So sorry, Shir.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Compassionately intolerant
I understand they are fiercely defensive of the people they consider theirs. Which is both sort of endearing, and very problematic from a behavioral point of view.
Yep. Just not good in the dog park, as a rule. And fussy in the house when guests are involved. But, MAN, if it feels good to have a dog be your shield, they are the best.
And, of course, terribly cute and funny...and cuddly with their particular people. The happiest Dachsies I've met come in pairs. Not sure why that is.

Oh Shir, deepest, deepest sympathies and hugs to you, my darling.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My condolences, Shir.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Shir. He was very deeply loved, which is all a dog really wants.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I am so sorry Shir.
Oz is totally friendly, he loves people and does fine with other dogs (likely because of growing up with Maxine before she passed). He barks like a wild thing and will rush at people and animals, it's just that when he reaches them he's all tail wags and excited yelping.
I can hand him over to any stranger and he'll happily lick their faces or play ragdoll in their arms. He does not like small children petting him (they're not gentle enough), but his usual reaction to that is to tuck his head somewhere they can't reach.
He's also a bold thief. He will take anything from another dog/cat/some people no matter the size or how vicious. He begs for food and beer in a way that almost sounds as if he's trying to make out words. Here is Oz at the drive-thru [link]
I'm not sure if he's a typical mini doxie, but he's not at all fearful or anxious or bitey.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Shir.

Enough with animals getting sick, universe. Just cut it out.
