Raising a Dachshund

 Jenny as a puppy (excuse the mess---NOT my room)

Oh my Jenny is a piece of WORK!
This is my first time ever having a dachshund and I really didn't know what was in store.
Jenny is so smart--I guess most dogs are, right?

But her intelligence seems to be beyond most dogs; well she was def smarter than my Yorkie (RIP Spike)

There are some days when I just wanted to give up and give her away because I didn't have time for a dog. We brought Jenny about 5 or 6 months after Spike died. Its funny how we brought a dog that was the complete opposite of a Yorkie. Jenny is very stubborn, pushy, and such a smart ass. She gives this kiss my ass look sometimes...Oh and she likes to pretend that she is tough, but screams; Yes, screams. Yet, she is still feisty. I hate having her around other dogs b/c she tries to bully them and gets all pushy. Maybe that's b/c she wasn't raise around other dogs. Jenny is also in her humping stage..She actually tried to mount my leg and I def had to put home girl in check!

When she wants to be rubbed she pushes her nose on your hand or pushes her weight on you. She very playful. She loves to SLEEP! She is a model ;) She is thee sock bandit. She loves panties and whatever she finds on the floor is fair game! You should see the crap that she poops out. She is greedy! OMG, she will stop w/e she is doing if she hears the sound of the fridge open or microwave! She is our little hoover dog.

She actually ripped a hole in my box spring and tired to sleep in it...well she's done that to everyone's bed :( She loves to curl up on her pillow or blanket. I honestly do not know how she worked her way into those jeans but it def wasn't staged! She no longer has a doggie bed because she ripped all of the stuffing out. Once we gave her a pillow with a pillow case and she slept inside of it as if she had a bed. I love my Jenny, JLo, Juju bean, Genvieve, Jennifer, and shithead (all of the names we call her)! She is one of the sweetest and most entertaining dogs ever. It was great watching her grow from a puppy into a dog. I'm eager to find her a mate, but I'm not sure if she's ready.
