10 Signs You Have A Dachshund

Dachshunds may be some of the funniest, most adorable dogs you will ever have. And here are 10 signs that you have one:

1.You’re constantly fixing their ears

Dachshunds' ears are incredibly unpredictable, meaning, if a gust of wind comes by, your dog’s ear is going to go in the opposite direction. The little backwards ear is too hard not to laugh at, and all you have to do is just flip it back to it’s normal position and your pup is good to go.

2.You own multiple collars and harnesses

Of course all dogs wear collars, but wiener dog’s in particular need a little extra support for their extremely long back. Dachshunds have back problems, so the little harness they wear protects their backs while they are taking their evening stroll. Also, it is most likely you won't be finding a harness the right size for your little dachshunds back, so good luck.

3. If it rains, you don’t even bother taking them outside

Rain, rain, go away, so my wiener dog can go potty! They hate the rain, and act like there is a hurricane when actually it’s a light sprinkle. A big umbrella is a must, unless you don’t mind accidents in the house.

4. You own too many blankets to count

Blankets for yourself are one thing, but the blankets for your dog are endless. Dachshunds love to snuggle up and burrow, so having a plethora of blankets is necessary. Put a blanket in your dog's bed, and you probably won’t be able to find them for a few minutes. They will most likely be buried deep under the blanket sleeping soundly.

5. You have plenty of treats

All dogs love treats, but there is something in particular about dachshunds and their love for anything tasty. It’s necessary to have options when it comes to treats, because even the slightest whiff of peanut butter or bacon flavored anything, and your dachshund will come trotting over within seconds.

6.You’ve thought about dressing them up as hotdogs for Halloween

This happens every year. As Halloween approaches, I desperately want to dress my wiener dogs up in hotdog costumes, topped with mustard and ketchup. It would be hilarious and so punny. Every year I tell myself I don’t need to waste money on a costume they will most likely eat, but I always get a good laugh out of the idea.

7. You cry of cuteness when they walk anywhere

Dachshunds have the stubbiest, little legs, and I can’t help but shriek every time my dachshunds walk anywhere. Their chunky, short legs are just too dang cute and their steps are so small. I just want to order them little booties and watch them walk around all day.

8. You want to die anytime they pass a little gas

This is disgusting, but dachshunds eat anything they find on the floor. So yes, the food we feed them might be full of vegetables and healthy ingredients, but I truly have no idea what is going into those little tummies of theirs. Most likely fuzz balls and tortilla chip crumbs they find on the floor.

9. You sometimes don’t know who’s the boss

Dachshunds are so stubborn and most likely never answer when being called. Sometimes they end up playing you and things end up going their way. Dachshunds usually get what they want when they want it.

10. You wouldn’t trade your dachshund for anything

At the end of the day, you’ve realized your 100% #teamdachshund. You love your wiener dog unconditionally and love their cute snuggles. You wouldn’t trade your loud barking, stinky, stubby, smart, crazy, stubborn, little hotdog for anything.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
