This won't help except to say we are in the same boat here. My soon to be 15 year old has Canine Cognitive Disorder (Dementia) and very little hearing or sight. There are meds for the dementia but we have opted not to use them. My girl refuses to take meds most days. She was on them for other...

I have 2 older dachshunds -- 13 years old. The Male, Mac, has started having trouble not being able to go as long without being let out to pee. This is no problem when we are home, as we take him out any time he needs. A few times over the last month, we have come home to find one of them...

Mac and Mia have fleece blankets too. Mac got into something with stuffing when he was 6 months old and ended up having surgery. We almost lost him. It was gut wrenching and costly! So no more stuffed things. We have 4 fleece blankets and create a cushy bed with them. They will get underthem...

Both ours like to get under blankets but Mac rarely tunnels. He wants you to cover him! Spoiled! He will grunt at me if I have a quilt.. in fact, we keep a couple of quilts on back of the couch and he will get on it and look at them and whine or grunt. Both ours also like to tunnel behind...

My Mia has broken free from every harness and collar I have tried. That would be a regular standard collar, a chain collar (I though she would hurt herself with that one) and a Harness I forget the name, the hook is under neck instead of on back). Looking for suggestions for a good collar /...

I have 2 mini long haired dachshunds. Both are age 3. Both are trained in a number of ways.. but we have big issues with folks coming to visit and walking on leash. I know they need to walk.. especially my male who has sooo much energy! He actually does well on leash.. not perfect, but not...

I am new here but not new to Dachshunds. My father raised pitbulls before I was born and up until I was 9. Our PB died and my mother said "Time for a change!" I am the baby and only girl (3 older brothers.. 9, 10 and 19 years older!). Mom felt it was time for an indoor dog.. something small...
