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:

Mary Beck Chapman, thank you. As painful as this loss is, there is a silver lining.
I had over 13 years with Oscar. I has 13 years of pure love and his unbridled joy.
I’m really lucky to have had him for the years I did.

My sweet girl moments before she passed the weekend of Thanksgiving. I held as much as I could that morning. When she passed away, my husband and I held her paws.

Rhonda… our little Diesel went down with IVDD but made a full recovery after 6 weeks crate rest. 2 vets advised us to have him put to sleep but were so glad we didn’t listen to them and went to see a specialist as its now 2 years later and he is happier and healthier than ever. Please try not to lose hope. Google a site called Dodger’s List. It has so much great advice for IVDD ❤

We have an Oscar too that looks just like yours looked. I am sorry for your loss. 13 years is a long time. He was just as lucky for you, as you were for him.
