IS THIS YOU?

Those of us who love dogs understand the meme perfectly. I could watch videos of doxies all day long, especially a bunch of puppies playing together.  I love dogs in general, but I ADORE dachshunds. Once you've had a doxie, other breeds pale in comparison! That is not to say that there aren't other wonderful dogs out there, but you doxie lovers know what I'm talking about. I've never had or been around a dog breed that was more interactive, nosy, alert, and loving than a doxie.

My doxie Duke was literally our fur child. He interacted with us. He showed us unconditional love (that is, unless we were making fun of him--he knew we were, and told us off in no uncertain terms). Dogs are master observers, and coupled with their sense of smell, can pretty much figure out what's going on with us humans. They know our body language as well, and if you've ever been upset, you know your doxie does his/her best to give you doggie kisses and comfort you in his own special way. And it is pretty special.

Dachshunds, no matter their quirks and failings, are the best, and it's impossible not to love 'em.
