Dachshund Love: Rosie and Jimmy Dean

Thanks so much to Lauren Miller for writing in with a beautiful photo of the new addition to her pack!  She pens:

Dear Joey and Rowdy,

Hi guys!  I've written in before about my son Jimmy Dean, on the right, and recently we've added to the family!! Jimmy wasn't too fond of the idea at first, but 3 weeks later you would never know! Rosie, left, is 13-weeks-old and loves her new brother! She's going to out grow him in no time! And they sure love to snuggle.

All About Cosmo

We love it when Dachshund Lovers detail their affection for their long dogs - whether writing in to us with stories and photos, or telling the world all about it in a video.  When we stumbled across jewellery designer Zina S. Sparling speaking so poetically about her beautiful boy 'Cosmo,' we had to share.  Unfortunately, the video was not available for embedding, but we contacted her, and she graciously agreed to let us post it.  So, without any further ado, and delivered with the graceful style of Dachshund Lover Ingrid Bergman, meet little 'Cosmo.'

If you're interested in lush exotic jewelry, with some pieces inspired by such luminaries as "Hitchcock, Tippi Hedren, and the ubiquitous, unique, and gorgeous Kim Novak," check out Zina S Sparling Jewellery.

Celebrity Dachshund Watch: Jennifer Aniston

Okay, so Jennifer Aniston isn't a Dachshund Lover in the sense that she has her own Dachshund dog, but she obviously loves this little red smooth pup.  And who wouldn't?  Via INF Daily:  Imagine this: you’re out for a morning stroll, walking your super cute baby Dachshund. Everything’s normal, sorta quiet, then all of a sudden there’s Jennifer Aniston, and she’s petting your pup. And taking his picture with her iPhone. Bam! Your day just got 90% more interesting than everyone else’s.

Can't argue that.

Oscar, The Blessed Dachshund

Bless ME!  Bless ME!

Dozens of dogs and even a few cats came out yesterday to the parking lot of Seton Catholic Central High School in Binghamton, New York, for a pet blessing in honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi.   Included in the pack was 8-week-old 'Oscar,' pictured above.  Excerpt from Press Connects:

The few dozen pet owners in attendance nodded in agreement when Father Amrhein talked about the importance of companionship and how much joy dogs and cats can bring into the lives of people. While there are medications people can take for most ailments, he said, there are things drugs cannot treat, but animals can.

"There's no real prescription for loneliness," Amrhein said.

Joe Becker of Johnson City knew just what the priest meant; his wife died in February. Becker brought his new friend, Oscar, to the blessing. An 8-week-old dachshund, Oscar has brought much happiness and plenty of energy into his house, Becker said. The impulse to bring Oscar into his family was just too great.

"I couldn't resist it," he said.

Wirehair Wednesday: Meet Caron!

Guten Tag!  It's Wednesday, and you're tuned in to www.DachshundLove.blogspot.com on your internet dial, and that can mean only one thing:  It's Wirehair Wednesday!  Thanks so much to Charity S. for sending in such sweet photos of her new furry friend, 'Caron!'  She writes:

Dear Joey and Maggie,

This is Caron.  He is an eleven-week-old chocolate and tan wire-hair puppy. He loves his "Long and Short of it All" reading already!  He lives with his brother, fellow Dachshund Amos who is 1-year-old.

Live! Truffles And Her One-Day-Old Puppies

Awwww.  Pretty little 'Truffles' is a chocolate long-hair that came into Midwest Dachshund Rescue already pregnant.

Truffles nor her pups are available yet, but MWDR has many more doxies, including pups, ready for adoption at http://www.mwdr.org/.

"Celebrity" Dachshund Watch: Snookie vs Nellie!

We first posted photos of everyone's favorite guidette Snookie with a Dachshund puppy a few weeks ago, and our readers, like us, weren't too thrilled thinking that the train wreck known as Snookie could actually properly care for a little furry one - much less a Dachshund.  Stop, take a deep breath, and relax, because the Dachshund in question, 'Nellie,' is owned by a shop keeper in Italy where the new season of Jersey Shore is being filmed.  Shew!  Excerpt from Teddy Hilton:

Snooki's Newest Feud!

We thought the cast of The Jersey Shore was getting along so well with their Italian friends.

But it appears that Nelly, the shop keeper's wiener dog who hangs near where the guidos "work," has started drama with the Shores' smallest cast member.

The dog stole Snooki's Pinocchio doll from inside the O' Vesuvio Pizzeria and chewed it and ran around with it before giving the nose a nibble - and Snooks look purdy pissed!

We hope there is a whole episode dedicated to this in the upcoming season.

We do too.

Gotta admit, this is too cute.

See lots of photos over at Teddy Hilton.
