If you're looking to watch a classic Christmas movie this year, one with say, oh, a <em>Dachshund</em> in it, look no further than <em>The Lemon Drop Kid</em> starring none other than Bob Hope, and introducing the world to a song none other than <em>Silver Bells.</em> That's right. 'Shelby,' 'Hope', and 'Scooby' write:<br />

<em>Dear Rowdy and Bette,</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Tis the season to be watching Christmas movies! We watched "The Lemon Drop Kid" with Bob Hope the other night and to our mutual amazement there is a very funny scene with a long-haired wiener dog in it! Perhaps you already know about this, but it took us by a nice surprise! The voice-over did not sound very like a Dachshund barking but we'll excuse them this considering how sweet a film it is.</em></span> </span><br />

<br />
<br />
Hold on to your seats Dachshund fans, looks like it's going to be a retro weekend here at <em>The Long and Short of it All</em>! Thanks so much to our good pal 'Trinket' for writing in about the 1962 American comedy <em>Bachelor Flat.</em> She pens:<br />
<br />
<em>Dear Rowdy and Bette,</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I recently stumbled on this while looking up some information about the holiday movie "Susan Slept Here" starring Debbie Reynolds. It turns out that the movie’s director remade the film as "Bachelor Flat" a few years later in the early 60s. One of the roles in Bachelor Flat is played by 'Jessica' the Dachshund. The whole movie isn’t on youtube, but this is a great clip of her and a dinosaur bone. What would a small dog do when confronted by a huge bone? Jessica, btw, is billed in the opening credits.</em> <br />
<br />
The plot, via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_Flat" target="_blank">Wikipedia:</a> <br />
A charming British anthropology Professor Bruce Patterson (Terry-Thomas) has to live with Helen Bushmill (Celeste Holm), his fiancée. Helen is away traveling, and has failed to tell him that she has a seventeen-year-old daughter Libby (Tuesday Weld), who shows up at her mother's home unaware that Helen is engaged. Meanwhile he has to resist the advances of the neighbourhood ladies who barge in unexpectedly. At the same time, Patterson must deal with the continual invasions of his cynical neighbor, and law student, Mike (Richard Beymer), who soon develops a crush on Libby. Intertwined in the story is Mike's persistent Dachshund, determined to bury the professor's prize possession of a rare dinosaur bone.
Director Frank Tashlin said he included the Dachshund as a satire on CinemaScope due to the dog's shape.
<br />
<br />
Better get this film on your must-watch list!
At the time <em>Variety</em> called it a "frivolous, farcical concoction" and credits much of the great comedy to the supporting cast. They added "The Dachshund, incidentally, is an accomplished low comedienne." Of course she is.<br />
<br />

Meet 'Adolph' and his Human, Stephen Sweeney, 1959</div>
<br />
<br />
Dear Gentle Readers,<br />
Please pardon our absence as of late, but we've had some family emergencies in the last few weeks and haven't been able to provide any updates. We haven't even been near a computer for weeks on end. Things are not good, although thankfully they are improving - Dachtober, so much to answer for.<br />
But today is Veterans Day 2013, and as we have done on Memorial Day and Veterans Day for all of our years here at <em>The Long and Short of it All,</em> we take time to honor those who served in the armed forces - and the Dachshunds who stood by their side.<br />
So let's head back to August 19th, 1959, where this handsome little War-Hero Dachshund-mix was honored with a gold collar as <em>Newsday's</em> Pet of the Year. Here's how it all went down:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Sgt. Adolph Sweeney, a distinguished "war hero," was called front and center again today - perhaps for the last time - to receive the accolade of civilian Long Island. Voters named him Pet of the Year in Newsday's annual Golden Collar contest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The 17-year-old Dachshund-Beagle, who suffers from serious heart trouble since an attack last March, apparently won the hearts of voters. They gave him more than triple the votes of his nearest competitor, the tiger-cat Mr. Peepers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Adolph, owned by Stephen Sweeney, a chauffeur of 30 Madison Ave, Franklin Square, New York, brought to this year's competition an exciting war record.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">He flew 39 World War II missions over Germany with his master, a veteran of the Army Air Corps. Adolph was presented with the same medals that Sweeney earned: the Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and other citations. As mascot of a B-17 Flying Fortress, he logged 800 hours flying time from bases in Italy, England, and North Africa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"But this award," said his master yesterday, "is the best. It gives me something awfully nice to remember him by."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In the last few years, Sweeney explained, Adolph's health has slipped badly. "He lost his hearing completely two years ago," Sweeney said. "Then that heart attack in March. He just won't be around much longer, that's all." Adolph's age is comparable to 84 years of a human life, it was estimated by a spokesman at Farmingdale Animal Hospital.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Largely on the basis of his dramatic story, Adolph was selected by Newsday judges as the sixth Pet of the Week. Then readers voted him Pet of the Year. He will receive a solid gold collar to mark this title.</span><br />

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of 'Weenie,' a troubled little guy who got the short end of the stick last week while incarcerated at the Harlington Humane Society in Harlington, Texas. <br />

Dressed as a dragon, Laura Price plants a kiss on the cheek of her knightly Dachshund, 'Henry,' before competing in the costume contest at the Aggieland Humane Society's Wiener Fest 2013 at Wolf Pen Creek in College Station, Texas, on Saturday, October 5th.<br />
The event, a fundraiser for the organization, featured live music, vendors, a 5k run, "wiener" and "Wanna be a Wiener" races and more.<br />

If you live in Houston, Texas, you won't want to miss the opening of Good Dog Hot Dogs later this month. Owners Daniel Caballero and Amelia Pferd have been operating out of a food truck for a few years, but are now opening a brick and mortar restaurant for their gourmet hot dogs on artisan buns. <br />
"But Rowdy and Bette, wait, are they Dachshund Lovers or are they just using our likeness as a gimmick?" Of course they are - the logo is fashioned after their own long dog named 'Olive Oil.' <br />
Dang, now we're hungry again and we just had breakfast 10 minutes ago.<br />

Will you look at how happy this little girl named 'Clementine' is? You'd think that after being attacked twice by a German Shepherd at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, that she'd let her happiness guard down a bit, but apparently not so for her. Both attacks required thousands of dollars of surgery to set her on the mend. <br />
Now Clementine's humans, Matthew Redding and his wife, Hoda Shawki, think that the same unleashed German Shepherd has attacked another small dog at the Experimental Farm last Friday, and they are wondering why city bylaw officers don't seem willing to do anything to stop it. <br />
