Wild Doxie Order - Dachshund Laws

There is an established order where the wild doixes roam. Order is not taken lightly and prospective laws must be submitted, reviewed by committee, tested for dachshund constitutionality (what a dachshund’s constitution can stand) and finally voted on by all registered voters. (Ex. Mikkey and Abbie are afforded one vote each, Tyler the [...]

New Beds for the Wild Doxies

Mikkey and Abbie had a great weekend with a couple of extra “hands” to offer them some attention. Additionally, some new household furniture came with our visitors which is always cause for canine celebration. Beautiful received two chairs as a part of her birthday presents but the wild doxies are fairly certain the [...]

Birthday Excitement

Quite a stir where the wild doxies roam today. Beautiful, Weasel, Phoenixtail and Ferretboy are all preparing for the arrival of Beautiful’s parents who have come to join the family for Beautiful and Phoenixtail’s birthday on Saturday. (Yep, they have the same birthday.)  Mikkey and Abbie took all the preperations in stride. [...]

Wild Doxies Upgrades

Great News!
We have just added a photo gallery to Wild Doxies. There are only a few photos there now but look for more photos of Mikkey Abbie and Zoey soon. It is also our hope that you will share/submit your own dachshund photos to our gallery. We would love to add your [...]

Mikkey Sleeping With Me

Guest Editor: Phoenixtail, daughter of Beautiful and Weasel
Every night I get into my bed to read, then Wimper, Wimper, Wimper! thats Mikkey wanting to get up on my bed. I pick him up and then he starts his usual licking. I stop him from licking me and get back to my book. Then Mikkey tries [...]

Dachshund Breath

As you may have noticed, we like dachshunds here.  But wouldn’t it be great if something could be done about their breath.  Dogs in general are not known for sweet smelling breath but dachshunds excel in this area of dubious achievement.  Perhaps it relates to another dachshund trait, being fascinated by anything that is disgusting [...]

Dachshund Decisions Are Not Easy

Choosing a dachshund puppy can be quite challenging. Your best bet is to check out several reputable breeders, visit each one and get a chance to see the puppies and their parents in person. That “may” give you an idea of the personality of dog you will be adopting. Trouble is, [...]

Wild Technorati Doxies

Just added Wild Doxies to Technorati. According to Technorati they are, “a real-time search engine that keeps track of what is going on in the blogosphere — the world of weblogs.” They also allow sites to be maked with tags (just words really) that define what they are about. [...]

Girl Trouble

Just when it’s time to get something done.
scratch scratch scratch.
It’s the girl, abbie. It’s not a problem that she wants up on my lap while I’m working - the problem is that she doesn’t want up on my lap. Instead she likes to play a little game. If I put her on my lap then [...]

Nicknames

Perhaps we are just nickname people but I think it’s more likely that dachshunds simply engender nicknames naturally.  Because of their slightly comical appearance and nature there may be a subconcious need to give them their own “special” names to illustrate their importance in our lives.  It’s also possible that a doxie forces their way [...]
