Why Everyone Needs A Wiener Dog

Keep calm and stay long.

Why Everyone Needs A Wiener Dog
Lauren Buchanan

I will remember the day I got my dachshund for the rest of my life. She was an 18th birthday gift to myself, and I named her after a sassy pop star on the way home because she loves the song “Fergalicious." Furgie and I have hosted parties together, survived college together, husband hunted together, and will love each other forever. We are going on five years as best friends. That being said, I couldn't be happier to tell you why every human should have a hot dog-shaped bestie.

1. Dachshunds are hilarious no matter what they are doing

2. And they're hilarious no matter what they're wearing

3. Wiener dogs are the perfect size to be heating pads when you're sick or have cramps

4. Movie nights are the perfect date with this dog because they love to snuggle and bury themselves under blankets all day, every day

5. They will bury themselves anywhere, actually

6. They are loud enough to be doorbells

7. And also quiet enough for you to sneak them into stores and events that typically don't allow dogs

8. Dachshund puppies are as cute as a button

9. A lot of people think dachshunds are a mean breed, so you can take walks and be anti-social

10. But let's be real: They are little sausage sweethearts and once you have one dachshund, you want more

11. Online shops take your wiener dog obsession seriously and sell lamps, kitchenware, and clothes featuring your fur baby

12. You have an excuse to tell dirty jokes revolving around your wiener

13. Female doxie moms have the perfect pick up lines on Tinder. For example: “You can touch my wiener if I can touch yours"

14. There are songs on YouTube about your dog. Your baby is basically a celebrity. Who doesn't want to be the parent of a celebrity?

15. Doxies have attitude and don't let anyone mess with their humans or their house

16. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt for badgers in Germany. Today, it is in their blood to keep your home and yard rodent-free. Check out my little savage:

17. You better love your wiener if you get one. They're meant to give you a life of love and laughs with their 15-20 year lifespan

18. Dachshund moms and dads never need to invest in a garbage disposal. These babies have the appetite of a retirement party at Golden Corral

19. Since doxies are always hungry, you always have an excuse to eat food too. Family dinner is important, right?

20. This goes with any dog, hot dog-shaped or not: They make you feel complete

I can't imagine a world without dogs--especially my own. I don't trust people who don't like dogs, and I don't trust people my dog doesn't like. It will never cease to amaze me how dogs can show so much love without speaking a word. If more humans could do that, world peace would be within reach.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
