Thanks for the nice replies. I have a confession to make. For some time now I have been hoping to get a little puppy sibling for Bodea. I took the plunge this afternoon.

I now have a standard dachsund male pup for Bodea and I to play with

His name is Henry. Photos soon. The little rug rat is asleep at the moment. He is only 8 weeks old. Bodea is enjoying cleaning his ears.

Great fun!
