Zoie has only been with us for a few nights, but she's been a great little house guest. We are not sure what her history was before coming to stay with us, but she loves to be held or to snuggle up somewhere warm. If she wants to be with you on the couch and you don't pick her up in time, she'll climb right up on her own like a little spider monkey.   Our vet does not quite know what, besides dachshund, Zoie is mixed with, so we aren't entirely certain how big she will grow, but he feels confident she will remain on the smaller side.  Zoie is a typical puppy and loves to play, but she does not like to share her bones with other dogs and sometimes shows her teeth to let it be known she would rather keep her bones to herself, so we are working to teach her better manners with regard to that behavior.  She has been exposed to small and large dogs and cats and gets along with everyone.  We are also working on potty training and things are coming along, although she will sometimes get so excited to be let out of her kennel she pees a little before going out. If she is startled, she will pee a little as well, but once she is outside, she goes about her business and returns to the house, ready and rearing to play, play, play.   Zoie has otherwise been doing well with kenneling and adjusting to a schedule. She will fuss a bit at first when it's time for bed, but calms down quickly and remains quiet through the night until everyone gets up to start their day.  Zoie is a sweet little girl who will walk right into your home and steal your heart, so be prepared to fall in love with her for life.
