Am I weird?! I love watching my dachshunds stare outside, and I especially love it when they do it as a pair. I try to imagine what they might be thinking; what they may be seeing or hearing. How about your dachshund?! Do you enjoy it when your dachshunds do the same!??

In February 2012, I photographed my friend’s wirehair dachshund puppies. I love dachshund puppies; they’re truly a guilty pleasure of mine. I’d love to have a whole litter of dachshund puppies all to myself, but thankfully I have showed restraint – especially since they don’t stay puppies forever. For all of those who can’t or don’t have dachshund puppies, enjoy the pictures. They’re the next best things, I think, and in some cases better because the pictures are a lot less effort. Make it a great day dachshund friends.

Emily is about 2 and a half years old, and today she had her first anesthetic teeth cleaning. I’m thrilled to announce she did great! What was extremely comforting for me, was our vet and his transparency. He gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility while reviewing the step-by-step process. He really helped to put my mind at ease. They did blood work, took radiographs, scaled and polished the teeth. Best of all, no extractions were required. Emily will be home within the hour. Today’s featured photos are of Emily from last week’s beach excursion (we go weekly) enjoying life to fullest. Have a wonderful day dachshund friends and remember to get your dachshunds’ teeth cleaned at least once a year if you can. Rufus got his cleaned in December 2013, and now Emily got hers. Lily won’t need a cleaning until she’s 2 or older.

Rufus explores Ojai‘s Meditation Mount. It’s a tranquil place where a dachshund can meditate and be one with nature. Rufus really seemed to enjoy the time away from the girls (Emily and Lily). Every dachshund deserves a day to himself. Make it a great one dachshund friends.

Nothing to see here, just a black and tan and red smooth out for a leisurely stroll. This is Rufus and Myfanwy from July 2012. I love the pairing of a red and black and tan. What’s your favorite pairing?! Do you like bookends?! Like two reds or two black and tans or do you like a mix of color and coat type?! Inquiring dachshund humans want to know.

This is Emily and her littermate Myfanwy. The two got to hang out in July 2012, for an afternoon and had a real good go of it, and like true sisters there was evidence of some sibling rivalry mixed with sweet moments of tenderness. Enjoy dachshund friends.

As previously shared, Emily and Lily love their sticks. This video is from August 2013, and Lily had only been with us for about a month. My girls crack me up daily. How about yours?!

I was in the mood for some longhair dachshund, and looking through my archives I came across these from February 2011 of Sophie. Sophie is a darling dachshund with such gorgeous red golden locks and those distinctive framing black streaks on her ears. She’s truly another beautiful dachshund. Don’t you think!? Enjoy dachshund friends.
