How about comparing the actual job duties of all EB2s and EB3s ? Not just what their lawyer says.

Do i care to answer them all, no. But since we are talking and not fighting, yes i will take some time to provide my input.

Thankyou for asking my input nicely, i like to belong to a group of educated and people who wear a head on their shoulders.

you asked - You can't generalize everything. Do you care to show how this is as bad as labor substitution ?

It was bad because many people were selling labor certificates. I know people who bought them for 10K, and got in green card line and well ahead in line than me and probably you ( we both are on the group today).

My 2 cents: why, what will this give you , other than some unrest and one more fight/arguments.

you are right there are cases where porting makes sense, but you cant claim the same on all cases. There are cases where this practice is unjust and breaking the line.

Why do peole always port in favor of date/time to get faster green card. If porting is so justified ( job duties) how come no one ports to a category that is too late than one they are in.

Most importantly, you cant push people around, just be nice to people. Please.

to make a point for all.

To all my brothers and sisters who are waiting for their GC since years, please do not forget that there is a silver lining to every dark cloud. Only time can reveal what that silver lining is.

Most of us know how problems are resolved these days by shifiting it from one area to another until some day everything breaks or things get resolved by itself. None of the agency mentioned above thinks or works any different. So be patient and beleive that there a silver lining to all this. Peace, joy, pain, sorrow and happiness are all passing things in life.

If they turned you down, you could say, hey, just remind me what the name of the bank is?

They get commission on the loan so they will work harder to find something. Only be careful they don't stick you with something with crap terms. Also if you give a deposit make it not only contingent on mortgage, but contingent on mortgage at no more than X% APR and Y mortgage terms, that way if the mortgage company changes the deal at closing (bait and switch - dirty practice - more likely to occur with a broker) then you can just get your deposit back and walk away. In this market, a small deposit (if any) should be acceptable.

Fed is trying to supply short term funds to ease this crunch. I don't know how low Fed will go for this. What I am seeing is mortgage rates being stable or going down a little in near term bcoz of Fed easing. For long term, I believe rates will go up as bonds have to become attractive to get new investors.This may not be the best ( absolute bottom) but definitely very good time to refinance if it makes sense for your conditions.

For first time buyers like me, there are a lot of parameters to be considered. In my opinion the parameters are tilted towards faster house price drop . Hence I am waiting at least for a year. I will not do anything till next spring.

Anyway, when you say visa recapture does not hep EB3I, that is patently FALSE. En Contraire, it is the ONLY thing that can help that category.

I am an EB3 2003. I think I did qualify for EB2, but the job position did not require me to be in that category, moreover EB2 & Eb3 were both current and various other factors were considered and they decided to apply in EB3.

NOW: It was my bad that I got stuck in the stupid BEC. A fellow I know with lesser qualifications applied in EB3 in 2004, then changed jobs, applied in EB2 in 2004 and has a green card already.

DO YOU MEAN TO SAY: THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DENY ME MY 2003 PD IF I APPLY IN EB2. FORGET THINKING ABOUT IT! Not that it is easy or I am doing it. As a matter of fact, I am not interested!.

hound 1

Based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2018.

The hound is begging her to kill him, but she won't grant him his last wish.

Sandor “The hound” Clegane was left to die of a ferocious ass-whooping.

In the end, the joke was on both of them: Brienne lost track of Arya and The hound was “killed by a woman.”

But The hound is just hungry, and no one gets between the scarred warrior and a meal.

At the end of the fourth season premiere, Arya and The hound stumble upon a tavern in the woods.

That's an old maneuver of his—to hound a man from a little crime to a big one.

And if I'd known as much about you then as I know now, I'd never have started to hound you.

The hound fell without a sound, and with equal ease he slew the second.

If they presented an equal target he would fire at them rather than the hound.

The other cab was pelting after him with all the enthusiasm of a hound on a fresh trail.

"You have to find seven packages of goodies hidden in the Haunted House. Search the rooms for things that will help you find the goodies. Click on the items to pick them up. Don't get too scared. "

what's the deal with the music room? When I walk in, nothing happens, and there is nothing to click.

How do I get the muffin!?

to get the muffin, talk with lyman in the basement -- then you'll hear something happen in the kitchen.

still can't figure out what is supposed to happen in the music room. I know it's a simon-style puzzle, but is there a way to turn it on?

how do you get in the basement?

organize the books in the library. hint: ignore the numbers.

