I’ve been properly shamed into sharing updated pics of Ollie. > [@(Old, thankfully.) Just call it pee-pee ‘cause it’s all your’n MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-thankfully-just-call-it-pee-pee-cause-it-s-all-your-n-mmp/990294/64): > > Hey, as long as I have your attention, I have a complaint. You have a new puppy and have only shared ONE picture of the lil cutie pie. His adoring fans deserve more! > [@(Old, thankfully.)

Plus we do want to see more pics, or blurs, whichever you can manage. Fair dinkum, as my late Down Under husband used to say. Rather than clutter their fine MMP thread, I’ll post the updated pics here instead. The following are Ollie at 18 weeks. For those who may be curious as to why it took so long, first is a good representation of the sort of Ollie pics I’m getting these days: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53203982619_4bbe566de9_b.jpg "Ollie 3") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/194984876@N07/53203982619/in/dateposted-public/) If you want a more complete account of the reason for the delay, you can read it here: > [@(Old, thankfully.)

I thought I took care of that this morning… \< wanders back into the Fog of Brain… \> woman_facepalming It’s because I only have the ones I already posted! Ollie is busy. Busy and practically a full-time job. I look around and realize my entire life has been overtaken by 7 pounds of stomach surrounded by boundless exuberance. And teeth!! From the new (so far not very successful) grooming arm now attached to my breakfast bar to the badly chewed hem of the t-sh… With that understanding, here are the remaining best recent pics I’ve managed to get of Ollie: The favored duck.

I finally got those under control yesterday and have the wounds to prove it. Not really. He was trussed up like a chicken.)

Right? _RIGHT_? @carrps, I apologize for failing to respond to your most recent post. It’s really good of you to take on older rescues. True for @dogbutler, too. They can have a lot of bad habits built in, which was the main reason I chose to raise Ollie from a pup. I’ve taken a lot of rescue animals over my lifetime and loved them just as well as my 3 purebreds. As we all know, ‘purebred’ sure doesn’t translate to ‘better dog’!! Doubly true in Ollie’s case. I think Ollie might be my just deserts. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-national-dachshund-day/985902)._
