I recommend getting a harness too - dacshunds can slip a regular collar way too easily. Also, a dog who is scared will appreciate a kennel (leave the door open) with a soft cushion to hide in. I had a rescue poodle once - he had no sense of heights and broke his leg trying to jump down from too high up. A really timid dog will take a while to socialize.

Help! Help!! Desperately need DOGGIE help!!! Help with a doggie!!!!
by ziddina ini hope this is the correct category..... since pets are kinda sorta like "family", anyway..... a friend of mine (who lives about 25 miles away, in the center of the city) recently lost her beloved six-year-old spayed female daschund doggie under very tragic circumstances.. her other dog, an eight-year-old neutered male daschund, has been inconsolable since her loss.
so my friend decided to adopt another small dog - a spayed female daschund - one that was rescued from a breeder..... this poor little dog has lived in a cage for her entire life!!!
all six years of her life - in what was, in effect, a doggie concentration camp.... she is not "socialized" in any way, shape or form.

Think about this as well, when I have to travel for work I am given a flat per mile allowance and a flat per day meal allowance. It is my choice whether to drive a car that gets 40 miles per gallon or one that gets 10 miles per gallon. So, if I choose to drive an economical car and eat cheaply, should I refuse to accept the standard reimbusement amounts? Should a politician refuse to accept government paid travel if there is any element of personal pleasure involved? Should a politician be required to pay out of pocket for all personal travel even though the required security makes the trip vastly more expensive than it would be for a regular person? What exactly do people expect from politicians - no vacations at all while in office? I don't think that politicians (or any government employee) should have carte blanche to use government resources for personal gain or personal pleasure, but the pendulum can swing too far in the other direction as well. Reasonableness and sensibleness should be the standard - not some pie in the sky level of perfection that no human can attain.

Giving up on something hurtful is a good thing. Remember, nearly everyone who gives up a harmful habit relapses at first - whether it is drugs, alcohol, overeating, or anything else. So don't feel bad about feeling bad.

The problem is that nearly all politicians are wealthy and therefore accustomed to vacations that 99% of us could never afford. When one becomes president, regardless of party affiliation, he expects to continue living a wealthy lifestyle. Security demands that the POTUS not travel commercial economy class, or stay in the Motel 6. Everyone, regardless of job, deserves a vacation - I know that not everyone actually gets a vacation but that doesn't mean no one should get one. So, there is no way for a politician to take any sort of vacation without pissing someone off. It also seems there is no way for a politician to travel for legitimate business purposes without pissing people off.

PON - I am struggling with the same question about how to live authentically as myself. Who am I, what do I really believe, what do I really want? It can be overwhelming sometimes and I catch myself wanting someone to just tell me the answers. So right there is the key to why I was so willing to buy the WTBTS line - WOW - I just learned something new about myself.

A True Believer tm would gladly rip the lottery ticket to shreds if it meant the UBM would come back to the Truth tm . However, for anyone with any doubts, the money would prove irresistable. I'd love to win that kind of cash.

Yes, I do feel sorry for them. I remember how miserable I was and how I felt like *I* was defective. I know several in my former hall who have to take antidepressants to function, and I think that the religion makes depressive tendencies worse.
