    Down here in S. FL, everyone calls them Weiner Dogs. :innocent: Still cute little pups.

    We call them wiener dogs too but there are actually people who think dachshund is pronounced "dash-hound." :dizzy:

    My dad, having been German and raised with Butch (his dog, his DOG! :unamused: ) , he pronounced the breed as Dasch-HUND. A bit Col. Klink-y, but right on.

    Most people in the states will call them dash hounds.

    I took German in college and learned that dachshund means "badger dog." They were used to hunt badgers and would follow badgers down into their burrows. Today's trivia topic. :glasses:

    Yep, dad was correct. I grew up around a neighbor "lady" from Germany. She had 3 of those little suckers. She made sure you knew how to pronounce the name. I used to get under her skin by asking here how are the wiener dogs doing today. Good thing she liked me, or she probably would have slapped the crap out of me.

    Cool history lesson. The Yorkie was developed to go after rats at first. then people used them to hunt badgers and foxes underground as well.

    So, Brandi goes back to get her cast/splint changed later today. Any guesses as to what color she'll get today? Unless they change it up to a different style of cast. I think it's next week, they said they'd probably go with some sort of soft cast though.

    Got back from the Dr with Brandi, they said she was doing well and put a softer cast/splint on her. Next week, they said they'll put a even softer one on. Then the week after that, she has to have a x-ray done. Poor little dog having to go through all this. :frowning: Well, the color of the week is Pink.

    Pink goes nicely with her cone. Although I was hoping for blue or mint green. :tongue:

    Yep, mint green would have been a nice change. Oh well, your correct, the pink goes well with the cone. It's reversible, so, I put the solid Pink on her today, to contrast with the cast.

    Plus that lovely lavender bed inside her white pen! That has to be the classiest ex pen I've ever seen.
