Everything I know, I learned from my Dachshund(s)

I thought I would bring this back to the top and see if there are any others to add. If not, I'm going to see if I can create a neat looking page of all of the things we've learned that I can print and mail out. Get your thinking caps on and see if there are anymore. Hallie may have taught Dee Dee something in the last week or two!

I have learned that if I whine and act like a drama queen, someone will think I'm really sick and take me to the doctor's.

That if you really want something, sit up like a gentleman and then if that doesn't work, take your front paw(s) and slap Mom on the leg ...and if that doesn't work, give the L@@K and be sure to show the whites of your eyes......works everytime.

Ginger says, "if I bark at nothing, my ding a ling brother Coal will run to the door to get out, and I get to stay in and get all Mom's lovins to myself!"  or "steal his toy for myself" 

She just prances around so proud of herself everytime, cracks us up!!

Gretl-Angel says, "If your sister (or brudder) is sitting on or next to Mom, and that's where you want to be, run to the door and bark ferociously, so s/he will get up to check it out, and then you get the spot!"  Gretl used to smirk every time she did this!

That when you're happy to see someone, never hold back; show them you're REALLY happy!  Bounce around their feet (even as they're walking) and wag your tail until they kneel down to greet you back.

If I grunt in the night I will get more room in the bed.

*this is classic with Modem and Molly if you take too much room or heaven forbid bump them they will let out a loud grunt and
   pretty much ask you to move over...which I do because I don't want to squish them in bed. LOL

Dolly here.  I like that GRUNTING rule.  Here's another one.  If you stretch your four feet out in just the right direction, you get more room in da big bed and if you really stretch, you can push da hooman right onto da floor.  Maddie, all ten pounds of her, really did dis once.  She pushed papa right out of bed.

If your on a walk with lots of scents take your time to enjoy it 

*Modem and Molly really love flowers and fresh smells, this was evident again when we went to Montana and Wyoming
  and the doglets were enjoying smells of pine trees, ferns and flowers.

if ya worm dance with your hooman in the room then you'll get belly rubs
