Oscar and Macs, the Dog of the Day
Name: Oscar, Macs
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Miniature Dachshunds
Home: Valencia, California, USA
 
   Oscar and Macs (aka Laurel and Hardy) are Miniature Dachshunds and are the same age, eight years old, but came to me a year apart. I got Oscar when he was eight weeks old and thought my search was over. A year later I had the opportunity to "rescue" Macs and realized then that my search was complete. They are as different as day and night, and both have so very much to offer in their own special way. They are very loyal and loving. They are little dogs but never let you forget they are there. They have very "pay attention" to me attitudes. And with those darling little faces and loving eyes, it's hard not to do.

    Oscar takes the slower, easy going route, while Macs is going, going, going... always. He is my squirrel guard and never tires of making sure that the squirrels don't come in his back yard. Oscar is secure in knowing that and can sleep the day away. They weren't born "brothers" but now they would totally be lost without each other. And I would be lost without them. I have had other dogs in my life but never a pair such as these... they are a "pair-a -dox"! Oh, and their full names are Oscar Meyer Wiener Wonder Dog and Mac Sausage Mac Muffin Wiener Wonder Dog!
