The following was written by Henry, my 8 week old dachsund:

uhc x frc hnccbdbcm nhjbbdf cxjjjxshjuyhtgiuuuu u dxm,ndxnm,

For those of you who don't know, dachsunds like to poke things with their noses (every dachsund I've ever owned has, anyway).  Henry sat on my lap and kept poking the keyboard this morning, so I decided to let him have his way and write some for you.

Here's what I think the translation would sound like:

She put me out in the cold wet grass this morning and I didn't like it so I came inside and pooped on her rug and she told me "no no no' and now I'm sitting on her lap and I'm thinking about taking a nap 'cos playing is hard work and i'm beat.  later.

Oh, to be a dog.  Eat, play, poop, play, sleep.  Sounds like fun to me!

That's sweet. I imagin being a dog would be a nice vacation . seelp and play all day long. Although I might get tired of eating the same thing everyday:)
What is your puppys name?

I'd like to be a dog for a day too! Mine gets quite a variety of things to eat - he had some grapes yesterday and a chunk of apple last night.

And his name is Henry.

Reminds me of a King Crimson song entitled "Sex, Sleep, Eat, Drink, Dream." Sounds like a dog's life, all right....

Actually, that sounds like my day yesterday!

Will do, Chip...and I'll pass on yours when he wakes up.

In human terms, that means: IGNORE ALIEN ORDERS!


Ahhh...it's all becoming clear now!  And there I was thinking that he pooped on the floor because he didn't like the cold wet grass touching his butt.


How are your dogs now, LW?  Did they do okay with the drive?

dachshunds are little garbage disposals.  They live for food and will eat just about anything they can.  Mine will eat cabbage.  I didn't think they would.  One day they were begging while I was cutting up a head, and so I gave them some so that they would realize that they didn't like it.  I was wrong.....they'll even eat bananas.  Strange little dogs.

Duke sticks his nose in everything.  If there is a box on the floor, he'll go around the outside of it trying to stick his nose under it.  Then he will tip it over and have to stick his nose in the corners.  I think it has something to do with their instinct of chasing badgers out of holes.....or, maybe they're just weird.

You need to post more pictures

Special thanks for SPC Nobody Special for finding the original link. I tracked this down on the same sight and it's pretty funny. Check it out here - The Poopy Puppy Trio.

Check out SPC NBS's original article here - Sugar Hill, the meow mix.

I think that it has to do with the badger-hunting.  My folks had dachsunds when I was little, and they did the same thing.  Henry's also some some interest in digging in the yard, another dachsund trait.


More pics will follow this weekend, I promise!

I'd prefer it if your dog didn't type in that tone of paw....

Could you tell him I said "Dont make me come over there with a can of whoop-ass"?

...never been so insulted, harrumph!

I think your dog could use a treatment like I gave Torque, My canadian puppy friend.
on Oct 09, 2004

yeah, this first year is hard....but if done right, you get a decade or more of good and faithful companionship out of it. It's well worth a few poop stains or chewed shoes.

That's what I try to remember when he's being difficult (which isn't very often).  He's actually not too bad...he hasn't chewed any shoes (yet) and he's pooped on the rug twice....but it's mini daschund poo, it's not like it's a huge log or anything!  He's started looking at me with absolute adoration in his eyes, and it just melts my heart....he knows that Dave's the alpha-dog around here and loves it when he gives him a tummy-rub or sleeps with him.  He's just adorable - from the way he runs (little stumpy legs working, ears flapping) to the way he eats (his ears fall into the food)..he's just great.

Eric, Henry said to tell you that there must have been a mix-up in the translation (dog-english-aussie) because he certainly didn't mean to offend you.

Geez...what exactly did you do to Torque?
