Photo: Scott Beale Lovesick dog walks 10k to see Naples sweetheart They say love knows no distance, but when hearts are yearning, sometimes the only option is to bridge the gap: that’s exactly what Toto, a Dachshund, or sausage dog, did when he dodged traffic to cross two Campania provinces in search of his love. Toto who lives in the town of Scafati, in Salerno, met Lilly, a fellow Dachshund, this summer when their respective owners struck up a friendship while on holiday. When the dogs clapped eyes on eachother, it was love at first sight and they became inseparable, with Toto spending some time at Lilly’s home in the Naples town of Casola, Metropolisweb.it reported. But Toto soon had to return home, plunging him into the depths of despair. “His eyes became sad, he could no longer see his sweetheart,” the news  [keep reading...]

How to know if your dog has Cushing's Disease and Diabetes. What is Cushing's Cushing's Disease (or syndrome) occurs when the adrenal glands produce excess amounts of cortisol, also known as cortisone. Cushing's is also known as hyperadrenocorticism. Hyper = above normal; adreno = relating to the adrenal glands; corticism = relating to the cortex & cortisol production. So, Cushings is a disease of elevated cortisol production by the adrenal cortex. Cushing's is much more common in dogs than in cats, so this page focuses on Cushings in dogs. Dogs have two adrenal glands, which are are small pea-sized glands located next to the kidneys. The adrenal glands produce several types of hormones that are involved in regulating many of the body's processes including control of blood potassium and sodium concentrations, water metabolism, protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, stress response, regulation of blood pressure, and to a small extent sex hormone levels. The outer portion of the adrenal gland is  [keep reading...]

Is a dachshund right for you and your family?

By |2015-06-15T08:00:59-07:00June 15, 2015|News, Photos, Stories|0 Comments

Is a dachshund right for you and your family? Curious, lively, charming, and brave, the Dachshund is similar to a terrier in his demands to be in on everything. This comical clown loves to play games and has a great sense of humor. He is a loyal little dog, very attached to his family, and he firmly believes that sleeping under the bedcovers is in the Dachshund Bill of Rights. Dachshunds attract devoted followers who would never consider having any other breed. Indeed, Dachshunds are often kept in pairs, which is A-OK with them, since they seem to recognize and prefer being with other "wiener dogs". They're usually good with other family pets, too, though they can be jealous when they want attention and they can be possessive of their toys. You need to put a firm stop to the first signs of jealousy or possessiveness so that these don't become bad habits. Though the Dachshund makes a great house  [keep reading...]

I love my Dachshunds!

By |2013-11-20T10:53:24-08:00November 20, 2013|News, Stories|1 Comment

I love my Dachshunds! I'm a very lucky person. I have four dachshunds I get to spend all day and night with! I like to call them the “Doxie Nation.” Rommel, the very first dachshund I got, is a classic red. He just celebrated his 10th birthday with us in September. Rommel really loves to play “ball” as we call it (though most refer to it as “fetch”), he loves it so much that he will keep playing until he passes out, with the ball still in his mouth, of course! When I sit at my desk, he is always on my lap, happily spending time with me. At night, he loves to cuddle up and sleep under my left arm. Curiously, unlike all of my other dachshunds, Rommel prefers to keep himself separated from other dogs and enjoys spending time on his own. Franzi, my second dachshund, is eight years old and chocolate and tan in coloring. She's actually  [keep reading...]
