I grew up with a dachshund named Daisy that lived to be 15 years old before having a stroke and had to be put to sleep.
Dachshunds are a very loving dog and very personable. BUT they can be very stubborn. That is their only drawback. I have talked with other dachshund owners that agree with me on that point but like us they cannot have just one. Two or more is usually the way of ownership of dachshunds. Punkin and Hottdogg are housebroken to walk on a leash and do their business outside. We made the mistake of pee pad training Noodles when she was the only dog on the truck and now changing her to do otherwise has proved to be most difficult.
Punkin when coaxed a little will sing and talk to us. Back when we had a young man taking care of our home and animals for us while we were on the road, was sitting in the living room and Punkin came up to me and volunteered to start singing and talking to me. But she would sing and talk, turn and look at him, look back at me and sing and talk somemore. I don,t to this day know what she was trying to tell me, but his face turned red and I asked him if there was anything he needed to tell me as she was trying her darnedest to tell on him. We later did have to send him packing as he was not taking care of our home and animals as we needed. Following are some pictures of our cohorts. Hope you like them.
Punkin is on the left.
Hottdogg is on the right.
This is Noodles.
Noodles is the most playful. She always wants to play fetch or tug of war. She is also a daddy's girl. She has to know where her daddy is at all times or she is whining and looking out the window to find him. Then when she sees him it is a most joyful jig that she performs. Her body will swing into and form a complete circle with her tail hitting her in the face. They are the joy of our lives. Life in the truck would be most boring if they were not in it.
