Big doings today - first off, we had a lovely family walk in the rain. (I know... but it's Portland. If we wait for a sunny day, it's going to be July.) Well, the girls had a lovely walk. Moose had a scooter ride, from which he surveyed his kingdom and kept an eye on the girls. The girls are surprisingly strong - when they start out, they go for the gusto, digging into the track and pulling in tandem. Which would be a lot more impressive if they didn't have those cute little dachshund butts trailing, wiggling side to side like Can-Can girls.
Afterwards, we had a good toweling off session, and then... Lili actually consented to sit in my lap and snuggle! For a good thirty minutes, and even better, Moose didn't object - they curled up together and allowed me to worship them until Daniel showed up. This is big - it's the first time either of the girls have acknowledged me without food being involved, so we may be starting to build a pack (as for my worries about Moose, he's been accepted into their pack since the first day - he's in love with Daisy. I think it's the coloring.)
To top it all off, both of the girls have figured out how to use the doggie door, so it's been a red letter day!
