Martie's First night home.  After a bath and blow dry Martie settles down with Mom.

Martie makes himself at home at 9 weeks.  He loves to sit and sleep on the bed.

This Toy was Martie's Favorite.  I don't know what happen to it.  And I am so sad that I cant seem to find another one.  Martie is around 3 1/2 months here.

Hi my name is Martie, I'm a Dachshund.  Also know as Hotdog's, Wiener dog's and Doxie's.  I was born April 5, 1999.  I was raised with my mom and siblings.  One day when I was about 8 weeks my Dad's owners came and got me and my sibling's, and took us to a store.  It was my dad's owner's store.  There were a lot of different pupper's there.  They put me and my sibling's in one big cage.  They treated us nice and let us run around the floor at closing time.  The next day people came into the store and They would come over to our cage and pick one of us up, I would watch while the people would hold my Brother's and Sister's and then leave with them. "HEY, where you going I would ask?"  "To my new home I going to have a owner now!"  my sibling would reply.  "Who's going to be my owner?"
 I wondered.

 Soon it was only me and one of my brothers left.  Just the 2 of us.  "Who would come and take me away." I thought. A little later 2 people came walking in. A man and a woman.  The store owner came over to our cage and took me and my brother out.  I was so happy I just ran all over the place.  "WOW these shoes look like fun!" " I want to get them."  I thought while I ran after and patted the store owners shoes.   I heard someone calling and looked over to see the woman on the floor.  She was sitting and calling me. So I decided to go over to her.  She held me, pet me and hugged me.  It felt so good.  I liked her she had a nice voice and when she held me I felt so safe.

"Oh he is the one!"  "He is Perfect!" the lady said.  "You want me to be your Mommy?"  She asked me.  She sure seemed nice and much more interesting than anything else around here.  The next thing I knew I was leaving.  I looked at my brother  and said good-bye.  We took a long train ride home.  But it didn't bother me. She held me all the way to my new home.  She said that she was my Mommy and called the man with her My Daddy.  A new Mommy and Daddy, and a new home.  When we finally got there I saw even more people. My Auntie and Uncle.  I have a sister to.  I love them all so much. I am so happy that they picked me.
