    Obsessive Licking

    Well I tried putting hot sauce on his fir and it has been quite effective. Only issue is he smells like a buffalo wing and it makes me hungry. [emoji6]

    Obsessive Licking

    We haven't had any snow yet so I don't think it is salt from the road and this was going on in the summer. I think I will try the hot sauce on his fir in the areas he lucks to see what that does. It's tough to get a lot of outdoor time this time of year but I have a large fenced in yard and...

    Obsessive Licking

    Our 4 year old doxie has been developing a continuely more obsessive licking habit. If left unchecked he will start slurping and and get wherever he is laying soaking wet. The licking is concentrated to his genitals, butt and tail. I have had the vet check him twice now and he has no skin or...

    Introducing Ollie

    When we adopted Oscar the rescue group had named him Gunner. That just didn't fit and I could resist Oscar Meyer the Wiener Dog. The rescue had given Ollie the name and it just fit him perfectly so we are keeping it. We call him Ollie Wally. The rescue had named our terrier Frazer so Frazer...

    Retractable Leash?

    If you shop around they make them that are a flat nylon strap instead of the cord that will give you rope burn on bare legs. I have them but seldom use them just because if you relax at all the dog can pull them from your hand. I prefer something with a loop I can put hand through. If I am...

    Introducing Ollie

    A couple of months back I posted that we had lost our Doxie Oscar to cancer. My wife and I thought we would wait awhile before getting another dog but I was missing Oscar big time and our terrier mix was getting real needy without his buddy so we decided to adopt another Dachshund. We found a...

    Oscar Meyer the Wiener Dog - RIP

    We lost our Oscar to cancer on Monday. His health had deteriorated to the point that we put him to sleep so that he wouldn't suffer any longer. In July he started being fussy about his food so we tried something new. He hoovered the new food down like always but would through it up with in an...

    What do dog breeders mean when they talk about prey drive?

    Well we have a terrier dachshund mix that is totally indifferent to the squirrels and rabbits that frequent our yard. He just sits back and watches Oscar and LT go nuts trying to catch them.

    What do dog breeders mean when they talk about prey drive?

    Our Oscar has caught and killed both squirrels and rabbits in the backyard. It's amazing how fast he can move when there is prey on the ground. He couldn't care less about anything in the trees where as our Italian Greyhound was always barking at anything in the trees.

    Need Help! Potty/Behavior Problems

    If Oscar takes care if business when he goes out first thing in the morning he is good for the day. BUT, he is more interested in checking out every blade of grass in the yard and quite often doesn't (even when he's been out for 45 minutes or more). Those days he won't make it until I get home...

    Diving dachshund finds his sea legs

    I can't imagine dog wanting to scuba but my Oscar can't get enough of the water. He goes Kayaking with me and I have a hard time keeping him in the boat. He has a life jacket with a suit case handle on the back so I indulge his water lust by putting him in the water and holding the handle. He's...

    Back Issues

    Our Oscar was out in the backyard for a couple of hours last week and when I brought him in he was very lethargic. I figured he had eaten something he shouldn't have but he didn't perk up. My wife took him to the vet on Friday and it turns out he injured his back. The vet has him on rimadlyn...

    Blue Buffalo and Wellness are another two top rated foods. My dogs like both brands and they both do well on the sensitive stomach formulas.

    Color/pattern shift?

    Until I got Oscar I only thought Doxies came in black & tan or brown and were all smooth hair. Even four years later I have never seen any other colors other than in pictures. I have seen long hair in the mentioned colors but have never seen a wire hair at all. At least in my part of the...
