"The stress of being owned by a dachshund. (IVDD version)

You haven't truly known stress until you've tried to stop an ivdd dachshund from doing literally.......anything fun.

"Don't jump!" you cry - as they leap off the couch like a tiny torpedo.
"Take it easy!", you plead - as they zoom past you like they're training for the Longdog Olympics.
And that sigh when you pick them up instead of letting them climb the stairs?.... Oscar-worthy.

🫣 Did they just trip? Was that a wobble?

Our homes are now fortresses of ramps, soft landings and "jump blockers" made from whatever we could find.

We can lift 6-9 kg of sausage in one arm while making coffee with another - because, we are professionals now.

But for all the grey hairs and minor heart attacks, we wouldn't trade our long, stubborn, fearless little dictators for anything!

Here's to all the amazing IVDD doggie parents, living in constant chaos, powered by love, coffee, and sheer dachshund determination!"

Our proud little Creature Comforts mascot Bhalu, showing us how it's done.
