Lonely Daschund

RE: Lonely Daschund By swmnchef (Guest Post) I have a one year old mini named Fernando. I work long hours but, live across the street from my job so I can come home in the afternoons and walk him and give him his dinner...then off to work for a few more hours. Fernando really seems to hate being alone and won't play with his toys or even eat his treats while I am away. Another dog would seem like a good idea to keep him company. However, I have also recently read that if you don't have enough time for one dog, getting another is not the right solution. Would a cat help him get through his lonely days?

She has proper conformation, etc. But she'd been beaten. We gave her a proper home, but aside from that, she enjoys any company, really. Before we 'tamed' her, she used to sleep outside with the horses! Any animal companion for you mini would probably help.

Since we both worked, we got another "Max" in 1995. They were great buddies. In 2003, Midget got cancer and crossed the Bridge to Forever. The day she left, "Patty"-Maxes sister had litter, so we got Maxes nephew "Fritz". They, too, were great buddies. We have just found out that Max has inoperable cancer. We are already looking for a new companion for Fritz, because our experience is that they seem to develop stong bonds to one another.

I was fostering a cat for awhile and she really seemed to enjoy it. They played all the time and I wasnt worried when I was gone several hours at work. She is 2 now and for most of her life she has been the only animal in the house. Now that the cat is gone she seems more lethargic. What can I do to help her?

One of them got run over and other died of a broken heart. My sister now has 2 (a brother & Sister) called Monty & Bella. They are too cute, but they really do need canine company, even though my sister works from home, and has 3 girls. They need fellow mini Doxie Love.

My boyfriend and I are at school and work all day and Koda(our dog) is by himself. I want to get him a friend but I do not know if this is the right move. He is very spoiled and might get upset if we get another pet. When he was younger he lived with my parents for about 6 months and got along with their Boston Terrier and their cat, but now that he is older he has an "all about me" personality. What should we do? Posted on 09/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse need advice By Vickie (Guest Post) There are many aids for dachshunds and other doggies who have back problems, don't put him down!

Posted on 08/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Joanna (Guest Post) My mini-daschund has just had neuro surgery about three weeks ago and is going to see his surgeon this Monday. He seems to be doing fine and occasionally slumps. He is five years old and was brought up with two cats whom I loved both very much. However, they have both passed away now, my Oppie (cat) passed October/07. I still have to work and I hate leaving my Dante alone. He seems to get so depressed when I am gone. I want to get a companion for her but I don't know whether to get another lil dog or another kitten, or even if he will accept them. He is very protective of me and when I am home he is always with me wherever I go. Even goes out with me in the car and gets insulted when I leave him. In order for me to go out I have to tell him I am going to work. Or else he tries to get out the door. I would definitely appreciate some suggestions. Thank you.

Well that was a week ago and things are not better but she eats and drinks just fine and is in no pain. She drags herself around where she wants to go.

Posted on 02/03/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By liz soliz (Guest Post) Since she is a female try to give her a friend lik a a male dachshund or may be instead of buying another dog, have someone buy her from you that has male dachshunds or even girl dachshunds she can still hang out with them. I know this because I have two male dachshunds my self but only one can breed and his name is Scottie and he is a red haired if you have further questions you can contact me at sopita AT sbcglobal.net Posted on 02/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Katia (Guest Post) I have 2 mini dachshunds and they just love each other!

