Y'all got any hounds worth a hoot?
Cats... well... who cares? 
Anyways, just wondering what you fruitcakes have 
mine: This is Junior (chocolate male) and his sister Sheeba (black female) when they were about 5 months old. Litter of 3 (2M, 1F) will be 2 years old April 10... 
This is Junior about 4 months ago at roughly 90 lbs. 
(about a month ago) Now he is 114 lbs. Little Boy, his black brother at the same time weighed 104 lbs. Sister is 90 something lbs. They decided my perfectly good basketball was for them. Only for them.
They come from an AKC blood line (3 generations ago sire was some kind of champion or something). These guys' dad was 110 lbs healthy weight and their mom is about 80 lbs. and a bit chubby. Had to put the dad (Sawyer) down on New Year's Eve night... Sable, the mom, thinks she deserves to come and sleep inside in my room every night or else she will bark all night as a reminder of why I bring her in

Look at this way, if it can continue to find cat shit, you will live another day. 
Here's my son's two dogs that I dog sit every once in a while. Both are huge pains but sure are a lot of fun. 
Here is the greatest dog I ever had. I miss her still after 18 years. We had her cremated and placed in an urn to be buried with me or my wife, whoever dies first. You can really get tied up with dogs and I'm a little too sentimental to have another one full time. 
That picture was taken in 1985 or so. I actually bought my pit bull Katie off of a retired Marine Colonel going seminary at OCC in Edmond. Every man or boy should have a dog as good as her. |

You should know better than dog sitting a dachshund, those suckers just love to poop or piss on the carpet just for onryness. |

The dachshund is a little better than the silkie terrier in that kind of behavior. I really don't have any trouble with them but my son does sometimes. I went over to the lake house to visit with him, put both mutts outside, watch them take care of business, then brought them inside. We walked outside to discuss a project we have going. We weren't outside but a few minutes. When we came in, one of the mutts had pissed on the tile floor. 
I suspected the dachshund cuz she is spiteful like that sometimes. I drop kicked both of them out the back door and pissed my son off for being too rough on his babies.
When I let them back in a half hour later, they both crawled up on my lap instead of his.
He still doesn't understand what the alpha male role is even after I explained it to him. Sometimes you have to be a bit mean to dogs to emphasize you are in charge. But you're right about dachshunds. I wouldn't buy one but I wouldn't take a million bucks for either one of those little bitches my son has.

I think that is one reason I loved my pit Katie as much as I did. We had a few go a rounds, one of them pretty damn hairy. She growled at me when I told her to get off the couch one day. When I went to kick her off, she snapped at me. I picked her up with a hand under her collar, then preceded to beat her severely with my fist, her scratching and snapping the whole time, my wife screaming at me. I threw her out the back door lumped up pretty badly. My wife kept me from shooting her right then. I'm glad I didn't.
When I let her in the house a couple of days later, she was all over me, licking my feet, my hand, etc. We never had a problem after that. She was the most loving dog I've ever had, protective of my wife and boys when I wasn't home. Best dog with small kids I ever saw. The wolf pack instinct of the alpha male and alpha female exists in all dogs. All dogs seek to be the alpha in their pack/family. I don't care if it's a rottweiler or yorkie. You've got to establish who's the boss. Sometimes it's not pretty when it happens. And you sometimes have to remind them. You gotta love most mutts. But that doesn't mean you don't have to discipline them. I don't ever want to do to any dog what I did to my Katie again. Or shoot one. But I will if I have to.

My Vietnam Vet buddy from church and his wife, who live out by the T-bird, have Scotties, about 6 or 7 of them. They keep them close and cuddly as back hard/house dogs. Then there's the big one. They've got a Central Asian Shepherd, probably weighing in at about 140-150 and she's still got growing to do... This this stands up on the fence and she's over my head! My buddy wants to fence off the property and let her have free roam of it at night. She's a big old guard dog for sure.
I go over there every couple of weeks to have dinner, help fix something he needs help with, and talk guns, prepping, and TEOTWAWKI stuff. He's an ex-Army ranger, Green Beret, SF, helicopter pilot, and after he got out, he flew choppers for years and years fighting fires and medi-flight... They've lived everywhere. UAE, Germany, etc etc, can't remember the smaller ones off the top of my head. But he used to run&gun in SF with a suppressed grease gun. He lit up when I showed him my suppressor and started talking about that kind of stuff. Stories upon stories in this guy. I love hanging out with them.

Will miracles never cease?
Post some pics of those Scotties if you can.  I like those dogs.
Westland High Terriers are another breed I like. |
