Over the last few years, I've developed a fondness for dachshunds, also known as ''weenie dogs'' or ''weinter dogs'', as they look like a hot dog with legs.
When I got married in 2003, my wife Janice had a weenie dog named ''Fritz''. He thought he was ''too sexy for his shirt''...but he was too fat. In fact, he liked green beans, but only if they were salted!! Sadly, we had to have him humanely euthanized in late August, 2005, as he had become diabetic, insulin resistant, and his excretory system was failing. Diabetes is quite common in older dogs, no matter what the breed.
However, we were able to capture a few pictures of Fritz while he was still with us...and we had a new weenie dog named ''Slinky''. Slinky always loved the Loofa Dog from The PetsMart Commercial...destroying them in under an hour!! To see the PetsMart Commercial with ''Bobo, The Loofa Dog, and Buddy, the brown dachshund, click here.
Unfortunately, due to the sudden, and untimely death of my wife, Janice, on April 27, 2007...I was forced to ''re-home'' Slinky...as I could no longer afford to care for him, or deal with him and the funeral arrangements of my late wife. Sadly, I'm afraid that I won't be able to have another dog, because of strict requirements on pets where I live.
Anyway, here are a few of the photos we got of Fritz and Slinky, with ''their thoughts'' on the situations. While Fritz was reddish brown, Slinky was black and tan, with silver dapple...we understand the dapple rarely occurs. Just scroll down to see the pictures.

1) ''Where's my driver? I wanna ride!'' -- Fritz loved riding on my wife's scooter.
2) ''If you go outside, I go with you!'' -- Fritz always loved to go for a walk.
3) ''Please pay the Guard Dog to use the toilet. Bun Wad (toilet paper) and underpads are not cheap''. Fritz loved to sleep on the underpads we had on the floor for him.
4) ''This is what you get for not paying the Guard Dog Toilet Usage Fee!!'' The first night we brought Slinky home, he decided my underwear was a nice warm bed.
5) ''What are you looking at??''. Slinky laying on my lap as I reclined on our Futon.
6) ''Give me my sock snake now!!''. Slinky wanting his sock snake.
