| If you go to Japanese fan sites, you've probably noticed that a lot of them have sections dedicated to their pets. A lot of people in Japan have cats because they're small and they take care of themselves. But when it comes to dogs, the most popular breed is definitely the dachshund! | |
| Anyhow, in the tradition of all those Japanese fan sites with pet sections, here's mine. About the only thing as cute and lovable as Cammy is a puppy dog, right? If you like dogs, lemme introduce you to my wire-haired dachshund... | |
| He was born on June 8, 2003, and he came to live with me on August 2, 2003. Wire-haired dachshunds are the rarest of the 3 dachshund breeds... most people only know the short-haired and the long-haired varieties. There are lots of great breeds of dogs, but I've always loved dachshunds the most. | |

| Maxwell's Gallery | |
| Here are some pictures of my little buddy. If you're interested, you can come here to see different pictures of him as he grows up... | |
| BTW, I named him "Maxwell" after Maxwell House coffee. I hate coffee, but his breath smells like coffee, so I thought the name fit. Plus, my very first dog was a St. Bernard named "Max". | |
 |
"Haus" (age 1 mo.) Here's the very first picture I got of my puppy. He was only 3 weeks old. This picture was taken just after getting dewormed, so he's not looking too happy. |
 |
"Bandit" (age 1 1/2 mo.) Here's a picture I got from the breeder. One look at him and I was totally in love. Out of all the puppies there, he was the one that everybody wanted... but I lucked out and got him! ^_^ |
 |
Maxwell sitting (age 2 mo.) Here's Maxwell on my kitchen floor looking very well behaved. He's a curious little guy, so it's pretty rare to get him to sit down this calmly when he's not sleeping. |
 |
Maxwell sleeping (age 2 mo.) Yeah! He's finally taking a break! Puppies are incredibly cute and lovable, but they can also drive you nuts because they're constantly getting into everything... |
 |
Maxwell biting (age 2 mo.) Ouch! Puppies have very sharp little needle-like baby teeth. And they like to use 'em to chew on EVERYTHING! |
 |
Maxwell sleeping?! (age 3 mo.) I don't know how Maxwell got himself into this position, much less fell asleep like that! He's a strange little puppy, but that's part of what makes him so fun to have around. |
 |
Maxwell on the couch (age 3 1/2 mo.) And here's a nice up-close picture of Maxwell. As you can see, he's really changed since I got him 1 1/2 months ago. His hair is turning gray already! |
 |
Maxwell's bath (age 8 mo.) Ugghhhh... bath time! Actually, he does't put up a struggle when I give him a bath, but after I let him out, he runs around the house like a maniac!! |
 |
Maxwell's nap (age 8 mo.) Here's Max curled up in front of the fireplace where it's nice and warm! Doesn't he look so comfortable? |
 |
Maxwell 1 year old! Here he is pretty much all grown up! He weighs about 21 pounds, but he's almost 3 feet long form his nose to the tip of his tail! |
| Cammy! | |
This is the
site of a very cute dachshund breeder in Hokkaido, Japan. The site is all
Japanese, but if you click around the links, you should have no problem finding some
interesting stuff. BTW, Tomomi obviously likes Final Fantasy because quite a few of
her dogs are named after FF characters.
