The 20,000 Mile Dachshund


No, this is not about the longest hot dog in the world.  This is about a Miniature Dachshund, colored black with brown, about 9 years old (maybe more) who we call Kirby.  Why is she 20,000 miles long?  Well she isn’t yet but we are working on it.

This last year, our family started an adventure of traveling around the United States.  In doing so our little Doxie will have the chance to visit new locations and make new Doxie friends across the whole U.S.  She continues her travels and you can read where she is and who she meets here.

In our travels, one thing that we have found is that stores (like Petsmartco, name changed to protect the not so innocent) don’t make it easy to find what we need to take care of our little girl.  In entering the store, just like clovers in a field, a hunt is joined to find that one special 4 leaf clover, the proper size of clothing, a treat or toy that won’t cause the jaw to drag on the ground just to carry it or a bag of dog food that would feed an army of Dachshunds for a year.  Have you ever been able to find exactly what you need right when you get there?  I know we haven’t.

Because we know Dachshunds are special, we are here now to make those choices easier.  Products will be reviewed based on actual Doxie use, tips including playing and taking care of Dachshunds will be shared and even something fun will be thrown in from time to time.  Overall we hope to create a friendship with other owners of this great breed.

Feel free to share your Doxie travels, ideas for items, tips for care or your thoughts here anytime.  Posts will always be open for comment so that we can all share and learn.

Thanks,
