So, I've told y'all about my feline boys Darrel and his brother Darrel. Now I have to tell you about my main man. This is Chopper. He is half pug and half dachshund.
I got him from a coworker at my old job. Her sister was a backyard breeder, and she had pugs and dachshunds. She had an accidental cross-breeding, and my little boy was the result.
He is 13 years old now. He's an ornery little cuss. Hate's the people who deliver mail and packages. He's super stubborn, hard to train. He obeys me now, but he takes his time. He loves me though, has severe separation anxiety. He howls in despair when I leave him, and searches for a way out so he can come and look for me.

I love his face. He has that 'I dare you look' with his mouth. He sounds like a wonderful dog.

Yes, I've always thought his face was so expressive. He has his issues, but don't we all? I love him very much.

He looks a tough old codger. Dogs are so faithful though aren't they despite their failings.

@norcal He certainly doesn't look very big although he also looks pretty solid.

He thinks he's pretty tough. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but he only weighs about 14 pounds.

Chopper looks adorable
My last dog also suffered from anxiety every time we leave house.

I guess it is a common affliction among canines

How cute and 13, he is a senior citizen! Aww, he doesn't like being alone away from you.

He certainly does not. It makes it hard for me to go away, as he will search for a way to escape.

Yes, his features are a little off beat, but he makes it work.

Hello there Chopper. Very nice to meet you. I heard dogs do not like the mailman at all. I wonder what that is about. Does he find you when he looks for you?
