Gertie the Great Dane is moving to her home this Thursday!

Gertie is very cute but I fear she's going to be 'one of those' tall dogs. Don't worry, I'll show her who's boss!

Check out Gertie's blog here.

What's going on here then?!

2011-09-17T14:34:00.006+10:00

It's been a while since we said goodbye to Jasmine. We miss her so much. Secretly I do love being the only child - more cuddles, attention and getting that extra bit spoilt. No amount of attention could make up for having a friend around to use as a pillow, to talk to during the day and to make our family complete.

When Mummy & Daddy took me in the car to meet a new little retriever I wondered "what's going on here then?" when he got into the back of the car with me I knew something was going on!

This white fluffy bounding thing has come to live with us! His name is Jordan and he's a baby.....but he's bigger than me! I like snuggling up to him and going to sleep, just like a did with Jasmine.

It's nice. He can stay.

And one of me.....because I'm so adorable......and this is MY blog!

I'm little right?

My Nanny Di

2011-07-03T18:26:00.001+10:00

A lady passed away yesterday - she was my Nanny Di. She was my mummy's mummy.

I knew she was sick because mummy & daddy kept going to the hospital. Mummy was crying lots and daddy kept letting me up onto the bed.

Nanny Di would send messages for me like "give that black & tan thing a cuddle from Nanny Di".

The best thing my Nanny Di ever did was teach my mummy that dachshunds are the best dogs ever!

RIP Nanny Di x

We would like to thank everyone who offered their support on Saturday, what would have been Jasmine's birthday. The outpouring of love and support that was shown from our beautiful friends was very comforting.

We love that so many people understand how much she means to us. To say thank you, here is a Dachshund Cupcake (made from a Long Dog Recipe!)!

RIP Jasmine - "Just a dog"

2011-05-14T07:25:00.000+10:00

People have told me, 'lighten up, it's just a dog,' or, 'that's a lot of money for just a dog'. They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for 'just a dog'.

Some of my proudest moments have come about with 'just a dog'. Many hours have passed and my only company was 'just a dog', but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by 'just a dog', and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of 'just a dog' gave me comfort and reason to overcome the dark.

Those who think it's 'just a dog', probably also use phrases like 'just a friend', 'just a sunrise', or 'just a promise'. 'Just a dog' brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. 'Just a dog' brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of 'just a dog' I rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future. So for me and people like me, it's not 'just a dog' but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

'Just a dog' brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday others have the opportunity to understand that it's not 'just a dog' but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being 'just a woman'.

So the next time you hear the phrase 'just a dog', smile. You are one of the blessed few who understands.

RIP Jasmine - 14/05/98 - 17/12/10

I love.... Myself!

2010-08-26T08:39:00.002+10:00

I hope you haven't tuned out from my blog.

So much has happened and it's been a long time, especially in dachshund time. We moved to a lovely big house with a big lush backyard. Mummy and Daddy were very busy when moving, not too busy to give me lots of hugs of course but too busy to let me onto the computer to blog. Also Mummy was training for a very important race, the City2Surf and I'm so proud of her. My legs would have to move really fast for a long long time to run 14kms!

My blogging break meant I spent a lot of time sunbaking and relaxing with J in my new backyard. Ok, I do that regardless of blogging or not....

Then Mummy got a new MacBook which I haven't been allowed to get on - because it's new and shiny but it's also Mummy's new toy *sheesh*

I love my new house and you will be reading about all the new adventures I have here.

Lilli xx

A tribute to Hendrix

2010-06-19T12:33:00.000+10:00

I know about Doggy Heaven because my Mummy tells me about my Uncle Fritz and he went there a long time ago. Today a special friend has gone to Doggy Heaven. Hendrix is the fur baby of my mummy's friend Kelli-Ann. She is lovely and Hendrix has been very lucky to have her as her a mumma.

Hendrix was 14 and lived with his mummy for 11 years. He was a rescue dog just like me. Isn't it nice that we were rescued to be spoilt! We are very lucky to have such special mummas who love us and spoil us so much.
Hendrix will be very missed by his mumma (and siblings). Please go and give your mummies a big hug today.

RIP Hendrix.

A new career for me?

A scale replica of a former U.N. office in Geneva, Switzerland, will be constructed by Miller in the Melbourne Museum plaza, where it will remain for the duration of the 2010 Next Wave Festival. Each Saturday afternoon, this structure will play host to a meeting of the U.N.’s Commission on Human Rights, wherein all 47 of the national delegates are live dachshunds, or ‘sausage dogs’.

Dachshund U.N. is both a joyful and chaotic experiment, and a meditation on the utopian aspirations of the Commission on Human Rights, and our capacity as humans to imagine and achieve a universal system of justice. Audiences are invited to these exclusive live viewings of the operations of the Dachshund U.N., where 47 specially recruited dachshunds will engage in rigorous debate.

