I ’m get jealous ofallofthepicturesJasonpostsofhisadorabledog , Bailey , so I thought I ’d squeeze in a gratuitous delineation of my own .
The little one on the leftfield is Patton ( he has one blue eye and one brown center ) , the blackened one is Winston and the crimson one is Jackson . Yes , they are named after General George Patton , Winston Churchill and Andrew Jackson . Do n’t require .
Jackson was our first . Winston issue forth a duet of year by and by because we thought Jackson was lonely . We mean to stop at two , but then we come up Patton with his wonky eyes and his Gene Simmons tongue and could n’t help oneself ourselves . We ’re in good society , though " “ dachshund have been the faithful companions of authors , artist , political leader and actor for 100 . I recollect I ’d divvy up a few " celebrity" dachshund tales with you . If anything , this will make myself feel better about possess three of them .
Picasso and Lump
Our own Andrà © a , the author of the"Feel Art Again"posts , could tell you more about Picasso ’s full treatment than I can , but I do know that Lump was feature in many of his pieces . He acquired Lump from photographer David Douglas Duncan in 1957 when Duncan get Lump along on a stumble to shoot Picasso . It was love at first sight . Lump did n’t get along with Duncan ’s other cad and made it reasonably clear that he preferred to become an creative person ’s muse . Lump had his portrait painted for the first time that very day . Their relationship is chronicled in Duncan ’s bookPicasso and Lump : A Dachshund ’s Odyssey . The friendly relationship is jolly decipherable from the picture in the book , which include Picasso holding Lump like an babe and letting the firedog eat from his dinner crustal plate .
Andy Warhol, Amos and Archie
Andy Warhol only get a dachshund puppy because his fellow want one , so they got Archie . Warhol terminate up being the one infatuated with the breed , though . Warhol would make for the dog to interviews with him to " answer" questions he did n’t deal for . He also took Archie to veranda , on business trips , on photo shoots and to his studio .
David Hockney, Stanley and Boodgie
I particularly savour these sketches because I see our dogs deposit themselves in weird positions and cleft like this all of the sentence . I suppose it was just their individual quirks , but apparently it ’s a breed affair .
Waldi
The grade insignia in Waldi ’s midsection were the colors of the game that summer . unluckily , the precious dachshund mascot is n’t the most memorable matter about the 1972 Olympics " “ that was the year of the " Munich Massacre , " when 11 Irsaeli competitors were killed by Palestinian terrorist .
William Randolph Hearst and Helen
William Randolph Hearst had many dachshunds , but none that he loved as much as his Helen . He even had a little ramp set up on a natural spring at Hearst Castle so she could use it as her own personal swimming pool .
Hearst was so devastated when Helen died in 1942 , he compose an lament for her that was published inTimemagazine :
Kaiser Wilhelm II and Wadl, Hexl and Senta
The last emperor butterfly of Germany have a go at it dachshunds so much he sink five of them in the parkland at Huis Doorn , his residence - in - expatriation after WWI . The most noted of them , though , are Wadl , Hexl and Senta . Senta accompany the Kaiser during WWI , which gain him the laurels of having a Isidor Feinstein Stone dedicated to him at the Huis Doorn park . Wadl and Hexl are far-famed for a more mischievous ground , though . When the Kaiser was paying a visit to Austria to visit Archduke Franz Ferdinand , they gobbled up one of his golden pheasant .
John Wayne and his dog
Other celebrity and their dachshunds include :
