I have famly in a more rural area and do to that i guess, I had grown up calling our beloved Dachshunds "Dutch Hounds"! Or I spose more accurately "Deutsch Hounds", as I had always assumed that they were called that because they were dog (Hounds), from Germany (Deutschland). Did anyone else grow up calling them that? Or maybe just hearing them be referred to as such?

this subject appears to be a bit hot, I shall continue my Dutch Hound loving ways none the less. î>î*

My Boy is an Angel 😇 ❤️

Our poor 9-week-old baby had her second vaccination shot today and then completely ballooned 30-40 minutes later. We took her STRAIGHT to the vets and she’s being looked after and monitored for the next couple of hours.

Luckily, it wasn’t anaphylactic and she’s remained a happy girl (according to the vet). We’ll be picking her up in the next couple of hours - very scary afternoon.

She definitely wasn’t bit or stung as I had her with me in the bedroom and then noticed her face changing.

We’re in a bit of a pickle with going to my partner’s friends baby shower tomorrow. Will she be okay by then? Would you bring her with you or completely ditch the baby shower? It’s at 11:30AM tomorrow and this has happened at 3:00PM today.

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. And we’d never ever put Cece’s health or safety second, so all opinions are welcome. We’d never leave her alone, this is more so to hear what other pup owners would do in this situation - especially when explaining it to someone’s baby shower.

EDIT: this isn’t even the worst of the allergic reaction, this was after she’d been treated and injected with five different meds.

Hi everyone! A lot of people loved the game and the first designs, so as a huge thank you, I've already modeled 10 of your dogs and suggestions for this version, and I also added English language support!

​Right now I'm hitting a small roadblock: Google Play requires me to run a 14-day closed test to fully release the game. That's why I really need your help as testers!

​What's coming after the test?

I'll be releasing another 30 skins based on the dogs you've been requesting as a reward for your support.

​Full transparency (Monetization):

The final game will have ads (non-intrusive and completely optional just to revive), but they are disabled during this test. I also included a special $3 "Support the Dev" skin in case anyone wants to support the project (I'm currently an unemployed indie student and it helps a ton!), but the base game is 100% free.

​If you want to lend a hand, test the game, and help me break it this weekend, please send me a DM with your Gmail address so I can add you to the official tester list and give you the link. 😃 Thank you so much for all the support!

Thank you the spark driver for this substation

I honestly have no idea how he got here. Animal control had no intake history for me, I don’t know if he was dumped or surrendered. Poor guy is sleeping on my lap right now.

Just showing the dachound world another weiner pic

If I could go back in time, I would have quit the stupid job I was doing, which I thought was so, so, so important, and just spent every waking moment watching my boy grow. I can't have that time back. When I look at this photo, I see this sweet, baby boy for which everything was new, maybe scary, and unsure of who he was, where he was, or what was coming down the pipeline.

I did have pets when I was growing up, but Dandy is the first pet I paid for out of my own pocket, the first one where I had to grow up myself and realize the responsibilities I needed to have to take care of him properly.

Now he is 4 years old. I think he feels safe, secure, loved, acknowledged, and certainly fed well. He's grown into the most handsome boy and I'm still surprised at how many people will literally stop on the street to acknowledge him on a daily basis when we're out for his walks.

He loves people and he doesn't hesitate to approach them. Other than my husband, this dog is the greatest gift I have in my life.

Cherish the puppy days; they're gone too soon!

This is Petunia. First pic is her in February of this year (she was ~8 weeks) and the second pic is now (over 11 months old). I can’t believe how much she’s grown!! We were worried when we were picking a pup that she wouldn’t have a fitting personality (bc it was like a 4 hour drive so we couldn’t meet her before hand), but she is truthfully the best pup we could’ve gotten! She soooo sweet, and loves every member of our family (including her 2 fellow pups) so much. My favorite thing about her is that any time anyone is doing anything, she’s watching. Grandpas weeding? She’s helping. Grandmas painting? She’s there, and got a bit of it on her ear. I’m working out? She’s sitting on my bed looking very concerned 😂 We call her our little supervisor; she has to make sure you’re doing everything right.

Anyways, I just wanted to rant a little and show these pictures because the difference is crazy! She was 2 pounds when we first got her!! I’ll attach some more of my fav pics of her in the comments

What changes have you made to your Dachshund's everyday routine around jumping or stairs?

For years I have struggled trimming my 10 year old mini. I have my sister hold her while I attempt to cut the nails. She'll try moving her head to where my hand is or those back legs start kicking to where I can't cut them.

I managed to do one foot tonight but I cut a nail too short and she yelped 🤦‍♀️ so I'll try again another day. Food doesn't really help. Mind you she's just fine when she gets her nails trimmed at the vet. Only at home she shows out. Nail grinder is also a no go.

Great adventure was had.
