Oh man - so sorry for your loss, Glen. 16 years isn't a bad run and I know she had a great life!

We had Doxies when I was very young. Fantastic breed!

An old pic of my oldest brother and our two....both short hair, one red and one black!

Sorry to hear of your pups passing, Glen. It isn't ever easy to lose them.

My wife has had dachshunds since she was a little girl. When we got married, she had a dachshund that lived to 18. The dog's name was Perry Porsche. And she was born 15 years before we met.

Karelian bear dogs being used in Lake Tahoe to manage the out-of-control bear population .... the GoPro vids would be interesting:

We have a hobby farm in that we have my wife's horses and donkeys and bale some hay for friends. On this farm we have two dogs. The first is a Border Collie. She is a natural fit for the place, chasing off coyotes and suspicious pheasants. The other dog is a York-tsu cross. She thinks she is a farm dog too. But unfortunately, it's the funny farm.

Cool! A stealth dog.
Actually, that image hurts my eyes.

Mia has become a little camera shy- notice how she shuts down her tail wagging. I talk to her all the time, but she's not sure what shanaghans I'm up to with the phone in her face.

Does Mia like treats? I suspect if she gets treats when daddy does weird stuff with that camera, her attitude might change.
The aforementioned "funny farm" dog hated the snap sound when her toenails were being trimmed. We dug out the clicker and treats. Now she comes running at the sound.

I'm charmed and happy with the coy game she's playing. I know she loves it. The tail starts up again as soon as I move back to her face. She (and the others) get a treat every night after dinner. Within 30 seconds- Mia is very good at reminding me immediately. They're Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic chew strips. 5 minutes of heaven for them.