I couldn't finish it. I got too scared.

Yeah I'm stuck. what do you do with the music room? Someone out there. help.

once you're in themusic room click on any of the instruments the activate the game, follow the pattern and you're set.

YAY! I beat the damn thing.

Music room only starts working after a couple of the other items have been found, I think.

and here comes the sequel:

Best sequel since the first one.

i don't get what i should do in the library! How do i arrange it?

I beat #2, bring it on!

Mika, don't forget your ABCs.

I beat both of them, though the second was a lot harder.

I can't believe I wasted my time on that.

Barg, I agree. Maybe the third one will be a real challenge. And maybe it will be in a different house!

One thing that they really shouldn't have done is have the scardey-cat meter. A game like this is also about interactivity, and making it so it's a bad idea to click everything just ruins it.

Agreed. I want an interactive click game where everything is clickable and DOESN'T KILL YOU.

Finish! i Finshed both games! I hate that scardey-cat meter thing! haha

I wish they would kill Garfield. I might not yet be too late to stop the movie.

where could i find the newspaper to swat those spiders and what does bobble head mean?

I've got the music room figured out, where do you get the flashlight?

Jhing, the bobble heads can be found in the maze at the end!!

Newspaper is in the bathroom

how can i open the bookshelf?

oh yah. and where is the bathroom?

yey! i did it! thanks a lot kittysue

in #1 how do i get into the valut i dont know where to get the com at?

ok so i beat the first one now i move on too the second how do i open the book case

Where do I find the red key for treasure hunt 1? How do i open the book shelf in 2? What is the song for the spiders.

can anyone please tell me where i can find the remote and how to open the bookcase in the second one?? i've been trying for a week and i guess i'm just missing something. please help!! thanx

Can anybody tell me in witch order to wack the spiders in #2?

In 2, you find the remote in the couch of the room with the fireplace and bear rug.

In 2, the theme song for the spiders is found when you go through the mice holes in the wall and get to a room with a stain glass window. The circles in the window are the order you should swatt the spiders.

In 1, you can open the vault by clicking on the window in that room. You will see the numbers on a tomb stone outside.

Now, where do I find the flashlight and Lyman in 1? I'm so stumped on this stupid thing.

lycidas said @ 9:15pm GMT on 5th Dec

lyman is the guy in the basement, sort out the books in alphabetical order, go to the kitchen pick the middle cupboard instead of the left or right one and grab the flashlight go down talk to lynman go up and go back to the kitchen and the fridge will be unlocked and grab the muffin and go back to lyman and give it to him. the fireplace will open up and you can get the donuts in the basement through the fireplace.

In Scavenger Hunt#1, I got everything except the Muffin. Lyman isn't in the basement when I go there. Is there a special order you need to find things in order for him to be there?

I tried going into the house first thing and opening the bookcase and then getting the flashlight and going back but Lyman still isn't there. .

Can anybody tell where to find the red key in Garfield's Scavenger Hunt 1

I haven't been into the game in a while, cause I can't figure out the Lyman thing, but I think I remember the red key being under the pillow in the upstairs bedroom. Did you try there?

If you did, and it's not the red one, I will get into the game sometime today and let you know where it is.

Ok, I figured out the lyman thing. Boy do I feel like a dork.

Cyrene81, The red key is in the dinning room. I don't know if you want me to tell you exactly where and take the fun out of it.

In 2, how do you open the fridge and get though the library secret door?

IN Scavenger 2 How Do I get in the basement? Thanx

Use the hairpin found upstairs in the lady's head to pick the lock on the frig

In Scavenger 2, you are only in the basement in the beginning. Don't need to go back. I didn't try it, but you would probably go back through the fireplace.

The library secret door opens when you have collected all the scavenger items.

85-year-old Marshall Smith given probation for killing woman in hit-and-run on Colorado & Exposition

Denver prosecutors say Marshall L. Smith is charged with leaving the scene of an accident in a Jan. 9 hit-and-run that left a pedestrian dead.

An 85-year-old driver who struck and killed a woman as she walked across a crosswalk was sentenced to probation for the fatal hit-and-run.

Marshall Smith pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide in court Friday morning and was given two years of probation.

