Likes: cuddling, burrowing in blankets, playing with Katy Pet-Peeves: nothing! Favorite Toy: his hippo Favorite Food: chompsticks Favorite Walk: around the block Best Tricks: being the sweetest puppy ever Arrival Story: Like Katy, Howie was adopted from the pet store after seeing him several Saturdays and being completely charmed. We needed another energetic puppy who could keep up with her! Bio: Howie was pretty much the sweetest dog ever and what made us fall in love with dachshunds for life. His name is after the dachshund in James Howe's Bunnicula books. Howie also achieved TV fame by competing in the very first Weiner Dog Races at Gulf Greyhound Park in 1994, with the stage name Real Weiner. Forums Motto: The Reil Weiner I've Been On Dogster Since:
