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 said goodbye to my sweet Maggie on April 3rd. I had read this at some point before that time so I made sure that I talked to her as she drifted away. I miss her so much.

Just took my little Molly to the hospital. IVDD exacerbation. Been crying all evening. The sad eyes when I had to leave her there, just rip my heart open. Please pray for my girl.

I had to go through the agony of #20 just this Saturday morning. My Oscar was 13, and he passed unexpectedly at the vet’s office.
I held his little head and saw his eyes as he passed. I could see him go. I made sure that the last thing Oscar saw was me.
