Ha! We have bought a 5th wheel trailer just because of our doxies! I used to travel a lot for continuing education, and did not want to kennel our dogs, or worry about leaving them in a hotel room. So, we bought the 5th wheel and they go everywhere we go. I've built a ramp so they can get...

You will often hear doxie owners say "they are just like potato chips, you can't have just one." They do like company. And they love to cuddle. A second dog can help, but they prefer to be with their human. And they do eventually adjust to being left alone. We made the decision to get a...

Just because I couldn't place the context. I thought maybe the calendars were celbrating President's day, or something, but that wouldn't make sense because that would be too late in the year to be handing out calendars. That was like 30 years ago, and things get a little fuzzy after storing...

I hesitated mentioning George Washington, but that is a name I associated with it. Thank you for finding that on EBay. $45? I should have kept the box.

It is a door stop. We've had that thing for close to 30 years, and this is the first time I've noticed how it looks like it is really just embedded in the floor! I managed my father-in-law's grocery store back in the 80's. One year we bought calendars to advertise the store and to hand...

Thanks for the rescue. Dogs don't do well on the streets by themselves.

Great looking dogs! Looks like a great, loving Mom, too.

I guess it depends on the shelter. We rescued Frank from a shelter in Victoria, TX. I saw him on the internet. A generic rescue site that had dogs from the Victoria shelter mixed in from other shelters. Frank had been found on the streets and was apparently on his own for while. He...

Gee, maybe I shouldn't have adopted Frank. PD steals the toys and won't let Frank play. PD also claims the primo spots on laps and in the bed. Despite these signs of jealousy on PD's part, the two are getting along well. It took a bit of time to get acclimated, but I believe Frank is a lot...

I can't tell if he's a mini, but I can tell he is awful cute! Nice coloring on the nose. PD's nose has a brown tone mixed in with the black, similar to Eric's.

Interesting laws that you have in Sweden. I think you treat your dogs better than WE treat OUR kids ...

... or, just don't think of it as "giving in" or a contest of wills. Just take him with you. You might enjoy the company.

We didn't know anybetter when we got PD. We answered an ad in the newspaper. The person selling PD said she showed dogs and was selling the dachshunds as a favor to a friend in Dallas (about 7 hours north of us). We met her behind a tobacco store. She had PD and two other pups. Another...

So, how bad is it for him to be with you when you leave the living room?

The first thing we did was to get him a "brother." Before they earned our trust, we would confine them to the kitchen, with a doggydoor for the backyard. Now they have the run of all of downstairs and the back yard while we are gone. Everytime we leave the house we give a treat, cookie or a...

Oh yeah, we also use gates for stairs. We used to use baby gates until we got Frank. Frank thought it was a ladder and just motored right over the gate, falling/jumping to the other side once he got to the top. Not a good thing. Now we use a Doggie Gate, which has no horizontal crossbars...

Ramps Ramps Ramps, everywhere in our house, ramps. With training they prefer the ramps, although when there is a strange noise outside or the doorbell rings all bets are off. I build simple little ramps, with triangle shaped plywood for the sides, a 1X6 covered with carpet for the runway...

Or, she may still be grieving. I've read that dogs don't poop in the house out of anger, but I'm not so sure. The only time Henry pooped in our house was right after we had dropped him off at a dog groomers for the first and only time. It sure looked like he was making a statement! PD...

Interesting how our dogs can be so quirky. PD will go in the grass, but when we go on walks, his favorite spot is across the street, near the middle of the street. It doesn't matter which side of the street we are on, he has to go to the other side. If he hasn't been on a walk in a...
