Dachshund Parade

I heard that there is a Dachshund Parade twice a year in Washington Square in NYC, one in April and one in October, from this dachshund lover when I was out with Maia. One just happened this weekend and we were so there with Maia. I guess we didn’t get there early so by that time we got there, lots of them went home or something, but there were still many dachshunds in the park! It was so funny. Maia had a blast, of course, and we had fun, too! We were inspired by a couple of dachshunds in Hays Valley where we used to live and that’s why we got one, but we had no idea how many of them are in NYC and how much people love them. Enjoy the pictures!

Maia and Billie

Maia met her new friend, Billie the Pug this weekend. Billie’s mom, Mia and I have been working together and she’s been telling me about the Prospect Park – we took a walk in the other side of the park before, but it is a huge park and we entered from 3 blocks away from our apartment this time.

Billie and Maia:

And there is a dog beach here. Maia wasn’t interested in the water so much…

2 Months Later…

It has been 2 months since Maia came. She is growing so much and she is changing so much, it is so visible! What a fun 2 months, it was hard at first, but she is just so sweet and brings us such a joy!

She eats very well:

She doesn’t say much, but she shows a lot of expressions – so cute andfunny.

Her baby tooth! It fell from her mouth right in front of me and I was a bit freaked out, but it’s normal. She’s been getting new teeth!

(Saw 2 more teeth fell after this!)

One of her favorite things to do; going out with me in the bag! She gets so excited when I show her the bag now.
