We have a 10 week old mini dachshund puppy; he disappoints us several times a day. ;) Not really; it’s a learning curve. He’ll get there. Very smart, otherwise.

He has his own YouTube channel:

He lives with his adopted sister, a cheetah, who also has her own YouTube channel:

Here’s the video that still photo is from:

You can turn closed captions on on the newer videos to get an English translation. For the ones that you can’t do that to, there’s usually a translation in the description or comments.

Brave beautiful dog-so glad she survived-I have had 2 German Shepherds-both lived to be very old-I still miss them-I only buy a large working/guarding breed puppy to be my canine companion for life...

People who want to kill all the wildlife that can be dangerous have not spoken to a game warden and do not understand things like “balanced ecosystem”-where the predator-to-prey ratio being correct means healthy habitat/animals, good hunting for humans-of deer, etc-the woods are the animals’ home and dining room-we are guests...

I do not understand why there are so many mountain lion attacks in Cali-they are doing something-besides crowding them out of habitat-that is causing problems-I think just about anyone knows that predators like mountain lions and bears are attracted by dogs-especially barking ones-humans either riding a bike or running, etc-they see those as prey to be caught, or as a threat-don’t run, don’t ride a bike and don’t bring the dog on that trail-and carry some bear spray...

There are mountain lions living in the woods less than 2 acres away-we see their tracks when walking/hiking/mowing all the time-they don’t bother anyone-but they will go after a dog that is running around loose-especially in the Spring when the females have kittens they are protecting-most people know this and do not walk their dogs in mountain lion territory this time of year-there are already 2 dogs missing whose owners were letting them run loose down to the riverbank and woods, despite neighbors’ warnings and the large off-leash fine-by now, they have become Mr/Ms mountain lion’s takeout meal.

Thank you for pointing that out-the woman probably had never considered that there are mountain lions and bears in the area she was hiking-ignorance isn’t always bliss...

The author wrote it in pencil.

His wife convinced him to send it to a publisher.

My throat tightens, too.

It’s just people being stupid.

I’m in Yellowstone right now, and dumbazz people trying to walk up to a herd of Bison that has several calves with it.
