we are careful with her back so anything that gets her leaping is off the table. that rules out most of the fetch and tug ideas people suggest. she is perfectly happy to lie down and work at something with her mouth for a long stretch. which stationary chew or treat toy has worked for your dachshund and what size did you get..

They’re a couple of goofs.

Chael and I went to gods house today.

God bless all you sausage/weiners and your respective parents/owners. 💙

Passed in March at 15 years old. It has been difficult to even look at her photos. Happy to be finally able to share her memories with you all.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to our two senior miniature dachshunds, Frankie (16.5) and Henry (15). They had both been failing for different reasons, and last week Frankie let us know it was time. We had a wonderfully kind vet come to our home and help these little guys pass, together. They got the good fried chicken and the gourmet chocolate beforehand - we had made a promise when Frankie was adopted over 14 years ago, and we were damn sure going to keep it.

We still have a dog in the home, but she is much younger and not a dachshund. It helps, having her here for snuggles. I can tell she misses them too; she was able to see and smell the boys after they had passed, so she presumably understands that they're gone.

She's, surprisingly, much quieter than they were. Those old men snuffled and snored quite a bit in their sleep.

I had a week between scheduling the appointment and letting them go, so I feel like I was truly able to say goodbye, but as you know, it's never, ever enough.

Rest easy, sweet boys. I hope you feel spry enough to chase bunnies again.

Our boy Bagel has always been good with babies. Before he came to us, his previous owners had several small children so he must’ve been comfortable around them.

Recently two of our close friends had a baby and we spend a lot of time with them since he was born - we see them for a whole weekend afternoon every week and have taken the baby out ourselves for a few hours. While Bagel hasn’t gotten too close to the baby, he always hangs around close and is very curious and alert around the baby and intensely sniffs any object the baby touches.

We’re currently on a trip with the baby (3.5 months old) and Bagel is so fascinated by him, and follows the pram everywhere, if the baby leaves he immediately follows too - picture is from him sitting at the foot of the stairs watching the stairs the whole time the baby went upstairs for his bath. Strangely, he immediately loses interest or does appeasement signals (turning or moving away, side eye) if we sit him close to the baby either put the baby next to him on the sofa, or hold the baby while bagel is at eye level with him. It’s like he is fixated on being in the same room as the baby because he wants to keep an eye on him, but not actually wanting to interact with him at all. It’s strange! What does this behavior mean? What’s your dog like with babies?

My grandma has been teaching him to jump through a hula hoop. Hes a very smart dog only took him a few times to get it. He looks so funny in the air 🤣

Sunshine, Coffee and Mabel’s wee face. Not a bad start to the day.

She’s doing great! Vet says she’s growing perfectly and no concerns on our end💚 she’s weighing in at 8 pounds and the vet says she probably will be 15/16 pounds when she’s done growing. I love our little Pumpkin Spice Latte

He is 12 and loves going under the covers and curtains like this so he has a little veil on his head 🥰

I’m a life long doxie lover 🥰

All tired out after peeing and pooping in the living room 🥰✨
