RE: What kind of birthday celebration do you give your dog?
Don't know exactly when my female dachshund was born as she had been in several homes before I received her. The previous owners rescued her as she had been neglected before she went there. The previous owners couldn't keep as they had several large dogs. I will be celebrating the first anniversary when I got her, which will be next February. I plan to take a photo of her and give it to the previous owners. They wanted to keep her, but knew they couldn't due to having large dogs. They knew I really love dachshunds and so, they asked if I would like another dachshund. I immediately said Yes!
My male dachshund I had bought at a pet store, which I will never do again. I didn't realize that this pet store was buying puppies from a puppy mill. I do know or at least know what the pet store told me when my male dog was born. I don't celebrate his birthday but the day I bought him. I think that day has more meaning to me and to my dog than the day he was born.
