Dachshunds : miniature wire haired.

From my puppy owners - unsolicited!! I have noticed that absolutely everyone is utterly convinced that THEY have the best dog in the whole world. Well, that's not really so, because my  Ohce ,who has been my rock since Colin died is simply the best dog ever but you can see how much my wonderful friends here love and have loved their dogs.

Dear Jane
  
With great sadness to tell you that our treasure dog has gone.. 
 
She got another three  months  quality life on the best medications available  and then it was time to go.

One of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

 
She was so special to both family and my friends  and  my sorrow is shared by those that came  to love her...        
Delly is very affectionate  and a great comfort to have  and Dee says she is now "our "dog.
 
Thank you for the thirteen years of  fun and love that Tre gave us.
Now I have her portrait and precious memories.
She was so much a part of my life that it is hard to come to terms with sense of loss.
 
As Rudyard Kipling said  "Brothers and sisters I bid you beware
                                               Of giving your heart to a dog to tear."
 

 Regards

Hi Jane
 
This is just a quick email to let you know how Brandy is doing. She settled in really quickly and has been an absolute delight. Not so sure the cat will agree as Brandy has been chasing him all over the house.
 
Your method of her sleeping in her carrier is proving really good and she goes to sleep at about 9.30pm and only starts letting us know she is awake just before 7.00am. So she is in her routine and although she has her accidents inside every now and then has been really good about going outside for toilet training - even in the rain!
 
She has been for a part walk/ part carry on the beach and was quite happy socialising with smaller dogs.
 
So all in all we are so thrilled with our puppy and the girls think she is really bright, although mischievous is probably more accurate.
 
Thanks again and kind regards

Antoinette

Hi Jane,
 
We all just LOVE Declan! He is such a lovely little boy who is always on the go and ready for play. Right now his favourite game would be chewing on our fingers and toes! He just loves going out to the garden, diving under the bushes and tunnels. Such a brave little boy! It's so hard to catch him when he's running about. I often wonder how he manages to run so fast despite his short little legs. We always enjoy a game of chase in the evenings and we would just run around in the garden chasing each other, and after that he would just tire out and go for a sleep in his little beanie bed. He is a smart little boy and has learnt to come on whistle (when he feels like it :) ) and sit and wait for his food. We really enjoy having him around the house. He is such a lovable clown who brightens our daily life! Here are some photos of his daily routine.
 
Cheers,
Shanna

Hi Jane,
Having enjoyed our old haunts in Thailand in March, we have decided to
go back again to live and are off on the 2nd August.  Indie is coming with us and has his travel house
at the ready - we have had it for over a month.  We hope you and your
clan are okay and
would thank you so much for letting us have the light of our lives,
bless the little bugger!!!
With fond regards,
Mary, Peter and Indiana  xxxxx

Dear Jane

 
I have been meaning to write to you for a very long time, but our lives have been so busy!
Saying that we are happy with Pancho does not get to express what we truly feel. It goes beyond that. Our lives have changed so much - for good!
He is adorable. He is funny and clever and a true little clown. He makes us laugh so much with his cheeky adventures around the house... He is very, very affectionate, friendly with us and with everybody around us. He loves people, specially children, and loves playing. 
We have not had a single problem with him. He is so obedient, such a good boy! He likes to be around us all the time but at the same time is so independent... he understands routines and knows how to entertain himself when we are busy. I think he is getting to know us better that ourselves! 
The toilet training went very well, he now lets us know when he needs out, if the door is closed. We have had very few accidents, all of them related to excitement. The crate training went really well. He looks for his bone and goes to his bed when we make the move to go to bed ourselves. He is very clever, we have invented lots of different games and it is amazing to see how he learns them and tries to get you engaged to play with him. 
We have been taking him to obedience school, and although he has not picked up everything yet, he is pretty good. He is very sociable with other dogs. 
He has not barked much so far, although I think he is learning to do so these days... There is a certain tweeting noise that triggers it and fireworks do as well- although that is normal. And he barks to the vacuum cleaner and the postman, as expected.
I am happy with the vet. He is a good guy and a good professional. We got pet insurance, just in case. We thought that it was a wise thing to do, because you can never know.

 
I am sending you a small collection of pictures so that you can get to see how handsome he is growing. Some of them are from some time ago, but the one in the deck and the one with his little black coat are only from a couple of weekends ago... He is growing fast! And he has outgrown his coat, by the way! We have been to the beach a number of times, we love to take him there, and he enjoys it. 
He moves so fast it is difficult to get good pictures of him, but we are getting better.

 
In conclusion, I just cannot imagine not having Pancho around now. He is pure and simply the materialization of joy. We are so lucky to have this little pal in our lives. Thank you so much!

 
Kind regards, 
Pilar

Hi Jane

Hope all is well with you and your large four legged family.  Dougal and his
family want to wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Bright New Year.

Dougal is the greatest little character full of fun and mischief, looks like
butter wouldn't melt in his mouth but I have lost a couple of pairs of shoes
to his little teeth.  He is so clever he can open the lounge bi-fold doors
the other two have never tried, have to tie the handles together so he can't
open the doors and make himself at home on the lounge suite (more nervous he
may decide to take to the leather).   I can't believe that we were so set on
a red wirehaired, this little man is taking over the house and loves
cuddling his dad on a Saturday morning on the bed. Funny the two boys seem
closer than the little girl and Dougal.    Hope you enjoy the photos.
Should the longer hair on his chest and legs be trimmed?  Anyway look
forward to your comments on how he looks and any grooming comments.  His
weight we are unsure of. He is slightly taller than Toddy (the old boy) but
he is trimmer than Toddy.

Kind Regards

Sue & Alastair
