted to help
He is very independent and definitely has a mind of his own. When he wants to do something, nothing will stop him! He likes climbing on top of Luna so that she can move and make space for him on my lap.
Napping is one of his favourite past times, like anu daschund, but don't think you can cuddle him while he is sleeping. When you give him kisses or hugs while he is sleeping, he growls at you 😂 His personality is just so addictive and you cannot get enough of him once you meet him.
How cute is he
Aa much as he irritates Luna, they are the best of friends! They play until they can't no more. If someone or another puppy is mean to him, she protects him. She also teaches him her ways, and that helped a lot when he was younger!
Thank you for visiting and meeting my 2nd baby. Hope he melted your heart like he does mine every day. I will see you again soon!
Keep loving your pets and stay safe!

He is beautiful and I am sure the little guy will bring you years of enrichment on so many levels :)
Thanks! Yes he has definitely been a little blessing and makes me laugh when I need it the most
That is awesome :)
Dutchy Doodle! Still a heart-stealing little doggo for sure! I am so glad that even grown up he still kept the big floppy ears and huge paws. Too cute!
Oh definitely!! When he sits listening for something and you see him from behind, I swear he looks like an elephant 😂
Awww, little nunu. I need to visit him again sometime.
Puppies are insanely energy consuming. I was house sitting for friends as they worked on cruise liners and they adopted a daschund puppy just before they went back for another 8 month stint on the seas. Little Lola was an absolute terrorist! Harassing the cats and even chewed a whole pack of antique leather coasters: the box too! She was super loving and had zero discipline 🤣 basically a toddler, but too short and too fast to catch. They also had a much older dashie who used to jump into my bed before I'd even get the chance to lift the duvet a few centimeters. I had the priveldge of knowing and loving him for nigh on 12 years. He passed away at the age of 19. Such special dogs!
They are the cutest! So fiesty yet so loving. Luna jumps on the bed and waits for me when she knows it's bed time 🤣
Dear @michieme, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency,
