Puppy!!!!

I'm getting a puppy for my birthday!! Yesterday I was talking to my mom and mentioned that the week after my birthday I was going to the beach to a friend's concert. My mom said that she did want to ruin my birthday surprise.... BUT she got me a 5&1/2 week old mini dachshund (possibly half schnauzer or long haired dachshund), and wanted to make sure that bringing him to me for my birthday would be alright, since I was going on a trip. So I called the hotel and swapped our reservation to a pet-friendly room. My mom says he is super-tiny, so I'm interested in seeing how Jody and Susie are going to react. I don't think Susie will care (I doubt she's going to be afraid of a dog that's a 1/3 her size. I just gotta make sure that Jody isn't too rough with him. My mom has continued the "tradition" and named him "Buddy", (my brother's girlfriend's dachshund is named "Miller" - just think about the connection there). I think Buddy is a cute and simple name (and goes well with me and M's "tradition" of having animal names that end with the "ee" sound). The only bad part about my mom ruining the surprise is that now I have to wait until Tuesday to meet my puppy!
