living up to the doxie reputation

Affectionate, Lively, proud, clownish, stubborn, hard headed, curious, clever, mischievious: The Dachshund.

when they say stubborn, they mean stubborn. I saw seven dachshunds today at work (Petsmart) and spoke with the three pet parents, all three pet parents said that their doxies dont mind the snow, some even say that their doxies love it!! Apple hates the snow "dats right! itz to cold for meh feetiez!" I had even made sure that she would be warm by dressing her up in a sweater & a coat, and even snow resistant booties!!! She can be such a drama queen. haha. During the summer she loved going out in the grass and ran around like crazy!! I think she would do really well in the weiner races (more on that later). Sometimes she would even roll in stinky stuff "me luvz!". Since Apple wont pee outside (she refuses!!!) I caved in and bought her potty pads, and hoped that it wouldnt snow anymore... but when I saw the news tonight I was devestated when I saw that it may snow at least four more times in the next week!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. At least I'm prepared...
