I love Amo and follow him on FaceBook.

I got my girl Sienna, a 7 year old doxie as a rescue. I had dogs when I was little and didn't know much about doxies but my boyfriend at the time had one. I knew they were amazing and cute but I had no idea just how wonderful they are. She is the love of my life and I love the stubborness and the playfulness and even the inappropriate barking.

She recently had a terrible time with a back issue so forgive me for preaching but you really need to be careful with their backs. I didn't think it would happen to Sienna but it did. Don't let them climb too many stairs or jump off the bed/couch. They may seem okay and then one day......

But the good news is they can recover with conservative care (meds, crating and acupuncture)

I LOVE, LOVE your post! I too, have had all different breeds, and once I looked into my sweet Jack Dawgson's face, there was no turning back. I love dogs....all dogs....but I will only have, only want dachshunds. Three, are never enough! :0)

Skunk holes. Not so ok. Oy.

Skunks and woodchucks both very stupid. Otherwise why would they dig holes in a yard with three Dachsies and a Lab???

LOVE the photo of Ammo in the pool. HE sounds like a pretty cool and well-behaved dog. And you know, it is perfectly ok to be stubborn now and then. :)

I go just about everywhere with my mom too. We have so much fun together. Sometimes my dad though wants a little time with just my mom so then they go on date night without me.

Someone once told me that once Dachshunds stole your heart, no other breed would do. I love most dogs, but Dachsies are my passion! But there are many different personalities. I had twin littermates that were as different as night and day. But their common denominator was that Dachsie love and devotion, and, of course, love of burrowing in the softest throw around. I plan to always have at least 1 Dachshund in my life. They are wonderful.

I also had many dogs. My doxie was found as a baby in the street but didn't know at the time what she was. She belonged to my nephew and his mom hated her because she was VERY destructive. When I found out about her being a weenie dog, I did my research on the personality. She was indeed stubborn and was very shy. At this time I kept her in my room because b/c she wouldn't come out from under the bed. She stayed with my chihuahua, who always sleeps. In a matter of weeks, she did what no one could ever do. She stole my heart. ^o^ As I was snuggling with my chihuahua in the bed, I felt her hop in the bed and poke her nose on mine. I opened her eyes and she wagged her tail. =3 <3

LOOOOOVE this post. We tried to do as much with Calvin as we possibly could when he was a puppy but as first time dog owners, we were still a little too protective I think.

With Theo, we tried to take more of your approach and you really can tell the difference. Definitely a great reminder to make sure to focus on socialization as early and often as you can!
