Spaatz helps with Laundry

Does not excell at folding

Spaatz likes to hang out with me when I'm folding clothes. Especially when the stuff is fresh out of the dryer. Then he likes to get right in there. I always enjoy having company when I'm doing mundane tasks. It doesn't get much more mundane than folding laundry. The big problem is that I have to keep taking away his snuggling material, so I feel a little bad. He'll keep moving as the pile gets smaller, but eventually he'll be forced to move on to some other project. That's Spaatz, always in the thick of things.

Peaches is my Teddydog

Teddydog

Miss Peaches is also known as the Teddydog. Kinda like a teddy bear except much better. Teddy bears are mere stuffed animals. Peach is the fulfilment of any kids dream, because she's warm and cuddly and will give kisses upon request. Real bears while I'm sure they're warm and appear cuddly, they get huge and will rip your face off. Miss Peaches might go outside and kill something (yesterday another snake) she will not be getting any bigger, and her most aggressive move towards you might be to "fluff" up your lap before settling down for a nap.That's whats great about small dogs, dachshunds in particular, they always keep that puppy appeal because of their size, you just don't have to clean up after them quite as much.

She's Got My Number

Sweet Peaches

Miss Peachy has got my number and she knows it. They say that dachshunds own their people, not the other way around. She certainly knows how to communicate. Its not a growl, it has a higher pitch to it. This little RrRrRrRrR sound she makes at me when she wants something, usually to be patted or a belly rub. Often by 8 o'clock if I'm not awake she will make her little noise, which is the signal for AM belly rubs. I was sitting at the computer, I hear her, look down, she wants to sit in my lap. I obliged, she has me well trained. One night as we were sitting watching TV, she is looking at me very intently. I picked her up, looking at her face to face, I said, "do you want something Peachy". She looked at me, looked at the door, looked at me, looked at the door. You want to go out? I said.That was a definite "yes" as she took off for the door, her partners in crime right behind her.

AWESOME DACHSHUND PHOTOS!!

Luncheon Weenie

You know, I wish I could take credit for this one, but I can't. I don't know who took it or the dogs names, but I know this is a priceless photo of a wienerdog who's not too sure if he's on the menu. If anyone knows who took it I would be glad to give them credit. My blog is predominately about my dogs, Miss Peachy, Spaatz ,Foozeball and Watson. Every once in a while I see something that I must share. This one is worthy of a lol.

Watson figured we were sharing lunch

Watson always ready for anything

Watson was my first Dachshund, and he was a great dog. A standard sized wire hair. One day I stopped at Arby's to get a quick sandwich. Watson was with me, sitting in the backseat of a mini van. I pulled into a space to eat my sandwich. I undid the wrapper and as I took my first bite I realized that my lips were not the only ones on the sandwich. As I took a bite so did Watson, it was a stealth move that surprised me, but made me laugh. Then, when I took a second bite he figured he could do it again since he didn't get in trouble the first time. I was actually hysterical. I did inform him that was it, I hadn't planned on sharing. Just having that fuzzy face right next to mine as I bit into that sandwich was a moment that will stay with me forever.

Hey Reddit, Which one of these is not SPAM?

SPAM and Peaches
I really love my Dachshunds, they are at the center of my life. I enjoy taking fun photos and telling stories about them. I enjoy sharing these photos and stories with other people, who enjoy them too. Dogs are great and Dachshunds are awesome. I have been sharing my wonderful Dachshunds on Reddit and other sharing sites, and everything was peachy as we say. Then one day something went haywire and my posts were going to the SPAM file. The mods from dachshunds were helpful,but there seems to be a bigger problem than they can address.Something is broken. My numerous attempts to get help from the site mods and admin. seems to have fallen on deaf ears or no ears. I'm not sure which. I ask you now, could this sweet little dog be confused for SPAM? I think not. The two do not look at all similar. Peaches and Spam might go good together if you had a whole lot of peaches and not so much Spam.

Dachshunds Honor Memorial Day

All American Dachshunds

Happy Memorial Day America!!. The gang and I wanted to do a little tribute to all who have served this great country in the armed forces. I must admit their motives aren't the same as mine. I hope you haven't forgotten the reason for the holiday weekend!. It's so you won't forget. My dad served in the Navy in WWII, and my grandad was in the army in WWI, they were among the fortunate to make their way home. Today we remember those who didn't, and without their sacrifice this country and even the world would be a different place.