Trainer update

2009-10-26T17:45:00.002+11:00

A post by Lilli's Mummy

The training was was AMAZING! Within 5 minutes of the trainer (I'll call her G) arriving Lilli was already calmer. It's basically one word for everything and that is BAH! no using their name as a negative command (which I knew but we have both slipped into the habit of doing it) and even when they're relaxing you drop in a quiet bah! just to let them know you are the leader of the pack. Already it is working! I won't go into the techniques too much but we did the collar/lead training - getting her to sit beside me, stay, walk (free!) (which we've done before at school) and then we did the training on her waiting for me to walked through the door and gate first. The mental stimulation was so much for Lill that hers eyes were getting heavy he he

G also taught us how to stop her jumping on us when we want to cuddle on the lounge. Now Lilli has to be invited to come over to my part of the lounge.

G also wants me to take her off dry-food (I took her off canned food a few months ago on the advice of another dog trainer - all the advice out there is so confusing!) she said it can contribute to making dogs anxious. G also said not to use bowls but just scatter the food out into the backyard. This will solve the problem of Lilli fighting Jasmine over food. So far so good! So it's fresh fruit and vegetables and meat for Lill now (she already has chicken necks and sardines). I'm willing to give this a go if the outcome is a calmer dog! Today I've introduced her to carrots, celery, apple (she's had all of those in small amounts before). Now it's raining but I guess she just has to eat it all up before it gets too wet!

In the car yesterday she only sooked a little twice and both times I sent BAH! and she stopped. We've just done some homework and she was a very good girl. I man and a dog walked past across the road and she turned her head and watched them (maybe she could only see the man, although she would've have barked at him) I said BAH! and she didn't move (we were in the sit/stay position) A-MAZING!

G was here for 2.5 hours and I am so in awe of my new and improve little Lilli. For those of you who know me you will know Lilli is my life, I love my little sausage to bits!

Fatty dachshund

2009-10-21T20:48:00.002+11:00

Mummy sometimes calls me Fatty Dachshund, it's just a term of endearment (so she says). Last week Mummy bought Wii Fit Plus which has a new feature to weigh pets.

Now we have both discussed how I could've have put on a bit of weight because I don't get to go to the park and run around with the other doggys due to my feral behaviour (3 more sleeps til the trainer comes!). We were a bit surprised when Mummy picked me up to weigh me and I've gain 2 kilos!

Mummy has lost weight - looks like I've found it.

Lucky I am gorgeous though and carry it well.

All aboard for training.....TOOT TOOT!

2009-10-12T20:45:00.003+11:00

No not that train silly! Training!

Mummy has booked a trainer. Tells me she's going to show us who is the boss. Well, we know who is the boss in this house.

Training is booked for the 24th. I will keep you posted.

Watch this video and see how dachshunds run! But what happened to this dachie - he looks like me but did his mummy spill bleach on him?

10 things I love about my Dachshund

2009-09-25T20:48:00.003+10:00

A post by Mummy:

10 things I love about Lilli the Dachshund (in no particular order)

1. Snoring Lilli. She does the tiniest little snores. Lilli only seems to only snore when she falls asleep on the lounge at night while I'm watching TV.

2. Sunbaking Lilli. Lilli loves to sit in the sun but especially in the front yard (as Lilli has blogged about here).

3. Toast Lilli. When I give Lilli a cuddle after she's been napping she smells of toast. It's a very special smell, it's just toasty and warm.

4. Bathroom Lilli. Even if I shut the door she will nudge it open and will want to jump up on me. Annoying sometimes but to be honest I would miss it if she stopped!

5. Shower Lilli. When I have a shower Lilli will sit on the bathroom mat and wait for me; it's probably the one and only time she sits still and does nothing. Then when I get out of the shower she puts her front paws up on the edge and licks the water.

6. Comfort Lilli. Before going to sleep Lilli will 'paw' at her bed or blanket to get it just right. It's comforting to me before I go to sleep because I know that she is comfortable and about to go off to Dachshund sleepy land.

7. Best friend Lilli. Seeing Jasmine and Lilli together warms my heart. When they see each other for the first time they bounce around. Whenever they nap together Lilli always has to touch her bum to Jasmine's bum.

8. Pokey Tongue Lilli. Sometimes Lilli falls asleep with the littlest bit of tongue sticking out.

9. Cuddles Lilli. I think one of Lilli's favourite things is cuddles! Sometimes if we're awake a little early I will lift her up onto my bed and we'll have a bit of cuddle time (okay it's more like a time of Lilli trying to get under the covers; then when she realises she won't win that battle she will then nuzzle my hand for a pat; then she'll finally settle into nice cuddle time).

10. Hometime Lilli. Coming home to Lilli is one of my favourite times of the day. I peak out the window and see a little black bottom and then as I open the door that little bottom hits the deck so fast (she knows the screen door won't be open until she sits!).

I love my little Lilli so much.

I ♥ Dust Storms

2009-09-23T18:13:00.005+10:00

In Sydney today there was a huge dust storm so Mummy left me inside the house all day. I was very well behaved and did no twinkles inside. When Mummy got home all that I had done was flip my bed over (I like to sleep on the 'other' side). Does this mean I will be allowed to stay inside everyday?

