Courageous Pup!!

Or, maybe a Crazy Pup!!

This video is a little Pup-pup that sees a dolphin in the distance
and
jumps off the Kayak to swim after the dolphin.

I'm not sure if my little Gus would jump.... or be scared.

Actually, he probably wouldn't jump - he is not fond of water!!

He would probably be crying at my feet to get up into my lap 
instead of on the end of the boat!

This is not a doxie
But, it was just too cute!!!

I Think Gus Would "Eat Crow"!

Dachshund "attacked" by a crow!
This is such a funny video:
I really can't believe how patient this doxie is.
My Gus wouldn't even let the bird get that close to him

Razor Is A Hero!

A dachshund named Razor is being called a hero after his actions saved his friend, a St Bernard named Jazzy, who was stuck in two feet of mud in Belen, New Mexico last week.
According to reports, Jazzy escaped an enclosure last week and ended up getting stuck in the mud. That’s when Razor tried to alert their owner to his friend’s sticky situation.
Tim Chavez told KRQE when he saw Razor that morning the little dog was acting strangely.
“I went to feed him, and he was kind of going crazy, trying to get my attention,” Mr Chavez said.
After his owner left for work Razor became more desperate. Eventually, the dachshund was able to get the attention of a neighbor and led him across a field to where Jazzy was stuck in a muddy ditch.

Fire fighters and police were alerted and they were able to pull Jazzy from the mud.
It seems like Little Razor was a 21st Century "Lassie"

Hello!!!

I'm not a huge fan of popular music.  I'm all about the lyrics - and generally they don't seem to do much for me.

Well... if you are alive in America, you know Adele.  (I'm sure all of you even knew about her WAY before I did!)

Well, I just found out she has a DACHSHUND!!! 

So, she will be my first re-introductory post for this blog.  It has been my desire for quite some time to do a blog of "all things dachshund".


Here is Louis Armstrong - if you want to see him in "action"
(if you want to go to 1.06 - that's where Louis shows up)

disclaimer: I don't know what is else is said on this video - just watched the doxie part!


I'm an Adele Fan!!!

Meet the Tatra Hound!

A new breed of dog had its first litter of puppies.

The Tatra Hound (also called Tatras Hound), a mix of Dachshund and Slovak Hound, has been in the breeding stages for two years. Breeders believe they have finally reached perfection.

The mother to the short-legged, long-bodied animal gave birth to her first litter this week.

The black and brown puppies are bred for hunting and intelligence.

They grow to a height of about 16 inches, but are longer in the torso.
 

What is a Slovak Hound, you ask?
(same questions I had!)
(Slovak Hound)
It appears that the Tatra Hound is just a "short-leg" version of this dog.
Whatever the case...
Cute, cute, puppies!!!

Obie

Obie's Journey

I'm sure you've heard about Obie, the overweight dachshund.
 He is a 7 year old standard dachshund. He was on a special diet to lose the weight and get back to being a happy dog.
He was rescued  in 2012 after reaching a whopping 77 pounds
 In a short time he lost the weight - but not the "over-stretched" skin.
In 2013 he had to have surgery to lose the extra skin
Now, 50 pounds lighter, he is a healthy, happy, 7 year old dachshund!!

Here are some "Obie Sites":
