Yes, never be without one. Wife was crowing about having a baby early in our marriage and I bought some time with a dog. She wanted some kind of Poo mix and I told her that weenie dogs were the only small dogs I would consider. So we got Hildegard, a Black and Tan female that was the best weener ever. Never barked or tore anything up in the ten years she lived with us before she got cancer and died.

By then we had our son and he needed a replacement for his bedtime buddy. So last Christmas we got Otto for him. They are inseparable and Otto is a good little guy with the heart of a lion. I lost him out crappie fishing when he was 4 months old and he roamed the countryside amongst the coyotes and pigs for 4 days before a friend turned him up in a barn half a mile from where I’d lost him.
