I had not really heard that they are "dangerous." But I do know that some can get a reputation for being "mean" when older or if not socialized. I think "Loyal" is part of the bad rap. My dachsies will bark at people and other dogs when we go for walks. They are a lot better after a lot of...

And then you'll have to find a house with the street address of 3321. :rolleyes:

She looks fantastic!

And then there are those that say we need to add other dogs into the purebred breeds. If we are going to have healthier dogs, we need to broaden the gene pool.

Very sweet. Enjoy!

Since PD's problem with pancreatitis, we've had to find something besides peanut butter. I like the snap peas idea. Right now, we are using bananas. PD has really become a difficult dog to diagnose, since he now has both stomach and back issues. It is just tough to know what needs to be...

sounds like he's been talking to his doxie friends, and has learned that a lot of his friends get to sleep in bed with their parents ... :D

And then none of your friends believe you. I was lucky to catch as much as I did. It is really strange how they just start out of the blue, and then stop just as suddenly. PD and Henry used to chase each other in the backyard when they were Frank's age. Because there were two of them, I...

Ours have anyone they want. :) We sit down to watch TV and they crawl in our laps. Then they start "digging" on our laps, which is their signal that it is time to put the covers over them. We keep throws nearby just for that reason. Our dachshunds sleep with us, and can usually be found...

I'm so sorry. PD had pancreatitis. His symptoms started July 4, and his vet was closed. We thought it was his back, we had lost Henry to back problems just months before. We took him to the nearest vet hospital, and they treated him for a bad back. We had to leave town, and took him...

Amazing! :) :)

I think it was Jax Mom that introduced me to the term "Zoomies." I felt that is the perfect term for Frank's little runs that he does most evenings. I finally caught the end of one this evening. Hopefully, now I'll get it posted here: If it doesn't work, I'll try again later on a "real...

Thanks for the rescue!

Not medicated. Not sure if he is allergic to anything in it, but that is a possibility. He's been having allergic response to something the last couple of week. Looking a cattle feed in general, it looks like they all have some variety of minerals and vitamins added to them. No hormones...

we went to see my son's property and his 3 beef cows last weekend. PD took the opportunity to explore new things to eat, including cow pies and cattle feed. I doubt the cow pies were harmful, but I'm wondering about the cattle feed. My son says the pellets are mostly alphalpha and...

I'd rather have stink-holes (skunks) than sink-holes. Stay safe!

Thank you. Henry (RIP) got sprayed twice in our back yard. We have a doggie door that the dogs make good use of. The first time it happened we heard barking, then a yelp. I was standing in the kitchen when a black streak flashed accross the floor. He was already in the den rolling...

Success, I think. We caught our 6th skunk last night. I don't think we have any more. As a bonus, I caught a large fat raccoon, too. And to think we live in the heart of town, just blocks away from the Main Street on one side of us, and two blocks away from city hall on the other. Any...

Thank you. The house was built in 1919 or 1920. The builder used lumber salvaged from buildings destroyed by the 1919 hurricane. The walls are wood planks under the sheetrock. I've bent nails trying to hang pictures on the wall. We've got some mixed feelings about moving out.

Really? Why? We crate trained PD early on, but have left that training far behind. He sleeps with us now, and I've often felt a little guilty about not keeping up with the crate training. On the other hand, I've known people that only let their dog out of the crate for a few hours a day...
