Welcome, Trudy!

This is Trudy.

Trudy is our newest family member. She's a full-blooded dachshund who will be a year old on Christmas day.

Like us, Trudy is a former Floridian. Her owner could no longer take care of her and gave Trudy to a daughter who is a homeschool mom here in the upstate. That family loved Trudy but already had a lot of pets (including chickens) but no fenced-in yard. This little explorer liked to visit with the neighbors. Trudy's new family was sad but felt Trudy would do better in a family who had children and pets (NOT including chickens) and a fenced yard where Trudy could run, play, and explore.

So their loss is our gain and Trudy is getting settled in our home. She does enjoy exploring outside in the wee-hours but we hope that will be a sleepy-memory in the very near future. Trust me, it's a bit chilly at 3:00 in the morning!

So, from our whole crew here, a whole-hearted "Welcome to our family, Trudy!" We're big, and loud, and full of love. We hope you'll love us, too.
