Tux, our little dachshund, was our first little baby. We got him when he was very young. It was the first time his mother had a litter and she wasn’t handling it very well. So we got him at about 4 weeks and had to ween him on a bottle.
It was like taking care of a little baby. We had to get up a couple of times in the night to feed him. As he was very small, we had him sleep on the bed with us. During the nights we would wake up panicking thinking we had rolled onto him. It was quite strange, and because we’ll probably never have children (by choice) I can only imagine this is how it must be to have kids.

Sleeping with the Daddy
Tux got used to having his blankie with him at all times. To this day, more than 5 years later, he is still our little baby. He falls asleep at night sucking on his blankie. Some nights we still let them sleep with us, but mostly each one has his own little pillow around on bed on which they sleep. Tux has a way of getting himself nice and snuggled underneath any blanket, no matter how big or small. Even being the smallest, he is the one with the biggest mouth and he doesn’t stand down, not even for our bull terrier.