He was initially charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death for the Jan. 9 crash.

Leanna Hund, 63, was walking across South Colorado Boulevard at East Exposition Avenue at about 9:05 a.m. when she was struck by a 1985 Chevy Impala.

Police said Smith ran over Hund as he turned south on Colorado and kept on driving.

Witnesses attempted to comfort Lund as she lay dying in the street and provided investigators with a description of vehicle, including the license plate.

Those tips helped police track the car to Smith. When interviewed, Smith told police that he picked up his car at the DaVita Center that morning.

Smith's ex-wife told police he disappeared after getting dialysis treatment the day before the crash, and she called police to file a missing person's report, according to his arrest affidavit. He had refused a ride from RTD's Access-A-Ride, police said.

Police say Smith shouldn't have been on the road in the first place because he was driving with a canceled license.

burn, garfield, burn

I read somewhere that Jim Davis doesn’t actually have much to do with Garfield anymore. There’s a factory of wannabe cartoonists churning out endless “I hate Mondays” jokes in a sweatshop somewhere in Indiana. I think those cartoonists probably cherish the end product with the same amount of pride that a 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl feels when she finishes her 1,000th pair of Nike Air Jordans. I wonder if Davis chains his workers to their desks?

The jokes in Garfield are beyond stale. The “art” is factory produced and devoid of any passion. They aren’t even trying.

Simply put, Garfield sucks. It is an abomination, a complete waste of ink and paper. It never makes me laugh. I don’t think it ever makes anyone laugh. If I ever walk up to you on the street and say “Man, did you read Garfield today? It sure was funny,” shoot me. If I tell you “Family Circus” was funny, shoot me twice. The alien would be in complete control by that point.

I vaguely recalled that Garfield was funny, once — long ago. There was an avalanche of Garfield watches, coffee mugs, notebooks and other assorted merchandise that flooded the market in the mid-eighties. There had to be something behind the hype, right? It all culminated in the stupid Garfield doll with suction cups on its paws that you could stick in the rear window of your car. I wonder how many people Garfield helped kill due to obstructed vision? I bet no one even kept track.

I did a little research last summer. I was at a used bookstore when I came upon a treasure-trove of old Garfield books. “Garfield Gains Weight.” “Garfield Sits Around The House” and the extremely aptly named “Garfield Wastes Space.” I thought to myself, “Aha! Here is my chance to read the original Garfield comics. The ones that started it all. The ones that were funny.

I was so young and so naive.

There are no funny Garfield books. It’s all a myth. Garfield has sucked from day one and will continue to suck for all eternity. Davis sold his soul to the devil to get where he is, and I fully expect him to rot in hell next to Freddy Prinze Jr. and maybe Celine Dion.

So imagine my delight when I stumbled across a discarded stuffed Garfield doll outside my friend Ed’s apartment last week. Unfortunately, his fur was lightly singed. Someone had tried to light Garfield on fire and failed.

They didn’t try hard enough.

I quickly learned why the previous attempts to kill Garfield were unsuccessful. Attempts were made to choke him as well as squash him, but much like my friend The Tick, Garfield proved “nigh-invulnerable.” Clearly, more drastic measures were called for.Now although my hatred for Garfield burns with the intensity of 1,000 white-hot suns, I didn’t want PETA complaining that I let the Satan-spawned feline suffer, so I decided to destroy his prefrontal lobes using a radical new procedure of my own devising.

Safety Tip

Always wear safety goggles when you are using small explosive devices to perform psychosurgery on a stuffed animal. Perhaps that goes without saying.

First, I made a small incision along the marsupial ridge with a medically sterile carving knife. (Well, I left it in the dishwasher for two cycles at any rate.) Using forceps and a clamp, I inserted a small explosive device behind the medulla oblongata then quickly sutured the incision back together using a staple gun I bought at a police auction this summer.

We lit the fuse.

BAM! Success! Not only did our highly illegal firecracker (thanks Aaron) destroy the frontal lobes, it pretty much destroyed the rear lobes, the side lobes and any other lobes it could find, too. Garfield was now free of all pain, and, as fate would have it, most other higher brain functions.

Now that Garfield was properly “sedated,” we moved on to phase two of the Garfield Project: Hot Time In The Kitty.

