46yo pain chronic and "cat lady" - but with dogs!
Lives in Denmark w deaf dachshund of 15 years (Basse) and a 2 yo basset (Eeyore) and dachspup Hundini from oct 2024. LOVES independent/naughty dog breeds, no-tear libs + trying to see the positives in life
Sad weekend in the cottage! Uncle BigBrother, Basse, passed away defiantly while waiting at the vet to be put to sleep. Dachshunds will never follow the rules!

16 years, 12 years being my best boy, and well enough to chase Hundini around the yard up until Friday. May he rest in joy! #dogsofbluesky

I can't WAIT for Hundinis teen period to be over!!!! In like 12-18 months time ... I've lost count of all the puddles of pee I've cleaned up and how much money I've spent on exploding dog beds!

Turning 16 is rough! Especially with all the guests, love and treats!

Luckily my boy was up for it and had the most amazing day. I was just happy that I wasn't suffering alone the next day, he looked like a major case of hangovers too!

It can be hard to relate to how bad American police is when all you know is the Danish police.

They just posted about a call about a dude burying a box in the state woods and went to investigate. It turned out to contain 6 Tuborg Easter brews and was a redneck beer fridge. They buried them again.

The "I stole your man and I have zero F's to give - but if you try to steal him back, I'll cut ya!"-look from Hundini after he lured Eeyore and me outside - just to run back inside and steal her spot with Uncle BigBrother!

Wire-haired to-be!

Look at my li'l man with his first beard coming in! 17 weeks old!

My little Hundini wakes up skinny every morning and then goes to bed as fat as a fois gras goose!

That's probably why he's growing so much that at 17 weeks he can't really be Basses little spoon any longer - but he'll squeeze in anyway.

His beard fuzz is starting to grow too!

DEAR CALIFORNIANS! I know you're a bit strung up at the moment but please consider sending a donation to this majestic plan for Denmark to buy California! Trust me, you'll love how that would go! This is a chance to get out of Trumps new Gilead!

Leaving my home for a bit is a challenge these days. Hundini is being trained for being at home as well as driving.

Today I took him with me to the auto shop since he seemed freaked out about being home alone yesterday. Eeyore is insanely bad at not having me with her ALWAYS and she's freaked

Basse and Hundini caught with their best beggars stare! No wonder I can't help but give in! Puppy magic and senior magic together is just too powerful!

The BEST part about being the adopted son of a basset??!!

Not only does she come with a heater function, her ears are also heated blankets and always present!

We won't be working on Hundinis table manners today ...

As predicted, he's gotten used to being in my dress/bra and is now demanding "upsies" when he wants to cuddle and nap and I'm fine with it. So fine, actually, that we're getting a baby/kangaroo pouch to carry him in, for now using a belt.

The one legged Bambi has visited!!!

A hunter gave the fur left-overs after flaying a deer and I've dragged it around the garden for the dogs to "hunt".

All three were VERY committed to the search and Basse soon pointed to the leftovers on the other side of the fence. Now tired! #dogsofbluesky

Got two new dog beds today.

Eeyore is picking the one closest to me, always.

But Hundini? Either this is the best of the beds OR he's snuggling up to her because she's in heat. Usually he naps closer to Basse.

Some days we all just need to stay in bed, being hugged by our best friend.

I lost a close friend today, suddenly and way too early. I've written a eulogy that has made more than 50 ppl cry extra hard today and still, I'm just numb.

Until I remembered his last visit. He was the first I asked if getting a third dog "early" to give Basse a bit of a break was a good idea.

"I live alone and only have enough hands to pet TWO dogs!"

Then get dachshunds and bassets! They'll pile up anyway and I can scratch four dogs just by sticking my hands into the pile and move them around a little! Sticking with three, though ...

My dogs are going to get sooooo fat!!! I just can't control myself when senior doggo Basse and his mini me, puppy Hundini, sit next to each other, both staring at me with their big hopeful eyes in the kitchen! Both black'n'tan wire haired dachshunds, both stealing my heart daily!

There's no happiness like when your independent puppy comes asking to be picked up. Not to be rescued from his over-eager basset mom but just because he'd like to snuggle on your chest again and perhaps sleep a little bit while getting cuddles!

Eeyore and me spending the last of new year alone in the couch, staring at the boys.

New Years shopping for the dogs went a bit crazy though Hundini was a wonderful and effective disturbance in the pet store.

Now we have a big bear, a medium bear and 3 small bears. OF COURSE Hundini went for the biggest one right off the bat! It's dead now, btw. RIP, BigBear.

I'm having a contest here: Which dachshund will cave first and go out in the rain? It's rigged since puppy Hundini has pee pads inside ...

15yo Basse has asked me to open the door twice and then noped out even w me saying "just get it over with, you'll dry fast in front of the fire" #dogsofbluesky
