April 2nd Update from Midge:
It is Midge here. Today I am composing my update from my foster mom's clothes drawer. She was looking for some pants, and I climbed in for a rest. It is really pretty comfortable.
As you can see, I was allowed out of jail - I mean the crate - because of my back rehab. Every once in awhile my foster mom lets me walk around the house a little to get out my energy. She feels bad for me to be penned up all the time.
I will be going back for my last check up on my back in the next few days. I have been feeling really good.
I absolutely love my new squeaker toy my foster mom gave me to keep me entertained while I am on crate rest. In fact I love all dog toys, food (dog or human) and treats. Yesterday I waited at the back door to go outside and I think my foster mom almost cried.
I am almost ready for adoption. Please come visit me at the Spring Fling!

Update from Midge -
I am really getting used to living in a loving home. I hate the cone I have to wear on my head right now, but it is because I can't help to try and chew my stitches. Only a few more days! I am starting to like going out more. I used to be afraid to go outside, but now I am excited. I actually went out with my foster brother today. It was a really nice day so I did some sun bathing on the patio and sat in the flower beds. It was very relaxing. To finish my day off I got to go on a walk with my foster family. I was so good on the leash - but I like to take off. Someone with long legs needs to walk me because I mean business when I get out there. There are too many things to smell - who can wait for humans to keep up!

Wow! This is the best Valentine's Day ever. It is hard to believe how much my doggie life has changed in two weeks. I was treated with so much love at the vet and now my foster family gives me all sorts of love. I am getting better at going out to pee pee. I get a treat each time I go outside and go pee pee and my foster mom and brothers make a big deal about it. I feel like a queen. I am still getting used to everyone and sometimes am skittish. My foster mom has to pick me up to go outside - I am just not too sure about that cold concrete and wet dirt and grass. My foster brother who is 8 is very fun and dances around all the time. He is helping me get used to noise and to not be as scared. Yesterday I got to ride in the car to my other brother's tennis lesson. I am so good in the car. Each day I will get more familiar with everyone and everything and will conquer this potty outside thing.
Love,
Midge
From her Spring Fling presentation:
Midge has struggled and overcome her back problem. She underwent surgery and has successfully beaten the Dachshund Curse: a bad back. She now swaggers proudly on her leash and thinks of ways to get her sister Barbie in trouble. You probably saw that picture on the DroH website and the concern in the face of her foster mom. Midge is here to tell you that not all back emergencies have a bad ending. She's just waiting show you what a survivor she is.
