Dachshunds go better in pairs

 Well, we have had these two lovely ladies now for about three days now and are loving every minute of it.  Before they came along, I had two dachshunds, a male and a female that lived to be 12 and 14 years old respectively and definitely were a part of the family.  I spent the last eighteen months taking care of my daughter’s Jack Russell Terrier (or terror as the case may be) while she was stationed in Germany.  But now, she has been reassigned to Ft. Polk, LA and I was glad to return her dog back to her.  Anyway Dachshunds are very loving dogs and need to be either with their owner or another dog at all times.  Having two puppies at the same time can be a challenge as far as housebreaking  and teaching the rules, but the rewards are greater.  Watching them together is better than anything on tv.  When they eat, even though we have two bowls of food out, they have to eat from the same bowl.  When they play, you can have ten balls in the floor, but they want the same one and when they sleep, they are curled up together.  They are best friends not only with each other, but also with their owners and they are very loyal.
