I am a Pug/Dachshund/Chinese Crested mix.

My person passed unexpectedly and the twins had to move away. I miss them. But my gramma found me my new Mom and Uncle to live with. After three days fostering, my Uncle said I can live with them forever.

Even though I am six years old, I am learning many new things as my new Mom is taking me to Fetch the Leash in Burlington for doggie school. I just completed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. I am not always a good listener, but I love treats so that helps. My Mom dresses me in different coats and things. She loved my Grannie costume, though I didn’t care for the wig, I let her get a picture of me.

I love smelling all the smells on my walks with my dachshund nose, but when I sleep, the Chinese Crested in me likes to sleep up high on the back of the couch. And my Pug face is irresistible. My other favorite place is to be the 16-pound dog anchor sitting on Mom’s lap or my Uncle’s. I love snuggles and belly rubs. They didn’t know they needed me but now can’t see how they lived without me. I have them wrapped around my little paws!
