The new pup

We have a new addition to the Daphne Diaries family! Otto, a miniature silver dapple Dachshund.

Otto is 12 weeks old and his mother is Una, Jane's sister Angie's dog. Una had 3 pups and Otto is the eldest. Ivan and Jane have had Otto for 2 weeks and he has settled into van life really well.

As some of you know we planned this adventure with our other dog Storm in mind. He passed away before we left and so could not be part of our new journey. After 10 months without a dog we were ready to open our hearts again. We just could not resist Otto. He is probably the perfect dog for our new lifestyle, small, chilled, cuddly, tiny and can adapt easily.

Various photos of Otto. 

Until Otto has had his vaccinations we are careful and have been carrying him around in the red bag above! So far he has travelled in Daphne the motorhome, cars, on Jane's motorcycle around a field (although he was sick afterwards!) and on a push bike. He seems to love all vehicles so is fitting in well for a travelling dog. We are looking forward to lots of adventures with Otto and sharing them with you. We know we can give Otto the best life and it's a huge privilege being there every day to watch our new pup grow into a dog. 

Lots of adventures to come with the Daphne Diaries, Ivan, Jane and now Otto so watch this space #tinyhome#tinydog 🐾🐾🐕
