After nearly eight months away from home on deployment with the US Navy to Kuwait, my two dachshunds were very happy to see me again. Franklin is the black and tan male and Sally is the red/brown female. Both are two years old and both were rescue dogs. For more information contact Southern States Dachshund Rescue at ssdr.org and Dachshund Rescue of North America at drna.org for more dachshunds in need of a good home. They are the best dogs ever.

At some point in our lives we've all said..."Look, there's a weiner dog" and we weren't talking about a ballpark frank! Or we ran into a magician who make's balloon dog's that looked like a weiner dog. But what are "weiner dogs?" Weiner dogs of course are Dachshunds!. Dachshunds originally came from Germany about 300 years ago, although similar looking dogs have actually appeared in Egyptian art more that 1000 years ago. They were originally bred to sneak into small places to flush out badgers and other ferocious animals...hence the name "Dachs" meaning badger and "Hund" meaning dog. They come in a smorgasbord of varieties and colors...standard, miniature, smooth-coat, long-coat, wire-haired, black and tan, red and dapper. Although they were originally bred to be fearless and scrappy, the Dachshund of today is a "people dog". They are also energetic, playful, make good watchdogs and are sociable with other family pets. Their weiner-like body though doesn't come without some health problems. Here are a few that you might encounter ...back problems and disc disease. Always remember when picking up a weiner dog protect it's back by cradling it's rear and supporting it's trunk at the same time. After all, I've never heard of dog chiropractors. Weiner dogs, hot dogs or sausage dogs, whatever you call them you're bound to love them. To quote a long time Dachshund owner..."Once you have owned one, you will never be without one and once you have been owned by one...there's no ...

In this video we visit the 19th annual Dachshund Spring Fiesta in NYC's Washington Square Park. Put on by the Dachshund Friendship Club, the event is one of two get-togethers they hold each year and draws hundreds of Dachsies and their owners. The only official activity is the singing of the Dachshund Song, composed by Murray Weinstock (who also made a CD of "dog tunes" called Tales of the City) and Paul de Vries. With Weinstock on accordion and de Vries' custom organ (built in honor of his now deceased Dachshund), the polka song is a befitting tribute to the hot dog.

For more information For training your wonderful Dog bit.ly For making the best Dog Food bit.ly ========================= Thank you FreeFoto.com for the use of your pictures Dachshund "The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed of the hound family. The breed's name is German and literally means "badger dog," from (der) Dachs, badger, and (der) Hund, dog. While classified as a hound in English speaking countries, some consider the classification to be in error, speculating that it arose from the fact that the German word hund is similar to the English word hound. In fact many dachshunds, especially the wire haired sub type, exhibit behavior and appearance that is far more similar to the terrier group of dogs. The standard size was developed to scent, chase, and flush badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature was to hunt rabbits. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to as a wiener dog. Not withstanding the German origin of the dachshund's name, within German-speaking countries the breed is known—both formally and informally—as the Dackel or Teckel. History ---------- Some have theorized that the early roots of the dachshund go back to Ancient Egypt, where engravings were made featuring short-legged hunting dogs. Recent discoveries by the American University in Cairo of mummified dachshund-like dogs from ancient Egyptian burial urns may lend credibility to this theory. But in its modern incarnation, the dachshund is a ...

We used the tractor to tow the Huey onto the paintball field. (Welcome to my world.) Afterward, I tried to drive it off the field without cutting down trees. Got into the slightly wet part-time stream area. It got stuck, but we had paintball to play! So I left it till later. When I tried to start it, it didn't start. It has been hard to start as the weather got colder. Bought a brand new deep-cycle battery, cleaned terminals/connectors. Fail. Tried spraying silicon into the air intake past the filer and without the filter on. Fail. Tried adding more fuel in case the tilt was making it hard to get fuel. Fail. Tried looking for a manual fuel primer. Fail. If there is one I couldn't find it and JD doesn't put their manuals online. They sell them. For a lot. Tried jump starting from my ATV to add some more amps. Fail. The BBQ grill actually worked. We were so happy! Unfortunately, it had taken about 2 weeks of finding the free time to work on it, during which time it rained, more. And we saw this great video here www.youtube.com but although our "tire log" was larger, our tractor was MUCH larger, and it destroyed it. Want fun? Try tying a log to a tractor wheel in cold mud with chain. Sounds easy. Two guys and a bucket of chains dragged a 5 ton piece of equipment uphill almost 100' without a winch 2-3' at a time. The "good ideas" ended once it was started and the oak trunk snapped because it was too long. The rest was just stubbornness. Anyway, my lesson as a newer land owner ...
