   Your pix are so cute. We are crazy doxie people, had two brothers…almost killed us when we lost them (one was almost 17). Right now, we have another love of our lives, Dolly, who’s 13. She’s had lots of troubles (back) but keeps going even though she has lost feeling/some use of right back let and sometimes walks with the toes turned under. Keep up the good work!

   This reminds me of one of our dachsi’s, Gidget…she is a longhair and a couple of years ago there was a newborn goat show up in our driveway… I got the baby goat and put it in a box, had my husband go into town and get some baby formula and a bottle. Even tho I had to feed Buttercup with a bottle, Gidget stayed in the box with her and cleaned her and took care of her until she was about a month old. I couldn’t get Gidget to leave that baby goat! The only time she would leave, would be to come and get me when the baby was hungry!
   Love the story!
   We are crazy dachshund people too…we have three. Two are longhairs and one is a short hair. Our first, Schautzi lived until she was almost 15. When we brought our daughter home from the hospital, Shautz decided that was her baby and no one but me or my husband could go near the baby without Schautz’s permission!
   They are such a wonderful breed….
   Kind, caring, and protective of their humans!

   That is incredible. Please keep us posted with more pictures. That is so funny how she just fits in.

   What a great story with pics. After having a doxie for almost 15 years, it comes as no surprise that she would take the piglet as one of her own. Doxies are THE BEST dogs. . . just ask any Doxie owner!

   Will there be a follow up story to this?

   @Robert, I’ve been in contact with the caretaker of Tink and Pink. If she sends me any additional information I’ll be sure to post it as an updated blog article. Pink and Tink’s caretaker has also been updating us through the comments area of our first post Dachshund Acts As Mom To Baby Piglet

    What a wonderful sweet story…until I came to the part where the owner of the piglet and momma dog said that we raises pigs for his kids for 4-H. How very sad. Animals raised for 4-H projects are auctioned off and sent to the horrendous and inhumane slaughterhouse. The cute little pig, which will get big (and to the owners delite)and fat, will be killed for only two reasons. A meal, and since it isn’t “oh, look how sweet” adorable like it was at birth. How sad for the poor piglet.

    I’m not sure how much Pink weighs now. I’ll check with her owner.
20. Colby on September 17th, 2008 4:10 pm
    

    @Walker, I heard back from Pinks handler and Pink weighs a little over 100 pounds. She saw Pink’s siblings at the local fair on August 8th and they weighed in the 230 – 275 pound range.

    She also says that Pink is doing great. He’s short, fat, and sweet. He loves to eat marshmellows and to be scratched.
