Wiener Racin'
It's our favorite time of the year - Dachtober! - and all the Dachshund events are in full swing around the country and the world. We're not so sure where these Wiener Races were held, but the light-hearted video will kick off your week with a smile. By vimeoer Backyard Auter who notes: After breakfast today I saw a bunch of people walking dachshunds around downtown. I was informed that it was an annual wiener dog race. I quickly drove home and grabbed my GH2 and came back to catch the action.

Inspiration On Wheels
Via CBS out of Dallas-Fort Worth: They are inspiration on wheels. Two handicapped recruits to a Dallas rehabilitation program are providing the kind of hope and encouragement nobody else can. They do that without saying a single word.
Excellent.

Thanks so much to Derek Prowse for sending in this video of his beloved 'Tater' enjoying the sand and surf. He writes: Tater and I live on the west end of Panama City Beach, Florida, and in this video, we kayaked over to Camp Helen State Park on a lovely calm day on the gulf.

Celebrity Dachshund Watch: Jennifer Aniston
Okay, so Jennifer Aniston isn't a Dachshund Lover in the sense that she has her own Dachshund dog, but she obviously loves this little red smooth pup. And who wouldn't? Via INF Daily: Imagine this: you’re out for a morning stroll, walking your super cute baby Dachshund. Everything’s normal, sorta quiet, then all of a sudden there’s Jennifer Aniston, and she’s petting your pup. And taking his picture with her iPhone. Bam! Your day just got 90% more interesting than everyone else’s.
Can't argue that.
Oscar, The Blessed Dachshund
Bless ME! Bless ME!
Dozens of dogs and even a few cats came out yesterday to the parking lot of Seton Catholic Central High School in Binghamton, New York, for a pet blessing in honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. Included in the pack was 8-week-old 'Oscar,' pictured above. Excerpt from Press Connects:
The few dozen pet owners in attendance nodded in agreement when Father Amrhein talked about the importance of companionship and how much joy dogs and cats can bring into the lives of people. While there are medications people can take for most ailments, he said, there are things drugs cannot treat, but animals can.
"There's no real prescription for loneliness," Amrhein said.
Joe Becker of Johnson City knew just what the priest meant; his wife died in February. Becker brought his new friend, Oscar, to the blessing. An 8-week-old dachshund, Oscar has brought much happiness and plenty of energy into his house, Becker said. The impulse to bring Oscar into his family was just too great.
"I couldn't resist it," he said.

Homecoming
He sniffs my gloves suspiciously,
For I have been away -
His nose is telling him I saw
Another dog today.
"It's all right, Loki," I explain,
"I patted him it's true.
But I was faithful, in a way,
He was a Dachshund, too!"
by Lee Avery for the American Dachshund magazine, October, 1972.

"Woman Punching Black Bear" Story Goes Viral
Brooke Collins of Juneau made headlines this week after she punched a black bear in her yard to save her dachshund Fudge from the bear’s grip.
Collins’ name has been on newspapers and websites. ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, Huffington Post and NPR are just a few examples. Radio stations from Anchorage, Seattle, Chicago and others have been asking to interview her. Even large metro papers like the Miami Herald and The Washington Post have picked this up.
Besides news sites, several dog-themed websites have been on the story as well.
The next stop could be national television. CBS has contacted Collins about bringing her to New York with Fudge and her boyfriend, Regan O’Toole, who was at the house when the incident took place.
In fact, the network is interested in this story with more than its news shows. “The Late Show with David Letterman” has also contacted Collins. She’s returned the inquiry and is awaiting a response.
We certainly hope she brings her handsome boy 'Fudge' with her! Read more at the Juneau Empire.
New Dachshund Goods From Naked Decor
On the top of the couch we spy the colorful new Dachshund Silhouette Pillow, which is a whopping 19"L, 10"T, 3"D. Reminiscent of Waldi, the First Olympic Mascot, this new version will brighten up your home, and won't cost as much at $45.
Next - add some humor to your couch with the Little Dachshund Balloon Pillow. Measuring in at 18' x 18", the print is both sides as shown. We're guessing that means you gotta purchase two @ 49.95 each for the full effect.
Dachshund Lover Punches Bear To Save Her Dog!
Brook Collins holds her dog, Fudge, at her home on Tuesday. Collins punched a black bear in the snout after the bear attacked Fudge on Sunday.
What are those words in the AKC Dachshund Breed Standard - courageous to the point of rashness - yes, that's it. Apparently those words not only apply to Dachshunds, but Dachshund Lovers as well! Meet 22-year-old Brooke Collins and her beloved red smooth 'Fudge,' who hail from Juneau, Alaska. Miss Collins let Fudge outside to do his business about 7:30 PM on Sunday night and he started barking immediately - “the most horrible sound in the world” said Miss Collins. Excerpt from the Juneau Empire:
Collins said when she looked outside she saw a bear was crouching down with Fudge its paws and was biting the back of the dog’s neck.
“That bear was carrying her like a salmon,” she said.
She said she almost instinctively went up and did the first thing she thought of. She punched the bear’s face and scooped away her dog when it let go.
It all happened too fast to really think about but she had flashes of hearing about how some animals will back off from a punch to the nose, she said.
“It was a stupid thing but I couldn’t help it,” she said. “I know you’re not supposed to do that but I didn’t want my dog to be killed.”
Fudge suffered some claw and bite marks which weren't deep and required no medical attention, but he will be taken in to the vet if they become infected. Read more at the Juneau Empire.
