Small Dog Beds are for Dachshunds

Small Dog Beds are for Dachshunds

04 January 2010

If this is a true statement – “Small Dog Beds are for Dachshunds” – why do our dogs chose to sleep in the largest bed in the house?  It’s because, it their bed and not our bed. So, this year, we’re planning to “wiener” our Dachshunds from our King sized bed into their own individual [...]

What is the Best Vacuum for Pet Hair?

What is the Best Vacuum for Pet Hair?

30 November 2009

An avid Three Dachshund’s reader commented on how nice our off-white carpets look and wondered how we keep our carpets clean and what the best vacuum for Dachshund hair is.  First off, vacuuming your carpet can become a taxing chore especially when you have three Dachshunds that shed and have a tendency track in outside [...]

Q: Why Do Dachshunds Shiver?

Q: Why Do Dachshunds Shiver?

27 November 2009

We receive an email from a reader with a Dachshund that shivers: Is it normal for a dashund to shiver? Not only when it is cold outside but when he’s on your lap.  I heard it’s a sign of back problems. Thank you in advance. Thanks for the question! First off, I’m not a Vet, and if [...]

Dachshund Figurines

Dachshund Figurines

19 November 2009

We added “Roxie Doxie” to our Dachshund Figurine collection last weekend during our shopping spree the little Danish tourist town of Solvang.  Solvang is about the only place where you can shop and find glass and porcelain dog figurines of all sorts of breeds. Of course, we are biased towards the Dachshund since we have three [...]

Dachshund Christmas Cards

Dachshund Christmas Cards

08 October 2009

It’s a few months to Christmas, and I’ve decided that we’re going to send out Dachshund Christmas Cards.   Doesn’t this sound like a great idea? It’s really simple; just group your three Dachshunds together, take a family picture of the puppies, upload the photo and order the cards. Simple. About as simple as herding cats. Chloe likes to [...]

Dachshund Dryer Sheet Butt Plugs

Dachshund Dryer Sheet Butt Plugs

07 October 2009

Molly likes to eat dryer sheets.  I usually find out about it that day when she barfs it up or a few days later when she poops it out. Last night, she had the remaining evidence hanging from the corner of her mouth stuck by a thread between her teeth.  Now I would like to teach [...]

I’m a Pooper Scooper

I’m a Pooper Scooper

12 September 2009

It was difficult to bend over today with my sore back and I wish I had a pooper scooper to pick up Odie’s poop.  But alas, no such luck and I had to resort to going down on one knee to scoop up the mess.  It was fresh an warm — if you wanted to [...]

Dachshunds Like Their Dog Balls

Dachshunds Like Their Dog Balls

30 August 2009

It seems that our Dachshunds go through a lot of dog balls.  Perhaps it the constant chewing on the yummy plastic or latex that makes them only last a few days, but the real culprit is Molly.  She simply destroys the ball trying to get that little squeaker out. I always bought a pair of dog [...]

A Dog Seat Belt Just May Save Your Pet’s Life

21 August 2009

You never know what’s going to happen when you’re minding your business and all of a sudden you’re broadsided by a SUV and its rear bumper is crunching down on the top of your hood.  Miss June bug was lucky she was not hurt — other than her cute Lexus IS Station Wagon — but [...]

Chloe is taking Deramaxx

06 April 2009

Chloe is doing much better after taking her 1/2 dosage of Deramaxx 25mg. Last night I gave her the same dosage of Deramaxx after she twisted her back trying to jump onto the couch. According to Chloe’s Vet, Dr. T., Deramaxx is a non-steroid anti-inflammatory pain medication which reduces the swelling and pain.  Since Dachshunds are [...]

Chole Turned 10 Which is Young for a Dachshund

06 April 2009

Yesterday we celebrated Chloe’s 10th birthday.  Despite the grey showing around her muzzle, she is still young for a dachshund. She started off the day by trying to onto the couch only to bounce backwards twisting her back and hitting her head on the coffee table. She was well enough to go to PetSmart to get a [...]

Odie’s Sweater Kept Him Warm This Morning

05 March 2009

It was unusually chilly this morning in Thousand Oaks when we went out for a walk.  Odie knows that it’s time for the morning walk when I grab a poop bag from the kitchen instead of a coffee refill. We headed outside and immediately returned for the warmth of the house.  We were both shivering and [...]

Pumpkin and Chicken Dachshund Food Recipe

Pumpkin and Chicken Dachshund Food Recipe

20 February 2009

We switched our dachshunds over to a new homemade pumpkin and chicken dog food recipe. Chloe – who is very finicky – just loves it. The main reason we switched to this diet is to bulk up Odie’s poops so it will help him express his anal glands naturally. It’s very simple to make.  I just pick [...]

Odie is So Anal Gland: He Needs More Fiber

29 January 2009

Odie was back at Midtown Veterinary Clinic last Saturday.  He had problem walking so with my over protective imagination, I thought he injured his back again.   His symptom was that he would walk a few feet then sit, walk a few more feet then sit. We went for the “ride” to the Vet and he seemed [...]

Greg Lenoir Saves His Dog From Shark Attack

02 October 2008

This is sorta off Dachshund topic, but it brings back some nightmares I had while we were considering relocating to Florida a few years back.  I had an insane fear of one of my Dachshunds being eaten by an alligator. This nightmare came true for Greg Lenoir who saved his Rat Terrier from a shark attack.  [...]

Our Dachshunds Need A Bigger Bed

17 July 2008

Our sleep was interrupted this morning with a loud “clunk.”  Usually that means that I feel asleep watching TV and the remote slipped off the bed and hit the wood part of the sleigh bed. Last night we weren’t watching TV and the remote was safely on top of the night stand, so what hit the [...]

Doxies Like the Newbury Park PetSmart

22 June 2008

It was too hot to take the Doxies for a ride yesterday so we missed the Grand Opening event at the Newbury Park PetSmart.  But we managed to get over there to check out the dog mega store the next day. The new PetSmart store well within walking distance and I can only imagine how often [...]

19 June 2008

June 20, 2008: Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day. But when you have three Dachshunds, which one do you take? Both Chloe and Odie have been to the office before and it proved quite embarrassing. The first time Chloe when to work, she peed on the carpet on top where another Take Your [...]
