Sam’s the name, Sam Diamond Lamb in full, but you can call me Sam.
It’s shorter, easier, and believe me I’m gonna be short enough for all of us. As you can see I’m a puppy, more precisely I’m a silver dapple miniature dachshund of the long hair variety. I even have the papers to prove it, – well I will have once the Kennel Club get round to sending them back. Right now I’m not with my human, I’m still at home with my Mum. The human came and picked me from my litter yesterday. There are three of us, two dogs and one bitch. The other pair are chocolate dapples, so I’m a little bit special.
Anyway things you need to know are that I currently live in Derby. I’m going to live in the Capital of Culture, Liverpool. Dunno if I’ll pick up a scouse accent as I grow up, but it’ll be fun finding out. I might not pick up the accent, because while my human Callum was born a scouser, the other two are from Glasgow and Wallingford. There is a connection with Derby though, the dog human’s Grandfather used to live in that part of the world. My birthday is 10th May, because that was when I was whelped. So I’m currently 7 weeks and 1 day old. When the human’s come to pick me up I’ll be exactly 8 weeks old. Anyway that makes me a Taurus according to Wikipedia and makes me
‘resourceful, thorough, dependable, responsible, loyal, patient, placid, stable, sensual, affectionate, comfortable, solid, earthy, strong, money-oriented, practical, productive, cautious, musical, and artistic. They can also sometimes be stubborn, indulgent, insecure, acquisitive, possessive, rigid, stodgy and slow.’
So that’s me so far. 7 more sleeps ’til I leave home and join the new family. Not certain how I feel about that. Just to finish off on a positive note, I’m already teaching my human’s things, like how to spell miniature and dachshund!
