Hallson Gardens

Here's my boy, showing Willie and Annabelle that he can sit pretty too.
He will do this forever if you have something in your hand that he thinks he might like
We have discovered already that pizza and popcorn are two things he will wait for.
He never makes any noise, or moves any closer, just pops up and sits there quietly.
His previous family fed him scraps from the table all the time, so it's a wonder he
isnt' really obnoxious about this.
Sometimes he sits there waiting so long he starts to fall asleep.

OMG!! He is adorable Linda!!! I love him.....I will say, I love that he sits forever......just forget about giving him pizza..... .... .....Bless his heart!! So glad you posted this.....I think Willie will never be like Anabelle at sitting pretty.....he falls over if your not quick....but the pup is like Zeke.......but for him to sit there till her starts falling asleep.....

Thanks for sharing Linda!! Made me smile!! along with me finding my Hallson address book!...

Looks like he's standing at attention! Can he salute, too?

He sure was a great find!

Jane, his little legs are too short to be able to saltue. He'd
hit himself in the chin. He can shake, though, and sometimes he puts one paw up while he's waiting.
I'm trying to teach him to dance, but not much luck so far.
Don't worry, Lucy...no pizza for the pup.

Thanks, Lisa! I've already had many hours of joy with this pup. It's great to have him around.
You're right about those ears...and fortunately, he does'nt mind having his ears petted!
They are like velvet.
I can belive that a dachshund would be good at agility. This litte dude is really fast, and he can disappear
in a flash. I expect I'll find him rummaging around under the hostas a lot next summer!

Eeek on your hostas! These guys dig!

He's very cute though.

He's cute! My girls would like to play with him. lol!

OMG that is just sooooo cute!!!

Zeke is very handsome! I love the pose in the pic.

Yep, Spider. I know they dig. It was the only reason I could come up with not to take him, but so far, he's shown no sign of wanting to dig in the ground.
He loves to bury his toys in an old blanket and then shake the blanket til they fall out. Maybe if I take the blanket outside when we go out in warmer weather he'll think that's good enough.
So far, he's not interested at all in playing outside, even when before the cold spell came along. I think he's been an indoor dog all his life.
We'll just have to see what happens in the spring. I used to have an elkhound/collie mix who would dig huge holes making a cool spot to lay in. She never did dig up any plants. My Sheltie would walk all around the hosta beds, only occasionally going in them. I have a feeling that Zeke may do some damage going after voles, but I'd be willing to make that trade-off!