The previous owner had already attempted to burn Garfield. It didn’t work, and he gave up. We needed some help to overcome his flame retardant nature, and we found it in the form of a bottle of lamp oil we bought at our neighborhood Ace hardware store. Total cost: $3.49 + tax.

Safety Tip

Make sure your lamp oil is nice and fresh.

The firecracker left a hole in Garfield’s head that no amount of staples was going to repair, so I just dumped the lamp oil directly into his skull. I also splashed a bit on his ears and a little on his face because a) I planned on using an ear to light him up, and b) the red lamp oil looked disturbingly like blood soaked into Garfield’s fur — a little around the mouth made him fairly gruesome.

Now we were ready for the moment of truth. I carefully touched Garfield’s ear with a tongue of flame. It lit.

This is where our little kitty lobotomy really paid off. Look at how the smug, self-satisfied smirk never leaves the subject’s face, even as he is consumed by flame. There is almost something to admire there, like those Vietnamese Buddhist monks that immolate themselves. The only real difference I guess is that the monks choose to light themselves on fire to protest religious oppression, whereas Garfield was given a forced lobotomy, doused with lamp oil and lit on fire for my own personal amusement.

Speaking of my personal amusement, Garfield went up like a tiki torch from hell. After it looked like he was pretty much toast, Patti suggested that I pour the large bucket of water we had at the ready on the fiery remains of the lasagna-loving lard-butt, so we could check out the damage. Since it appeared that Garfield would happily burn all night, leaving a rather uninteresting black stain instead of a corpse, I agreed.

Here is the result. As you can see, around 90 percent of Garfield’s epidermis was burned away in the experiment, along with distinguishing features such as the eyes, ears and whiskers. The inner “cat meat” was alternately charred and exposed. The remaining pieces of skin hang loosely off the body only attached at points. It was quite disgusting.

I feel I can say with confidence that — baring some sort of unholy voodoo ceremony a la Child’s Play — Garfield is dead. The experiment was a complete success from both an artistic and a humanitarian point of view.

We then decided to drop the corpse in the Ace Hardware bag that the lamp oil came in because charred stuffed animals stink to high heaven. I thanked Garfield for his involuntary contributions to science then dumped him in the garbage in a private ceremony attended by a few friends and relatives. That ends the first badmouth science experiment.

Oh, wait! I forgot something!

As the flames roared higher, I noticed a man watching my experiment from a second-floor window in the house behind my apartment. I walked over to talk to him. He expressed some concern that I was going to “light his house on fire.” I listed my numerous safety precautions. I don’t think he bought it.

My new friend then asked why I was doing this. I explained I had a Web site and that I had found Garfield and thought lighting him on fire would be a hoot. (I didn’t want to get into a deep theological discussion as to why Garfield was the epitome of evil and hatred in the world.)

Then my neighbor said, and I quote, “So this is going to be a regular thing, then?” I told him no — but perhaps I was too hasty. Maybe every Saturday night could be sacrifice night. We could get more stuffed animals, more lamp oil ? maybe I could talk my friends into dressing up in weird robes and chanting. Praying that through some miracle of transubstantiation, our sacrifice in effigy would burn away the unholy blight that has infested the comics page.

Special thanks to photo girl Patti, who made this project possible.

What is wrong with Garfield. He rules the comic

pages! I think you need to get a life if that is

the way you spend your time.

I’m glad Garfield’s dead. I never liked him anyway. Heathcliff rocks!

The sad thing is that I have been burning small toys, stuffed animals, and Hot Wheels cars since my childhood. I would love to join your Saturday night burns/rituals. A Cabbage Patch Kid or Gizmo doll would burn nicely.

ummm i just want to point out that you said the garfield stuft doll was allready burn alittle before you got it. so even if the guy was worth money, he was already rendered valueless by the prefire… so you had nothing you could do but put the poor fellow out of his missery.

Garfield Rulz, Dudes! Check ‘im out:

You will burn in Hell.

I love Garfield, I hate you and I don’t give a f_ck what you think.

The Fans of Henrie Dereface applaud your on-going project to eliminate corrupt comic merchandise. Thank you for exposing the raw underbelly of the mega-comic-corporations. We added your graphic story to our list of favorite links…

…And congratulations on winning a Dottie, especially since the comic syndicate tries to control the outcome of all awards ceremonies. We look forward to your next important project.

