Happy Anniversary Ralphie, You Stubborn Little Ass

Seven years ago, Kelly and I adopted Ralphie, a dachshund with a really good temperament…for a dachshund. What that basically means is, Ralphie is very stubborn, doesn’t like to be trained, leaves “presents” when he is dismayed with us, thinks nothing of stepping on other dogs to get to his favorite spot on the couch, steals toys from the lil’est dog, O-Ren, and other stubborn like behavior. This is what he looked like when we adopted him (well, five months later):

and now…

Hard to believe it’s been seven years, but its’ been a pretty good seven years with the little ass.
