Ah dunno about Fairfax, but Montgomery like 10% of people are Jewish(more if you count people who aren't practicing)
Synagogues are easier to find than convenience stores. Lol

I will also admit the corporate culture here is a nightmare, but I work in higher education. The sexism kinda sucks and there's been a nasty spike in xenophobia, but that could be said of 'Murica as well.

Oh plenty of reasons. Tons of exposure to Japanese export culture from a very young age-> language study in college->study abroad. Made a ton of friends in the music scene and was just socially happier. People here are more civil, hard working, etc. Streets are safe, food is amazing, etc etc.

OMG Oscar had a blanket like that. You'd think having been snipped as soon as the vet recommended would have curbed his libido...

Is there a squeaker inside it? Every Dachsie we've had would disembowel squeaky toys in what felt like moments...

Since you're in the DMV, find your nearest Jewish friend and ask to take part in Hanukkah festivities. Tell them someone told you Latkes are delicious and the games are fun. (Former MoCo Jewish kid here, lol)

Oscar was crate trained. Took ages but it became one of his favorite spots to chew his toys.
My family and I crate trained all our dogs, and he was by far the hardest.

I'm trying to imagine being this stupid, but I just can't. I'd have to give myself like a thousand concussions and then huff paint fumes for like a decade straight to even APPROACH this level of dumb.

This is like, every Dachshund. I've seen multiple photos like this. They're Velcro dogs. Even when you're pooping. 💩

Yup, that's a Dachsie. Possessive and obsessed with their favorite human. And once they've started a cuddle, don't you DARE move an inch. There will be much grumbling.
Oh and God forbid you go too long without tending to their neediness. Revenge pee...

Haha, I have yet to meet a Dachshund who wasn't like this. If you dare give affection or cuddles to anyone in their presence they try to horn in on the action. Like literally shoehorm their body in between you and the interloper. Or bark, or snorfle. Or all of the above. You're THEIRS. Period.

Lol. Just like a Dachshund to try and replace the silly hooman partner. Does Cooper get jealous if you pay attention to the husband?

It's all intimidation tactics. Have his stormtroopers patrolling the streets to keep y'all in line while he works out his final solution.

Oscar crossed the rainbow bridge a long time ago. I do wonder if your Cooper might be from the same bloodline, though. I got him in high school, when I was living in the DC area. (Rockville/Gaithersburg)