Just thought you might like to know that you’re not the only person who’d like to see Garfiled dead.Check out: http://www.btinternet.com/

ong… you peeple are sooo sad…. have you nothing better to do than burn a stupid stuffed Garfield then complain about something absolutely irrelevant in the longrun?? this is crazy business.

A fine effort to advance scientific knowledge. Keep it up.

You might change your opinion about that other strip, however, if you check out the Dysfunctional Family Circus archive

I’ve seen the Dysfunctional Family Circus before. It actually makes the strip entertaining, something Keene has failed to do for 40 years.

It really does look like raw meat inside the Garfield. Well done! Can you do Ziggy next?

Perhaps you should think of expanding to live webcam executions.

I thought I was the only one who knew the truth about Jon Davis and his abomination.

Die Garfield Die! And death to all the humorless posers here who complained about the act of generosity detailed here!

.Rest In Pieces. I hope this does have some Voodoo properties and the awful orange fucker disappears off the face of the planet FOREVER.

It’s NEVER been funny. Objectively.

ps : You need to gird your loins and work on a serious rejoinder to Grst’s comment there – he has you writhing in the crushing grip of reason with that one.

I tried girding my loins once, but I developed a rash.

Aw, give the spoiled, unlikeable little cat a break. He should really retire, eh?

For warm, fuzzy feelings, you really need to read “Arlo and Janis” — what an adorable couple. (?) And their cat is a dead ringer for the rotten feline who owns me and whose name is Rambo.

My sincere thanks and admiration for saving me the trouble/expense of performing this civic contribution!

omg soo evil… yet so so funny! Just stay well away from my good buddy snoopy…

Ha ha ha ha ha! Burning that Garfield doll was cool! Burn burn burn fire fire fire die Garfield die. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Your anti-Garfield site’s pretty cool

You forgot that Garfield that all the wack jobs use to put in the WINDOWS OF THEIR CARS. I was little then, and wondered, “What the hell is wrong with these people?…don’t they have any dignity at all.

It was funny when they started making Garfield’s that just had their smashed tails hanging out of the trunks.

It was must better when all that garbage went AWAY.

Garfield has had this coming to him for a long time….

Oh and Lee….Snoopy should be next!!

hahahaha. garfield SUCKS.

Nice work. Sadly, I share my birthday with Garfield. Davis credits giving birth to his creation on June 19. Every year on my birthday, I get the newspaper and see pretty much the same regurgitated “It’s Garfield’s Birthday!” strip. I share the author’s belief that most comic strips have outlived thier purpose, kudos to the Calvin and Hobbes guy for getting out when he did.

Firstly I totally agree : GARFIELD SUCKS! JIM KNOWS IT SUCKS! HE’S SICK OF GARIFIELDOM NOW! ANY ORIGNALITY HAS BEEN TOTALLY SQUISHED. And its only getting worse by the day.

A minor gripe however:

“I think those cartoonists probably cherish the end product with the same amount of pride that a 14-year-old Malaysian girl feels when she finishes her 1,000th pair of Nike Air Jordans”

Dude, you might want to look at the world map before you make those kinds of statements. There’s isnt cruel child labour of that sort in malaysia.I should know, i’ve lived here all my life,and it wasnt blindfolded.The country aint perfect, but it doesnt take any of that sh*t either.

I dont deny the existence of such exploitation in the region, but please, get your facts straight.

I read “Stupid White Men” and Moore is right- brush up on your geography and separate what you hear about the world and what you actually know for sure. The last thing i want when i introduce myself as malaysian is for some person who has no knowledge whatsoever of the country to fix their entire view of my home based on your no-harm-intended statement.

My apologies for any crass language, and take care.

Embarrassing geography problem noted and corrected. My apologies.

Jim David actually does write ALL of the Garfield stips, and comics/books.

I have purchased several of his 1 of a kind strips over the years. I have even toured his studio, you couldn’t be more wrong, or more uneducated.

Hahaha, you’re totally right about everything concerning Garfield. Thank you for rightfully burning an affront to humanity.

GARFIELD SUCKS IS GAY!

YEAH! Torch that lasagne-sucking rat. Thank you. You made my day.

