Has anyone heard from Mack????

[Teresa]

I know it's almost time for the new little one to arrive. Just wondering how the parents-to-be are holding up.

[Dachsmack]

Thanks for thinking of us. Melanie and I have been a little busy. Lily Summer Rose was born June 22 at 3:41 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale. She weighed 7.1 pounds. This is a wonderful new experience for us. The furkids are very curious but we are introducing everyone slowly. Hope you don't mind that I add a non-doxie picture here.  Of course, we have lots more pictures, but with my new software on Windows Vista, I can't figure out how to easily resize them to fit the format of this site.

Oh Mack, she is BEAUTIFUL!!!  I love her name!  Congratulations to you and Melanie!!!  WOW!
Please post more pictures when you can.  I would love to see them.

[Brekkesmom]

She is a very beautiful baby!  I am sure she has plenty of four-legged sibs who will keep ears and eyes open for the new kid in the house!  Since she is a dachsie child now, she belongs here!  Congratulations to you and Melanie, and a big welcome to Lily!

[TerriL]

Awwwww!  What a precious baby girl.  Congratulations!

[Teresa]

Mack, I'm not exaggerating when I say I haven't seen a newborn or 1 week old that beautiful in a long, long time. She even looks like a baby girl, whether she has pink on or not. You and Melanie are so blessed. Is Melanie recovering well? Is anyone getting any sleep?

[Leslie]

Mack, I'm not exaggerating when I say I haven't seen a newborn or 1 week old that beautiful in a long, long time. 

It's true!  I have never seen a more beautiful baby girl. (and man, I have seen some homely lizard-y ones)  May she have a long and healthy life.  I know she will be well loved, that's for sure.

I like the picture of you holding the baby--ya got that stunned, amazed, OMGnewdad look fer sure.

Best wishes and now, all three of get back to your nap!

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

A big congratulations to you both Mack! Love the one with the doxies. I agree, she is a very beautiful baby girl!!! I just love her name.

and man, I have seen some homely lizard-y ones

Les, you do make me laugh! That one is going to keep me going all day LOL!! (I think this goes under the heading of "things you want to say but don't dare to out loud")

[Barb]

She is just flat gorgeous !!!!  Hope Melanie is getting some rest.  Is her mom there to help out?  Love the one with the "mothering" doxies !

[Doxherding Karen]

Remember, Melanie, the more you rest and pamper yourself, the quicker you get back to your old energy level.

And whenever your baby is sleeping . . .TAKE A NAP!

Lily is just beautiful!  And the doxies look like they're ready for some serious smooching!  You smooch them, they smooch her, she throws up on you. . . isn't life grand?

Hey Mack, where did you find your shirt???

[Dianne]

The furkids have a new playmate!  Just wait and see the mischief they can get into now!

They will learn to feed from "the altar of food"
She will learn to eat dog food from the dish
They will curl up together in the most unlikely places (keep the camera handy)

And, the house will be filled with more fun and joy!

Congratulations to all!   

[David C.]

Congratulations Mack and Melanie!   Lily is simply beautiful.   That's great that the furkids have taken to her so naturally.   When Jessica was born we were concerned how our boys would take to her, but Rudy-angel became Jessica's protector and favorite toy at the same time.   He would let Jessica do things to him that no one else (except for me), could ever get away with. 

[Kari]

She is so cute!! I'm glad your puppers are adjusting!
