I've taken a ton of pictures lately but I'm only going to post a few for now. Lots of them look a lot alike anywho. Most of the good quality pictures are of Tucker because he's the only one willing to pose and be nice for the camera. Claire goes into light hunting mode as soon as you touch the camera. Rebel just stays with Shannon all the time but he got some cute ones of Rebel laying on the arm of the couch. hehe Molly doesn't mind pictures too much though, I've got a few really good ones of her too.

These were taken today and yesterday. Enjoy!

Claire with her lovely red eyes, hehe

Rebel being a cutie patootie!

Molly

and last but not least, little Tucker boy! He's lost a lot of teeth today, poor guy, I tried to grab one but I couldn't get it, he closed his mouth, it came loose, and down it went... lol It boggles my mind how they can just swallow those toofers! I know his mouth must be sore, he's gettings lots of extra kisses

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your lovely comments

Tucker has grown up quite a bit. He's a funny boy.

He's about 20lbs now.

Molly belonged to my father, I haven't updated her Dogster page in quite awhile but here's a short version of what's happend.

I had Molly from around October last year to January. She'd had a litter of pups in September and I took them all to find them homes since I knew my dad would just let anyone have them. Well, in January he was begging to have his dog back and promised to consider having her spayed and most importantly to keep her away from his male dachshund. Well, April came and Molly had another litter of puppies.

I took her and the babies in early June I believe it was and once the pups where old enough I found them homes as well. When I got Molly that day I hadn't seen her in awhile. When she left here she was healthy, a great weight, beautiful. When I got her, she had hair loss, she was skinny, and just looked awful! I took her to my vet immediately because I was afriad she might have something contagious such as mange or a fungus. We did blood work on her and found that everything was below normal except her white blood cell count which was over the high mark, and that she was having thryoid issues. She was on antibiotics for 10 days and she's currently on thryoid medicine. The blood test also revealed that she had microfilaria, baby heartworms.

I cried and got mad and various other emotions and decided she's staying with me or if I can't keep her in the end, I'll team up with dachshund rescue, anything to keep her from my dad. I'm also trying to get my dad to give up his male dachshund but he won't budge and I'm to the point of calling in animal control on him. Anyway, I'm having Molly treated right now and once she's better she's being spayed. She's such a sweatheart, and very tiny, but she's gained weight now and she acts so much happier.

I didn't say anything sooner because I was pretty much overloaded with all these things at once. Molly's treatment is going well, she's had no complications so far and we've got a couple more weeks until her second part of treatment.

Not very short was it, sorry guys.