Berkely Breathed (sp?) freely speaks about Jim Davis farming out his Garfield work. I think you can do a search on the Onion’s website for the complete interview where he essentially says Jim Davis ain’t sh*t!

GARFIELD ROCKS. ARE YOU PPL STUPID? I VISITED THIS SITE TO SEE HOW I COULD KILL TIME, BUT I ONLY ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HATE GARFIELD. GO GARFIELD GO!!

Garfield is terrible, there are pretty much 5 basic jokes that davis unoriginally does variations on each week hes pretty much coasting if you read calvin and hobbes and then read garfield the paradigm shift from amzing to soulless is quite shocking,

there are really no good strips anymore it seems that all we have today is pale shadows of former strips, instead of Far side we have total dreck like “close to home” and “Reality check” instead of calvin we get the bucketts

there are some good strips out there like “pearls before swine” “monty” and “zits” but they are few and far between, most newspaper comic sections are full of dreck like ziggy andy capp hi and lois and other irrelevant strips from 40 years ago that are being written by teams of 5 people with the original artist being long dead or taking breaks from golf to sign his name on it, they even still write Beinging up father for gods sake,

there are no new insights into life or humour coming from these strips, the comics pages are a chore its liking eating a box of chocolates and biting into 10 of those weird orange mintcream ones before getting one that you sort of like in most cases the originals are far better, what we need is to have some “cartoonist reunion” with Mort Walker Jim davis, jerry hart, etc. put them into a tourbus and have the driver drive the bus off a cliff and then maybe thered be room for new ideas in the comics industry

just a short comment to you… if garfield sucks sooo much why even waste your time dribbling for as long as you did and btw if that is your pic then your sideburns are more outdated than any cartoon

because the fact that Garfield along with other inane strips are all we have to choose from in most newspapers while excellent strips like pearls before swine get low circulation is a travesty and should be a subject of more passion and debate than anything regarding the democratic primaries

A person who thinks that Garfield is not funny only deserves to die.

This Burning ritual has brought a smile to my face. Very well done! You should do another one soon!

I love GARFIELD.

This site is AWESOME. I think Garfield is an abomination, and is surviving solely by the support of people devoid of intellect.

You guys should really talk sometime. You damn near rival him for warped-ness lol

I’m actually from the same area as Jim Davis and live about 20 minutes away from the Paws, Inc. uhh, compound. I have met a few employees, who seem happy, but it’s slightly annoying living in a city inundated with twice as much Garfield crap per capita as any other place in the world (I don’t know how they can possibly stand it). Every ten feet you see some kind of Garfield paraphernelia, and it is sold at virtually every store, not to mention various frightening Garfield-themed foods all over town. Rumor has it the smothering presence of Garfield & Friends in Muncie, Indiana and the surrounding areas drove Davis’s son, who went to the high school across town from mine, into a serious battle with drugs and alcohol. Good to know, huh? True story!

How many beers did you guys have to drink to come up with such creative ways to burn a stuffed animal. Do you really think Jim Davis gives a shit about your Garfield burning ceremony. It’s so sad to see $14.95 plus tax of your friends hard earned money burn in flames.

Die Garfield-lovers! It’s because of you humourless twits that the rest of us has to suffer mediocre comics. Oh and hunger, disease and global warming are your fault too. And war, you cause war. I’m not sure about the Ebola virus, but considering what we know about you so far… probably your fault, somehow.

the people supporting garfield are the same douchebags responsible for the success of prop comics and improv comedy.

Breathed isn’t the only one. In 1986 (I believe that’s when it was done, anyway), Bill Watterson granted a rare interview (though Calvin & Hobbes was only 1 year old at the time, so it was probably nothing special then) in which the interviewer asks him what he thinks of Jim Davis.

Needless to say, Watterson’s response is hilarious, even at a time BEFORE he’d been embittered by the syndicates.

