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 best friend when she was only 9 1/2 years old. Someone wrote that if dogs don’t go to Heaven, then I want to go where they do go.

Danielle Kral how’s Max doing. Sebastian got mad because I woke him up in the morning to pee, and so he decided to stretch 9 billion times and move as slow as he possibility could.

He is battling urinary tract infections. 🙁 there isn’t anything they can do to prevent the infections so now will be on a low dose antibiotic. We also have to express his bladder as much as possible. Maxx tends to wake me up haha…but I also work 2nd shift.

We are on our 4th fur baby, and our 3rd, Chippy passed this March 5th at the age of 17. I can not tell you how much we miss him. He was the most loyal dog any family could ever wish for. We are left with Bella, a silver dapple dachshund. They leave such a huge imprint in your heart. It’s hard to explain how much one can love such a defenseless creature, but only those of us who own them really and truly know the love they give in return. It just doesn’t get any easier parting with them.
