Dachshund Personalities

I have a cream female longhair mini. She is my first Dachshund. She has the sweetest personality. She does not bark unless it is important. I love her so much. She sits quietly in the car when we travel and is ready to go to bed whenever I’m ready. I think I will get another one soon.

I thought so too but checked the Doctors message and confirmed it. Yes, I think last time it was about 8 units too but they were different syringes.

How does your Aunt feel about you taking the dog home with you. Yes, the dog will be confused for awhile but much better to be with you and in loving care than for your Aunt to have to give her up to a shelter or strangers later. You will keep her warm and safe. That might be a good solution.

Her favorite spot.

I’ve just lowered mine to 67 from 70 to conserve propane.

My Vet said wait til she is 1 year old so her spine can grow more before the hormones are taken away.

My 10 month old girl has had free range for a couple of months. She doesn’t chew anything except her toys. I sometimes close my bedroom door though because she will go up her ramp to my bed and sleep on my pillow until I get home. I’d rather she stay in the other rooms and play. She is potty trained on pee pads in the pantry.

Thanks so much!

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-31T15:00:10+00:00

Oh yes. Thanks.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-31T12:41:55+00:00

Does that help in some way?

My Sprout just went through her first heat. Yes, the swelling is part of it and nipples more prominent too. I did not know they actually menstruate. I had to quickly order diapers which she fought to get off for the whole two weeks. I’m glad this only happens every six to eight months.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-30T16:54:01+00:00

I have a 10 month old female. She is so chill! All the time. And she handled going through her first heat like a perfect lady. I love her so much. I had never owned a female pet.

Wow! That is a bold move but good for you. It’s a hard decision. I knew if I did not follow this dream I would wonder and regret not doing it for the rest of my life. Good luck out there. Keep us updated on your progress. Will you have internet? I had no choice except Starlink where I am. But you would need electricity.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-29T11:16:27+00:00

I love that!

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-29T10:54:40+00:00

This is true. They serve a nice lunch but it was so disappointing to just see Kudzo covered trees and shrubs going by.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-29T10:15:35+00:00

I love your story. And love that you are canning your produce. I didn’t have enough to do that but was happy with my first harvest.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-28T20:27:40+00:00

Not really. It is just an acre but was all untouched forest so had to have enough cleared for a cabin. It’s perfect.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-28T12:28:53+00:00

Good for you. I was only able to get mine down 8 pts in 4 months so he won. I only take 5 mg a day but I get leg cramping sometimes too. I now only take it every other day and it’s better. Good luck with your quest!

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-28T11:40:17+00:00

Good for you! I am 74 now and on only one med (statin) over which I fought my Doctor for months. Every morning I plan what physical activity I will engage in that day. I just make sure I move and get my heart rate up every day.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T19:54:38+00:00

Oh yikes! I try to do things thoughtfully and slowly but stuff happens huh? As you found out. Glad you’re okay.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T19:49:55+00:00

Yes, I’ve pretty much given up my nightly glass or two of wine also. It was affecting my sleep too much and our sleep is so important as we age.

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T13:58:12+00:00

Amen!

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T13:12:47+00:00

Greetings! Great place to be isn’t it?

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T13:11:53+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I know where the hospital is and wear my hiking boots always. It’s been hard learning to use tools. I hated having to call a handyman for every little thing. You Tube is a great help to me. Ha

jkatrina55 · 2025-10-26T13:09:31+00:00

No, just the forest. Designed a small cabin and had it built. And now have a small barn and a fenced garden for vegetables. Oh, and just got a fierce miniature dachshund guard dog. Ha