You can read the interview here:

YOU SUCK!! If you think that garfiled sucks so much maybe you should go suck yourself and get happy… on the other hand maybe you dont have anything to suck!! lol thats a funny picture. Anyways keep your smartass possest ideas to yourself. Thanks

hey its me again f-er’s. go jack off. GARFIELD WILL ROCK 4EVER. MWHAHAHAHAAAAAA.

ok ok Im gonna be nice this time around…Ill try anyways. So whats the big deal about garfield anyways. I mean really why do you hate him? Just to be “cool”? cause if you do NEWS FLASH…YOUR NOT.

thnaks will be checking in always so if someone wants to FIGHT with my garfieldness!! LATER

hey I think that you have every right to BURN GARFIELD!! I hate him. It’s like he thinks he’s the funnyest thing that ever hit America! Whatever later dudes surfs up.

wow, the anti-garfield responses have generally been intelligent and well thought out while the pro garfield ones have been ” YOu suck morons go suck yourselfs unless you have nothing to suck! garfield will rock 4eva!” the reason that garfield is popular is because most people unfortunately are morons, saying how many books garfield has sold is meaningless, because its like saying Kenny G is a better saxophonist than Coltrane since hes sold 70 million albums. If you are someone who likes both Kenny G and Garfield you should kill yourself or at least castrate yourself or your partner to ensure that the future of the world is at least marginally less stupid. The fact is the only original progressive newspaper strip out there is “Pearls before swine” and the rest are complete hackwork. Try watching Family guy and saying that theres anything in the comics pages that compares to its level of humour theres absolutely nothing which stands up which in my opinion is pretty sad

Wow.. u guys r soo gay. there is nothing wrong with Garfield!! Garfield rokz. u guys shall all burn in hell. I curse your name. go suk your mama. and u all can kiss my natural white ass.

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO GET THE DAILY COMIC STRIP

OF GARFIELD TO MY DESK TOP AT wcjzrba2@cox.net

THANK YOU ROBERT AUEN

Now how about Celine Dion?

What’s wrong with Celine? She was a wonderful singer.

Why burn Garfield? What did he ever do to you guys? You should be ashamed of yourself for burning the legendary Garfield! You should all bow down and kiss Garfields charred arse.

What did he do?! What did he DO?! Oh let’s see, he BRAINWASHED everyone into unfairly hating poor Nermal JUST because HE did, and he unfairly brainwashed people into hating Heathcliff even though Heathcliff came first.

You guys are so gay. Garfield is the best. I have everyone of his books,read them alot and find them funny every time. I have enough tickets to see the movie 6 times and i will. Know why… CAUSE GARFIELD ROKZ

Its me again. I am so ashamed of you. Burning Garfield. I think Garfield should burn you.

GARFIELD ROKZ. saying garfield sucks is like saying

What the heack is wrong with you? Just beacuase you don’t like the comic you burn a stuffed animal. Now that’s just stupid. If you hate it don’t read it. Waste of paper and ink talk about waste of fabric and cotton. You have some serious issues FREAK.

P.S. I’d shoot you anyway.

I have a question. Why do you hate him so much it’s just a comic? God what’s wrong with you people? I’s just a cat you don’t have to burn him. If you don’t like him who gives a shit. So leave garfield alone. Don’t you have somthing better to do with you time like go makeout with your pillow? LOSSERS.

Garfiels is worthless shit — and always has been. The nobodies who rush to defend this crap are just two-legged cattle, like the zombies who defend Michael Jackson.

shut up insecure ass! you just dont want to accept that garfield is more popular than you! LOSSER.

i think garfield is one of the best cat in and to allof you that hate him piss of.

Talk about waste,you ppl need to do something worthwhile

Okay, I totally love Garfield, but this post made me laugh my ASS off. (Oh if only it were that easy…heh) I had my husband read it and he had a nice laugh too. We’re cat lovers, and cat owners, but we loved this. Thanks for sharing. LOL

That is so funny, and so sad. I feel the same way about Garfield, and many of the other old, overdone strips that, mind bogglingly, are still in production (Tiger, Blondie and Dagwood, Beetle Baily, Wizard of Id, Hagar the Horrible, need I go on?) Papers that devote more than a half a page to these strips are simply too lazy to find something interesting. They don’t want to take a chance on strips like Get Fuzzy or Pearls Before Swine. Just because a strip is old doesn’t make it good. So thank you for saying what’s been on my mind…

…though it makes me sad, because when I was six I had that exact same stuffed Garfield toy and I loved it. When I was twelve, it got damaged in a flood and my dad burned it, along with all of my other stuffed animals. I don’t think he realize dhow attached I was to it…Now I think I have to find one on ebay…

hoola como estas espero q bien

ke paneleiros o k k tem essa cena a ver keimar um boneko de peluxe dahhhhhhhhh.

