All the Daily Dachshund and Dog News was able to uncover is that “Quack and Quacker were raised in a trailer park, so they know how to stand up for themselves pretty well.” That’s Quacker above.

The Daily Doxie would like to talk to both the director and the screenwriter about the ending.

It strikes the Daily Doxie that it’s still a bit early for Halloween, but the Google gods beg to differ. Search traffic is rising for Dachshunds in costumes and wiener dogs in buns, so for inspiration on this Monday morning, we’d like to present our past coverage of Halloween.

Beefcake Dachshund Calendar - Huzzah!
In the latest edition of our ongoing series on men’s men and their girly dogs, the Daily Dachshund and Dog News presents Ricky Alvarez photographed with his wiener dogs Mimi, Chico, Tina and Lucy. He and other local Miami business professionals posed with their pets around the Biltmore Hotel on Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010, for a calendar that will be sold to benefit the Miami-Dade animal shelters to prevent the need to euthanize the rescued animals. If you are interested in purchasing a calendar, please email Lisette Valdes, calendar founder, at lisettevaldes@yahoo.com.

Rolo the wiener puppy was taken by thieves who clearly didn't think things through.
It seems that Doxie thieves are not that bright, whether they are in Florida or across the pond in Shoebury, Essex where the” burglars next door” are believed to have opened an unlocked back door during the night and stolen 11-week-old Rolo, who is worth some £600.
The local newspaper, the Echo, reported:
Following a plea for help, the family received an anonymous tip-off from a person who told them the address of where tiny Rolo could be found.
Caroline, a mum-of-two, added: “When we got the phone call from the person telling us where the dog was living, it was just around the corner from us.
“We informed the police about the update, but they said it was not a priority. I was desperate to get Rolo back and one of my friends said he would go round and get her back for us.
Hmm, is there a trend here? The police in Britain certainly appear to be awfully lame when it comes to stolen pets.

Okay y’all, get your handkerchiefs out, it’s the 2011 Central Texas Dachshund Calendar featuring wiener dogs who had a “ruff” start in life, but were given a second chance to have a great life thanks to www.CTDR.org.
Here’s Mr. August aka Martin the diving star:
Want more? Go behind the scenes of a puppy photo shoot for the 2009 Central Texas Dachshund Rescue calendar. These four rescue doxies were the puppies of a pregnant Dachshund taken in by CTDR just a few days befoe she gave birth. Caring for pregnant mothers and newborns is very time intensive for Central Texas Dachshund Rescue volunteers. Pregnant rescues need even more love and nurturing to make them feel safe and secure, many for the first time in their lives. Thanks to CTDR all the pups from this litter were happy, healthy, and were all adopted into great forever families.