Share my bed

2009-09-21T21:13:00.003+10:00

Even though there are two beds for Jasmine and I.....why would I want to sleep in my bed alone when I can cuddle up to my best friend.

Mummy's dachshund dilemma

2009-06-22T20:13:00.003+10:00

How would I feel if Mummy got another puppy?

Is there room in this house for another VIP?

Mummy saw an ad for a mini tan dachshund puppy - free to a good home.

At least with a puppy brother in the house I could boss someone around. I wouldn't be at the bottom of the doggy order anymore.

.....but then again I think I want my Mummy all to myself....

Mummy just hopes that the little puppy finds a nice home to go to :(

I love ham!

I made my own doggy door last week! I am so clever. Mummy wasn't happy though - can't think why....

Whoooooo's been sleeping in my bed?!

This is my best friend Jasmine, the Golden Retriever. She likes sleeping in my bed.

Jasmine was 11 the other day. Happy birthday J!

Nudie Rudie

2009-05-17T16:08:00.002+10:00

I'm a nudie dog - I don't like clothes. Mummy tried, especially when it gets cold, but I pull them off. I shake, squirm, nuzzle, cry and do everything I can to stop Mummy from dressing me.

Mummy showed me this video today to show me how pretty I could look in a nice dress. Obviously Mummy needs reminding that I look pretty just as a Nudie Rudie dachshund.

PS: this dachie is a miniature, I am longer. I also have different markings on my face (ie I am cuter)

Thank you Ali - and you are right! I am little.....and beautiful he he xx

Everybody ♥'s today

2009-04-23T13:01:00.002+10:00

Today I am spending the day with my Mummy (she's still on holidays!) and my best friend Jasmine. We had a play out in the backyard and now we're snoozing.

I ♥ today!

Just a reminder....

Update for the birthday list....

2009-04-14T18:34:00.002+10:00

I would like to add this to my birthday list....please

We may be in a recession, but for some animal lovers - nothing is good enough for the pampered pet. That includes a multi-million dollar diamond necklace. The Daschund in the photo is wearing a necklace that is worth $3.2 million.

Holiday!

2009-04-06T20:29:00.004+10:00

Next week Mummy & I are going on a holiday!

We are heading to Oma & Poppy's place out in the bush - even though they have gone on holidays themselves.

I love it at Poppy's house because I have lots of room to run around, there is lots to sniff and Mummy and I can sleep/relax a lot.

Here are some (naked) pics of me enjoying Poppy's place at Christmas time.

Spot the Dachshund in the vegie garden!

Birthday Countdown

2009-04-01T21:11:00.003+11:00

Hello Doggy Bloggers

Mummy has been hogging the computer so I haven't been able to get on to update my blog.

The countdown to my birthday is now on - 30 more sleeps - so Mummy asked me to make a list of things I might like:

♥ a year's supply of 4Legs
♥ a new bed (select dark chocolate colour)
♥ a new coat perhaps
♥ I can never have enough chew toys

♥ or just a day with Mummy, Jasmine & her Daddy xx

Uncle Fritz

2009-03-19T17:58:00.003+11:00

Today Mummy has told me a lot about my Uncle Fritz because today is the day, 27 years ago, that Mummy was given Fritz by her grandparents.

Today is St Joseph's Day and after celebrations at Mummy's school (ironically including a sausage sizzle), Mummy went to her grandparents place and her Mummy told her there was a surprise there! When Mummy went outside there was Fritz waiting for her! They were never sure how old Fritz was because they rescued him but they think he was about four.

We don't have many photos of Fritz, only a grainy photo but Mummy has told me a lot about him. He was a black and tan smooth just like me. He could sit and beg for treats. His favourite food was Coon cheese and his best friend was Ben the chihuahua (Nanny's dog).

Mummy wanted a miniature poodle but got a dachshund instead - how lucky was that?!

To buy or not to buy?

2009-03-12T19:26:00.001+11:00

I think Mummy should buy this for us.

Delta update

2009-03-03T18:52:00.002+11:00

Mummy enjoyed her training day with Delta the other day. She got to hear about lots of other doggies who visit people and make them feel better. She also got to meet other like-minded crazy dog people.

We should start visiting a nursing home near us within the next couple of weeks. I'm super excited as I'm going to get lots of pats, hugs and attention.

Love & pats

Delta (not Goodrem)

2009-02-26T17:50:00.004+11:00

I have very exciting news!

Mummy is going to training on Saturday so we can get started on our Delta charity work.

I am very excited because I know I'll get lots of attention and pats. Mummy says that I'll make lots of people happy which is good too!

New house update

2009-02-26T17:41:00.006+11:00

Hi Pups & Peeps

I am really enjoying my new house and backyard. There is lots to explore in the back and front yards and a big house to run around in! Just means I am tired a lot now so I just want to snuggle up on my Mummy and snooze.

I ♥ Mummy

2009-02-19T18:47:00.001+11:00

....and she ♥'s me
