Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals
Posted on | August 28, 2009 | No Comments
Tomorrow is Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals Races. I have entered all three of my dachshunds to race.
Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals, San Diego, CA
I’ve never been to the Wiener races, so if you have and have any pointers on how my dogs can do better let me know.
I’m not sure if Montgomery will race and I think he will make me hold him the whole time.
Franzi will want to chase the other doxies and pull on their ears.
I’m hoping Rommel will win since he’s really fast.
See you there tomorrow!
The origin of dachshunds and other dogs with short legs
Posted on | August 12, 2009 | No Comments
This is interesting:
A single evolutionary event appears to explain the short, curved legs that characterize all of today’s dachshunds, corgis, basset hounds and at least 16 other breeds of dogs, a team led by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, reported today.

It’s Official: Dogs are smarter than cats

Franzi how did you get on the table with the catfood?
Don’t get me wrong, I like cats (we have four), but I’ve always thought that dogs were smarter. Sure, cats have that cool and aloof act that makes them seem intelligent, but when it gets right down to it, dogs are a lot better at figuring stuff out. Just ask Franzi — she figured out how to move chairs so she can jump up into them to get to the cats food. I’ve never seen one of our cats do that (or even bother to try).
Now a psychologist at the Exeter University in the UK seems to have settled the debate. Cats aren’t as clever as we think, and perform worse than dogs when it comes to tasks like solving a simple problem to get at food. So now when someone starts bragging about how much smarter their cat is than your dog, you can say “oh really?” and point them to this research.

Dachshund Gear

If you’re anything like me you love your dachshund to be around you at all times. But they can’t always leave the house with you, so I like to wear my dachshund duds and any thing else dachshund related to show my love for the breed.
My Dachshund Charm Bracelet
One of my favorites pieces is a dachshund charm bracelet made from a couple of old sterling silver spoons. I found it years ago in a flea market and have never seen another one. I still love going to flea markets in the hope that I’ll find other things like it.
The web site collectiblestoday.com has some fun doxie jewelery. I’m thinking about getting this watch.
