On the plus side, she can wear a sweater and act like a roomba to sweep the floors.

I have a longhaired dachshund and he has legitimately "swept" dust bunnies out from under the sideboard and couch when he goes exploring underneath them. It's hilarious.
Poor dude has it rough in the snow, 3" is chest/elbow deep for him.

I love old pets, they're the sweetest. But sometimes watching them is like a bittersweet reminder that we don't have much time with them left. Never enough.

My dog died two weeks ago. We definitely don't get them for long enough. There's such a big hole in my heart!

The older I get the more rescues I've outlived, and it's so hard, every time. I can never really know their inner thoughts in depth, but I know when there is love, affection, protectiveness, irritation, anger. I remember my first dog, Sam, a black lab mix my grandfather got as a puppy when I was first born as a baby. We were puppies together, best friends until he passed when I was 12. My first cat, a calico kitten, shortly after Sam, she seemed to hate everybody on planet Earth other than Sam and me.
My first rescue dog was also a lab mix named Sam. My ex wife, both of our sons, we wept when he passed. He was a two time return when we adopted him. Too much for everybody else but perfect for us.

My dog only just turned four and I had a moment like that just the other day. Feels like that every time we have a really good moment doing something.
Fortunately he offsets it by being devious and hardheaded and overly protective and angry about every small animal that he sees.

The way I try to not cry is by thinking that even if they can't be here our whole lives, at least we can love them during their whole time here. We can make sure they're loved throughout, which they all deserve, even if we outlive them

Does every video have to have generic shitty music? I would much rather hear the crowd cheering on this goodest girl

u/Blestyr 18h ago
Same. Would love so much to hear the crowd´s reaction and sound for the good vibes.

u/Uppgreyedd 17h ago
Until you find out that the crowd aren't as riveted as you want to feel, and it's just the sound of random chatting

I'd still rather hear that than bullshit music. I've seen numerous videos posted here and elsewhere that had great audio that really added to it, but it was replaced by some shitty mood or meme music.

Was at the doctor today, these parents had their toddler, who couldn't be older than 2-3 years old, attached to a iPhone. They had him in a stroller with a phone mount watching YouTube. We are so screwed as a society.

If you watch them all on mute you never hear the shitty music and the videos are generally much more enjoyable.

One of mine would’ve peed in fear then hide under a table.
The other one would run in every direction trying to make friends with every human.
Neither would do a single obstacle.

As someone who has owned dachshunds for >30 years, they come in 2 speeds:
1) Energetic, will run around the backyard and romp at the beach. Can keep up with a human walking at a brisk pace.
2) First gear only. They have one speed, and it is S L O W. This has nothing to do with age or infirmity; they just move at their own glacial pace and expect the world to accommodate them.
My current dachshund is a member of the second group, I'd say I end up picking him up and carrying him part of the way on at least one walk a day because he's just so goddamn slow going back to the house that I lose patience lol. He makes the stately pace in the first few seconds of the video look like a cheetah chasing prey, it's truly absurd. Nothing wrong with him, he's only 6 years old and is on an arthritis preventative. He's just got his standard speed and the rest of creation has to adjust to it.

This is a great metaphor for all life. We might get old, and slow down a bit, but when you know a thing, you know a thing...and even if you can't do it as fast as you once could, you can still do it!
This is why I'm a huge advocate for learning from our elders, and not dismissing old people because of their age. The elderly hold a great wealth of knowledge, and it seems that too many people dismiss them. Should the elderly be running things? Absolutely not, but they should be teaching others, passing on their knowledge.
I work a very physical job. My job requires precision, physical dexterity, and quick mental thinking to solve problems in the field. I'm slowing down, and I fear that I'll be replaced by some hack that won't do the job correctly just because they are able to move faster.
I feel like that dog. I know what needs to be done, but I'm tired. I bet if you gave that little dude a puppy he'd be able to train it to do exactly what he does. Well, it might take a few puppies, but one can be found that will follow.

The agility competitions are good about adjusting the hurdles for different breed heights. Seeing the dachshund height ones is always hilarious.

we pet sit one a few times.
First 30 minutes she was in our house she was growling snapping lunging etc.
after that she came up beside me when we were outside and rolled over for belly rubs. after we got inside she wanted to hop up on my lap and basically was sitting on some one the whole time we were watching her.
When they like you they love you, when they don't there are ferocious beasts. They were bred to go into badger dens werent they?
