Bart 2...TN

Bart is doing great. He comes to work with me every day, and has made friends with everyone in the office. At first he barked at visitors to the building, but has gotten better and better about not doing that as he gets settled in. He also has quit barking nearly as much at neighbors and workers in my condo complex. Obviously, he is feeling much more secure and at-home. Bart arrived 99% house-broken. Someone put a lot of good attention into training Bart for him to end-up abandoned. I've learned it is hard to walk a hound on a leash, as Bart's nose dictates where he wants to go. But he is getting better about that. For the most part, he is a very well behaved little doggie. We have our first vet appointment this afternoon, just to get him established there. I am not much of a camera buff. I submitted pics when I registered his chip, for identification purposes, but don't have any that are good enough to submit to the site. I will say that I strongly recommend adopting from a rescue operation in general and All-American Dachshund Rescue in particular. It is a great way to get a high-quality pet, and to know what to expect with no unpleasant surprises, while giving a deserving pet a good home. I knew that I wanted to adopt instead of supporting a breeder at this point, but had no idea that it was possible to rescue a small pure-breed such as a Dachshund (in keeping with my complex's 20 lb weight limit) until a friend who is a foster home for AADR introduced me to your website. So I am very grateful. Thank you. Alan
