The left side of my lap is hotly contested property! Lilly, is my dapple girl, and Willie is my double dapple little Man. One will lay on my left until the other one lays on top of them and drives them out when they can no longer breathe, due to the added weight. Lilly is a small girl, and she figured out that if she worked her way down into the area between the cushion and the armrest, he could not get enough weight onto her. Willie, always up to a challange, devised the perfect way around the new, safer location. All he has to do, is to stand on his head, and he can still put enough pressure on her, to run her off. Dachshunds are Never booring, LOL!
