The sugar substitute, xylitol, is very dangerous for dogs. A lot of sugerless gums use it, among other things. Go to the web page, and read the article for the info.
Please keep people food out of reach from your pets. They are like toddlers. They try to sneak a bite of whatever they can, whenever they can. I received an email about a lady's dachshund that got into a purse to get the gum!
Here's a Valentine's pic of Tansy, one of my babies that I sold last year. She's well loved and spoiled. http://www.avma.org/press/releases/061001_xylitol.asp

What's the favorite position for a Dachshund?
First it depends if there is food around. Then the sitting up on the rear is one of their favorites... to beg, of course. In the middle of your lap is another good one, or how about laying back in your arms, like a baby? If they can manage it, under the covers is always good. But my not-so-little female, Precious, loves to lay on her back, at this period of time. She thinks that means you HAVE to stop and rub her belly. And if you get a good look at her, you can tell she's going to pop soon.
Yep, she went into heat not long after my neck surgery. Anybody that's ever been around a dog in heat, knows how obnoxious it gets. It was not a fun or easy time for me! The boys and I kept yelling, "Go outside!!!!" And the dogs knew exactly what we meant. For those of you not having been around such things.......think of the obnoxious men and prostitutes in the red light districts. Yep, it's that ridiculous. But at least the dogs have an excuse; they can't control themselves. So my kids have grown up around raising chickens and dogs, and have grown up with the facts of life. At least it only last 3 weeks, 2x (or less) a year for a dog. Then we get to have PUPPIES!!!!!
But the love and devotion that a dachshund gives, far outway those few weeks of yelling, "Go outside!!!" So here's Charlie, and a pic of us together.
So those who have anything to say about me being old, fat, ugly, etc (because it's been said) Here's what I have to say....hahahaha, duhh.....geeze, I am 50! I've lived my life serving my Savior and my family the best I could, with what I had. You can judge me all you want , but you haven't lived my life, nor have you lived with my severe pain. And I wouldn't trade one moment of all the days I spent with my children, for another life. And now I have hope of being able to walk more than a block at a time, and walk I will...... the Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.
