Everyone wants to own cats or dogs because they are so lovely. They can make us laugh, feel happy when they are playing around us. However, the feeling of owning a cat is really different from owning a dog because the two pets are on behalf of two opposite parties. Let go through with Dachshund Bonus.
After you open the door, the lovely puppies will right away run to you and hug your leg like they had not seen you for many years. And the cats? Absolutely opposite! No see, no move, no care; Some of them will go away when their owners open the door.
As a pet lover, you may like to rub your pets especially rubbing their bellies. The dogs will enjoy and show their happiness when you rub their bellies. And the cats do not care what you do on their bodies even they always lay and show their bellies.
Almost the pets like to walk on the road or play in the park especially the lovely dogs, they will run and jump happily once you open the door to get them out. Cats are the opposite, almost them just like to relax on a warm bed all day.
Although dachshunds or other dogs do not speak as humans do but they have no problem expressing their emotions. When they are happy, they will wag their tails, run around their owners; and when they are feeling sad, the ears way back. And the cats, they show nothing, no one knows what they are thinking and feeling.
The cats look very lovely, innocent but their faces are cold as assassins. And the dogs are very active and naughty but they will quickly show repentance and guilty when the owners scold them.
Cuddle
Puppies will be very excited or even they will jump to show excitement when cuddled by their owners. Cats will not let you touch their heads.
If you love your dogs, they will love you back. They even pamper you like the way you treat them. Cats will never act like that although you love them so much.
Hate and love
See the photo below, you will know who loves you and who hates you.

You could write another WOOF for the same price.” The dog shook his head at the clerk in disbelief. “But that would make no sense at all.”

Penn Jillette, the chatty half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, shared with us his favorite clean joke: Two racehorses are in a stable. One says to the other, “You know, before that last race …” “The one that you won?” asks the other horse. “Yeah, before that race, I felt a pinch in my hindquarters.” The other horse says, “Funny, I felt a pinch in my hindquarters before the race that I won.” A dog walking by says, “You idiots, you’re being doped. They’re injecting you with a drug to make you faster!” The first horse turns to the other and says, “Hey, a talking dog!”

“Is that the dog we’re supposed to beware of?” he asks the owner.
“That’s him,” comes the reply.

When our client’s dog lapped up anti-freeze, the veterinarian I work for ordered a unique treatment: an IV drip mixing fluids with vodka. “Go buy the cheapest bottle you can find,” he told me. At the liquor store, I was uneasy buying cheap booze so early in the day, and I felt compelled to explain things to the clerk. “Believe it or not,” I said, “this is for a sick dog.” As I was leaving, the next customer plunked down two bottles of muscatel and announced, “These are for my cats.”
Can You Help A Lovely Doxie Dog Open A Safe? Only Geniuses
Hello! This is Bonus, a lovely doxie dog. My dad just bought me a small safe but I don’t know the password to open it. Can you help me find the correct code?
Let’s go through the hints below:
From this clue, we can eliminate 7,3,8 as possibilities
After eliminating, we have 6,2,4,5,0 as valid numbers. But we have to do more elimination.
Either 2 is correct or 6 is correct but not both If 6 was in the correct position in 682, it would also be in the correct position for 645. So 6 cannot be correct. It means 2 is correct and correctly positioned in 682.
So we’ve eliminated 6 as possible number and 2 has to be correct and in the third spot. Now from the second, we know that 6 is not a correct number and we know one number is correct so either 4 or 5 is correct but not both.
Let’s go to the third clue. Well, as we have known 6 is not the correct number and we have two correct numbers so that means both 2 and 0 are correct number but they are in the wrong positions in 206 so 0 must actually be the correct number. From 682, we know 2 is in the third position. So then 0 must be in the first position. Now the password looks something like 0?2
How to get the final third number? Let’s take a look at this clue again. The password is either 042 or 052. If the password was 042, then 645 would have a number (4) in the correct position, however it does not. Therefore the password must be 052.
If you are a dachshund lover, you probably think all of your dogs are cute. If you are a doxie dog parent, we are sure that you are the proudest owner of your dachshunds because they are the cutest dogs in the world.
Dachshunds are also called doxie dogs, sausage dogs, wiener dogs or hot dogs. They are special dogs because they have short legs and long bodies and they were originally bred to hunt badgers, prairie dogs and small animals. They are also typically known for their long faces and small size.
