We love our pets! We have two miniature dachshunds, who were our first babies named Lilly and Macie! Bella also has a hamster named Trena. When we first got Lilly, only a few months after getting married, she really
was our baby. We would take her everywhere with us and let her sleep in our bed. A year later we decided she needed a friend and so we got Macie. They didn't hit it off at first. Lilly didn't want anything to do with the new puppy! A couple of days later she decided to give Macie a chance and they have been best pals ever since. A lot has changed since we first brought Lilly home! We have had two children and now our kids just adore their puppies! Our dogs bring a lot of love to our home! Our days are always filled with the barking of Lilly and Macie! They bark when we come home, they bark at the mail man, etc. They give us a lot of love too! Below is a picture of Macie and Bella.

Why am I telling you our dogs' life stories?
