Toothless Hank and the Rawhide Chew
At age 13, Ol' Hank doesn't have many teeth left to chew a rawhide. So he'll take it to the yard and bury it for a couple days to make it nice, soft & gummable.

Being a dachshund puppy isn't as easy and carefree as you might think. Hercules' schedule is jam-packed. With all he does, little wonder he sleeps so hard.
Hercules is a puppy. He can go from 100% energy, flying around the yard one moment and 100% passed out in the next. From Hero to Zero in 2 seconds flat.
Dachshunds are good at a few things: burrowing, digging, barking, tripping you and putting themselves at the center of whatever it is you're doing.
I accidentally woke Hercules while he slept with his squeaky toy. I’m not quite sure what this look on his face is, but I’m definitely not touching the giraffe.
Rommel has no problem taking a mid-afternoon power nap in his office chair, As his office mate I don't really mind. I just wish he didn't snore and twitch.

Yesterday I spent close to 30 minutes looking for little Hercules only to find him passed out under the covers on the bed with a big doxie smile on his face.
Hercules loves nothing more than getting the cat's leftover food. Once he's cleaned the plate, he shreds it into tiny pieces and leaves it for me to clean up.
Dachshunds are awesome, but they can be easy targets for animals like coyotes unless you've got a pack mate that's a mastiff. Then the coyote needs to look out.
