6 weeks of Nyla 💜🩷 I can't believe we have had her 6 weeks now.
Sorry i haven't posted at all lately, Nyla is like having s new baby, I've been spending all my time with her. She is a stage 100 clinger. I read that Dachshunds are clingy but so are my toy poodles but holy sh she is so much more clingy than the poodles, she won't even sit with my partner & she has to always see me or she panics, she sleeps on me or next to me every single time she naps, not in her bed, not near my partner, not a few cm away from me, nope, on me or directly against me. I wanted to build another close relationship with a dog because my soul dog Ruby is 14 years old now & I worry about how I'm going to cope when that day comes, if i think about that day i start panicking & feeling the pain that will come, Ruby is everything to me, she is my support dog, when I'm not good she stays extra close, if im crying then she licks my tears & makes me pat her so I'll calm down, she lays on my lap & basically helps me through. I love all my poodles, but Ruby & I have a special relationship. Anyway, I wanted another soul dog to help me when the time comes with Ruby.
As most of you probably know I have depression, but also anxiety & undiagnosed (the old kind where it's blazingly obvious) ADHD. But you probably don't know the extent of it as i try not to talk about it much. So getting Nyla was to also help me as I'm not going very well. Nyla is amazing, i had no idea that Dachshunds we're so clingy & that they choose 1 person & bond intensively to them, i didn't realise i had chosen the perfect dog to create another soul dog bond.
She is my baby now, even tho the decision was rushed, she has been the best decision I've made in years!
Do you have a soul dashie? Drop your pics below, I'd
love to see them 🩷💜
