Hi, everything is going great. We took her to her first Vet visit. The Vet said she was in great shape. Health and great temperament. We've been lucky so far, not the normal dachshund whining or barking. The potty training is going pretty well. She sleeps really good at night, just getting up once and going right back to sleep. We couldn't be happier with Margo. Great with the grandkids.
