Welcome to the Wednesday Dogs of Dogster! Every Wednesday, we share a story from one of our Dogsters. This week is about Meagan and her dynamic duo of dachshunds, Draper and Rue.

My life with two miniature dachshunds, Draper & Rue, is like living in a whimsical sitcom where the episodes revolve around unexpected twists, dramatic entrances, and, of course, an endless supply of laughs. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to share your home with two adorable, pint-sized tornadoes of fur and personality, buckle up—it’s a wild ride!

Draper: The Golden Boy

Draper, our golden boy, who we lovingly refer to as Draper Daniel, is the mastermind behind our daily adventures. Our first-born son, with a long, luxurious blonde coat, he is an instant attention grabber and conversation starter in any room we walk into. Draper is not as daring or as alpha as one might assume based on his looks. More often than not, he actually lets his little sister rule the house and boss him around, stealing all of his toys, treats, and half of his cuddles. Our little cowardly lion, Draper, is scared of most loud noises, our printer, rain, the bathtub, and our human baby. He is also the king of the couch, where he will perch looking so majestic you’d think he was a lion in the Serengeti rather than a wiener dog.

Rue: The Sassy Diva

Then there’s Rue, our pocket-sized, sassy diva with a heart of gold and an insatiable curiosity. She’s a whopping 6.5-pound classic black and tan with an attitude that could rival a reality TV star. Rue has a knack for getting into trouble and then looking utterly innocent, as if she was saying  “Who, me?” Whether it’s stealing a sock, burrowing into a blanket, getting stuck under the couch while looking for a ball, instigating a wrestling match with Draper, or claiming the sunniest spot on the rug, she manages to do it all with an air of unapologetic charm. She’s quiet and sweet most of the time, but when the mood strikes (or an Amazon package gets delivered), you can hear her from a mile away!

Life With the Dachshund Duo

Together, they form an adorable dynamic duo, like Batman and Robin—if Batman was scared of thunder and Robin had a habit of stealing the spotlight. Their daily antics range from orchestrating elaborate schemes to snag a cracker from their human sibling to fierce wrestling matches that would make a WWE event look tame. Watching them is like attending a live-action version of a cartoon—one moment, they’re quietly plotting their next move, and the next, they’re tumbling into a pile of pillows like a pair of furry acrobats.

With two miniature dachshunds, each day is filled with kisses, barking, the occasional headshake, and a whole lot of love. They’ve taught me that the secret to happiness lies in a sprinkle of chaos, a mountain of snuggles, and a hefty dose of humor. So, step right into our wonderfully whimsical world with Draper and Rue. We’re excited to take you along on all of our adventures!
