Cooper still seems so tiny. Vince says it’s because we’re used to Oscar’s size and, really, two weeks isn’t a long time. Vince said he thinks his nose is growing. I remember when we got Speck and I kept thinking . . I don’t think he’s a full dachshund because he had a stubby little nose but it grew into a dachshund snout. Same with Oscar. I kept thinking . . where’s that long nose and it happened. Last night Vince kept saying “Look at his nose! It’s growing.” I was laughing thinking about Pinocchio, thinking we could sit and watch it grow.
The one thing I do notice is that the end of his snout is turning white.

In his baby pictures, the end part of his snout was very white and that tiny little blaze was much wider.

Seeing that picture again, I can definitely see that he’s grown and the snout is starting to look more like a dachshund.

The snout was what I kept looking for. He sure is pretty. But, oh, my, his paws still look like he’s going to be a big dog!

I know. I saw his mom and dad but I’ll still be glad when I see what size he’s going to be.

In the second picture, the white part of his snout looks like an electric guitar. Are you sure you didn’t get a rock & roll dachshund?

I got a very energetic little guy but I’m not sure about the rock & roll part. It does look like a guitar, doesn’t it?
