He's a one year old dachshund named Chuk:
Got him from a couple who had adopted him but turned out the husband is allergic to dogs. He's already a stellar dude, still learning Jhis name but is playful and loves to cuddle. Since I work at home I'm stoked to have a buddy chillin with me during the day. Plus he doesn't bark at all which is awesome.
wow looks super entitled already. does he expect to continue this behaviour throughout his stay? dont want to generalize, but it doesnlt look like hes coded a line of perl in his life. put him to work writing content if you have the same inter-household rules i have.
Sorry, but you're an absolute fool if you think any dog "snaps" for no reason. Dogs who are socialized properly are not prone to having temperament issues, and that's especially true for American Pit Bulls (and all Bully breeds), as they're excellent around kids and were once known as Nanny dogs. There's more APBT's used for therapy dogs than any other breed. Why, because they're evil? Makes sense.
Anyone who believes otherwise is a media fool who has never been around a truly socialized dog. I have owned many APBT's in my life and can tell you that NO APBT is born vicious.
The only reason they're more dangerous than other dogs is that their jaws and physical abilities are above most dogs, and so many idiots have bred them to be mean.
The APBT was once the "American dog" and the face of the Marines, yet dog fighters and foolish people who spread propaganda have destroyed millions of these great dogs, and caused city-wide bans, resulting in millions of dogs being killed for NO reason.
Stop spreading propaganda.
There is but one thing that can wipe the smile off my face whenever I see a dog: that dog wearing clothes.
dchuk, how could you? Why would you?! Leave the canine dress-up shenanigans to the female folk.
Sigh. Poor thing.
yeah I bought him a ramp for my bed and am working on training him to only use that. Our couch is fairly low to the ground so jumping up and down to that isn't too crazy, might still get a little box or step for him for out there too since he likes to sleep next to me while I'm on the couch.
Nice friend you got there buddy, but I don't see why you had to embarrass him like that, though.
Taking a picture of your dog hugging a phallus-shaped furry thing in his sleep, probably hinting to the fact that he's gay, is not aaaight.
You're just one step away from this:
lulz. dachshunds were bred originally to catch badgers (hence the weird body shape) so a long badger-like toy is right up his alley.

this made me lol. I'm going to be dressing him up for his favorite team on game day, not some foofy girly stuff. Might even do some eye paint
congratulations! Dogs are really man's best friend. They are better companion that my girlfriend! lol!

I have been curious about having a dog but I keep thinking it might annoy me if its all needy.
The whole a man's best friend idea is intriguing, having a perma 3 year old in a house is not.
All the positives outshine the negatives.

it's all in how you raise it. Some dog breeds are super loyal and need to be around you at all times, but even then it's endearing at most as long as you train it correctly and make sure it's not an annoying pet.
Most shitty dogs are because of their owners neglecting them.
