long story short, my stepsister and her husband found a runaway mini-dachshund and after months of looking for the owner, they finally just kept her. three mini-dachshunds is apparently a lot, so she's now taken up residence with us. Less than six pounds and probably shorter than my forearm, and to top it all off she'll play fetch until you're too tired to throw anymore. now i just have to teach her to sit up like bo.
