We spent the past 4 days on the coast
- relatives came to visit from Montana, they used to live here in SW Oregon.....they were the first of the family to move here from the east coast back in 1980, if I remember the year correctly.......many of us followed over the years and then they had to escape us all. Montana is beautiful but we won't be following them there, too cold and snowy for us.
Sandra & Monte have had several mini-dachshunds over the years, this is the new addition to their family, Gia, a long haired mini. They've done a good job socializing her as doxies can sometimes have snippy personalities - she's a real cutie and loves everyone, humans and dogs. We weren't sure how Bailey would react to a dog the size of a squirrel (he hates the dreaded squirrels who taunt him) but he did great and really enjoyed having her around. He even let her pounce on him, paw at his face and give him kisses - I think he loves her and I know she's in love with him. I'm not sure how much Gia weighs but Bailey has to weigh at least 10-15 times more than her. I tried to capture some fun shots of her loving him up but she's so darned fast I'd just get her tail in the shot so pix from the beach are as good as I could get. Tonight is a family dinner back here in the valley so they'll be loving each other up again before Gia heads back to Montana.
It was Gia's first time on the beach - she loved it
She pretty much stuck by Bailey learning the ropes
I think she was a bit puzzled by the rolling in the sand and kicking legs in the air
In the end - two pals heading back to the house after a day of frolicking on the beach
They are quite the odd couple, aren't they?
