Vowel Lady, yes I've heard of it and there is a vet in our town who practices that. But I haven't ever used their services.

My daughter and son-in-law have a mini dachsund, and I worry about the way my SIL sometimes rough houses with Otto, tossing him in the air like ... well I don't know like what! Like men do with little kids, who knows why! My daughter convinced him to stop doing that for fear of injuring his back.

I love dachsies, they are so warm and cuddly. Like having a heating pad in bed with you.
