Curious, lively, charming, and brave, Dachshunds are similar to terriers in their demands to be in on everything.
The comical clowns love to play games and have a great sense of humor. They are loyal little dogs, very attached to their family, and they firmly believe that sleeping under the bedcovers is in the Dachshund Bill of Rights.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Dachshunds are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Doxie owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Wiener dog owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Dachshund Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

I lost my Molly almost 3 yrs ago now at 13 and my Chopper before her at 17, and I miss them both every single day! I have not replaced my Molly girl cause I just don’t think I will find another to take her place! She was my best friend as I am alone, and I talked to her just like a person! Dachshunds are the smartest most lovable loyal dogs ever and I wouldn’t have anything but one if I ever get another it will be a doxie!

Don’t hope for that because you never know what or who will end up with your dog and that could be so very sad for your dog.

I have 5…..and to think of me dying before them makes me very sad because they may wind up separated and in homes not as accommodating as here. That scares me more than anything.