We have papers on her that say she is a miniature but she her size falls in the category of standard. Anyways, she is an older dog and started showing signs of depression. Her vet said her thyroid was low. We also ended up getting another dachshund to help keep her young. They get along great. Then we adopted a long haired chocolate dapple and he and my other young one love to play. Daisy, the older one, loves to watch them play and is glad they aren't jumping on her. Posted on 12/22/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By (Guest Post) hello, im cc,i m the very proud owner of a chihuahua daschund named lilie female and 2 yrs old. when she began to act lonely we started leaving our big wooden door open and screen door closed it helps a lot. she likes to watch animals, plants, too. she absolutely love spending time with my grandma's dog and her daughter sweat pea. she isn't lonely although i go to school with my brother and she is alone in the house with two baby turtles.in order to find a good companion find a dog that is compatible with your dog from knowledge, discipline, rank(top dog-follower)and also keep her personality in mind when getting our 2nd dog bandit we made the wrong choice and didn't go through that list, and they pretty much hate each other, but he lives outside. Posted on 12/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Crystal (Guest Post) I have a long-hair male who will be three in January named Mr. Snuggles. He is left at home when I am away, but my roommate has a Shi Tzu named Bubba. They are both males. They do get along for the most part, but since they are both males they struggle for the alpha position. I would just be careful because while they enjoy playing with each other, they also get very jealous of each other. As for the comment about the loss of a pet, I lost a chow/huskie mix that I had from the time I was 8 until I was 17. She was very old when she died, but her death was caused by being hit by a car. It is different for everyone, but when I lost Ebonie I couldn't even think about her without crying for at least a year. Looking at other dogs with their owners always upset me. I love animals and it took me several years before I could even think about getting another dog. Just be careful with your decision, and don't think another dog will replace the one you lost. Good luck! Posted on 12/06/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Dachshund By DeidreLee (Guest Post) Another Dachshund or a kitten. Worked for us. Posted on 12/03/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Miss Pat (Guest Post) Yes get her some company... if one year of ours is 7yrs for them... then while you are at work thats a long time for them to be on their own. My little Vikki has a little Chihuahua friend named Saffie and a big bullterrior/ridgeback named Mason.. and they all sleep and play together... they are not without their squobbles but they love one another and are great company for one another Posted on 10/23/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Broke Back-Wiener Dog needs traction By lynsey (Guest Post) i dont know where you live but i know of a place in fashion valley that sells little tiny socks for daschunds. i also have a daschund and i wanted to get them for her so bad, but she wouldn't have it. but they have little paw print rubber grips on the bottom of all the socks. they are very cute and they will fit any small dog. hope a helped a little. Posted on 08/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Sheraone (62) Contact I agree that your little doggie might love a companion. Dogs are such social animals. Even if they dont play together much I think it is just reassuring for them to know there is always another living breathing being in the house that they can be with. Back and hip problems are pretty common to daschunds because of their body shape. Every pure bred breed has one or two general health problems caused by selective breeding. Do some research before adding another dog to your home so that Brandy Alexis can feel that this is a positive thing happening.

I started noticing some depressing behavior from him i.e. sleeping all day long. We recently got him a friend half pom half daschund mix. They seem to be getting along great! It could be loneliness, for your dog....daschunds like alot of babying and attention (at least mine does!)

I have 2 "tweenies" (come on, ya'll know what I mean) Winston, red male, 8 yrs. old and 2 back surgeries and 80% range of motion in hind legs and Sophie, black and tan female, 7.5 yrs. old and 1 surgery and 100% complete recovery! Neither of them are overweight and have never been allowed to jump onto or from furniture - they both have a degenerative disc disease. That said, while Winston is the "cripple" one, he doesn't know it and is as happy-go-lucky, dominate, alpha as ever. I'm looking for socks for Winston, something with a rubber grip material on the bottom, for example. My floors are tile and while I've put rugs everywhere I can, he has a hard time getting traction on the tile floors and sometimes, when rounding that corner into the den, slips and falls on his behind. All of the products I find in the pet stores are too big for their little feet and crooked legs. Anyone have any ideas? Posted on 05/02/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Monica (Guest Post) I have two dachsies also. Their names are Stanley and Frankie. Frankie was just recently added to the family (saved from an abusive home) and is very skiddish..but is slowly coming around. Stanley has been with us for about 2 years now and is full of love. Both Stan and Frank adore each other and groom each other almost everyday. Posted on 01/09/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By dalear2005 (Guest Post) I also have a red female dachsund, Heidi, she is also alone during the day (being without us), but she spends it with our Scottish Terrier. I think it is always best to have 2 at all times, it keeps them company. Dachsund's are real "people" animals. Try to take her for walks and play with her when you are home, and just love on her all you can. Charish them always! Posted on 12/03/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By (Guest Post) I had the same thing! I got a 2nd One. Now I heve a black and a brown. They love each other. When one passes I think it will be real hard on the other one. I will try and send a photo of them. Thanks Julie Posted on 08/31/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By libby (Guest Post) Hello. My long hair, Molly, became very depressed when she fell ill. Definately take her to the doc. However, they do need company. My Molly loved our little shitzu mix. He liked to give her baths, and she always wanted more. They really truly loved eachother. I recently had to put her down. I'm devistated and don't know where to begin to heal. Do you believe another dog would help to heal the pain, or just cause more grief?

She got one for her birthday on August 7th last year and then another one in November. The first one is now much more active. But animals, like people, have different personalities. They are very different, but great company to one another. Posted on 08/02/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By Claudia (Guest Post) I also have a 10 yr old female long haired dachshund, Molly. Last December, I rescued a 5 yr old male longhaired dachshund (with seizure disorder, but controlled by meds)- named Doodad. He is great company for Molly while I am at work and I think he will keep her young and active. Here's a web address for Dachshund Rescue of North America....they were great! : www.drna.org There are so many unwanted animals in the world- Won't you think about rescuing one? Posted on 08/02/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lonely Daschund By coolchinchilla (24) Contact Could it be a health problem? Sometimes when a pet changes her usual behavior it might mean she needs to see the vet. I know that dachsies can get backaches easily for example. coolchinchilla Posted on 08/01/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