You know, I could be like everyone else on here and tell you that you suck or you’re going to burn in hell, but I won’t. No matter what I say, it probably won’t have an impact on you. I don’t understand what has happened to people, to burn a doll because….if you don’t like the comic strip, take it out on the creator, which you did. Burning a symbol of childhood happiness, like Garfield or any other cartoon, is just…..I don’t have a word for it. It’s beyond idiotic, cruel, cold, whatever you want to call it. Garfield is something I remember from my childhood, Lorenzo Music provided a voice that I thought was wonderful to bring life to the character. It’s your right to do whatever you want to a stuffed animal, but to me it just shows what’s happening to our world. Everything going on everywhere and we’re here burning character dolls of children’s comics. Say whatever you want about me, I can’t feel anymore anyway.

GARFIELD FOR EVER

Garfield might be cute to some, but he is not funny. Cute does not equal funny; the semi-literates who actually laugh at things like Garfield and Full House should be visibly marked so that we’ll all know to avoid them.

That Garfield can pass as funny is indicative of the dumbing down of our culture. THAT’S what makes me sad. If this effigy is a small spark of defiance to that, then I say “Well done”.

YOUUUUU SUCK ASSSSS I LOVE GARFIELD

Personally I think someone should stick a Fire cracker in your head and see how you like it.. Why do you waste your time destroying Garfield if you loathe him so much? Burning a plush toy of Garfield is just stupid and immature, its not going to help take the cartoon out of the papers, however it may get you into some trouble if you move on to burning larger things. Garfield is the best cartoon out there, and I’d like to see you make one that has this much character.

you suck. garfield is a legend and any cartoonist and artist can see that. anyone with a sense of humour can see that. just because YOU don’t find it funny, doesn’t mean to say the rest of us don’t. there’s no point makin a massive article about why YOU don’t like garfield because none of us care.

you don’t have a sense of humour and you don’t appreciate art. garfield is a living legend.

yes garfeild sucks big dick..calvin and hobbes all the way

hello estuvoooo exelent pero vozzzz no entenderrrr inglesssssssssss englisssss

What do you mean garfield sucks , if you had eyes you could see that garfield is gangsta, anybody cound see that the best cartoonist Jim Davis but how could he betray us garfield fans, just because jim davis is sort of stupid dsent mean you have to take it on poor little garfield goodness man. He created the coolest cat in history he is the king of comics someone needs to put Garfield back on tv for crying out lound look at the comicsand the website http://www.garfield.com .FOUR STINKIN WORDS GARFIELD IS THE BEST.

I am a huge garfield fan, however i found that execution rather amusing, and for those people who took the trouble to complain about this little humor based stunt are a the ones who are sad and pathetic, if you hated what he was doing to the chubby wee fellow then why the fuck did you keep reading?

I THINK U GUY R FREAKS LOOKEN 4 ATTION….ALL OF U NEED 2 GET A LIFE

AND DO U KNOW LITTLE KIDS HAVE SEEN THIS U R VERY DUMB PPL ….2 WASTE A CHILDS TOY AND BURN IT WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN 2 A CHILD THAT HAS NOTHING ………LOOK AT THE CHILD AROUND U SUFFERING WANTING JUST 2 HAVE 1 TOY IT COULD HAVE BEEN THAT TOY …

Tina, we appreciate your comments and have even started a collection at the office to help buy you a spell checker and a caps-lock key.

i hate mr bennett and he is a fat wanker

jag vill alla ska bli hund

*giggle* *giggle* *SNORT* Garfield is cute, but he has to die. That is hilarious! I wish I could’ve been there when you burned garfield. : )

Get Fuzzy is the best comic ever. It’s actually funny. Go here to see it:

Yo, it’s funny as hell, but it’s also a bit disturbing. And, is that the best you can truly do? Because if so…..LAME! Come on you could have like finished it off by pulling off the layer of fur/skin and ran it through a paper shredder or something. That would rock.

For those people who like Garfield… Get a Life. I mean seriously I don’t even think a damn homeless kid would a garfield plush, what the hell would they do with it anyway? Eat it? What? If people hate Garfield, then it’s their shit, but if you think Garfield is cute and funny, well then I have something to tell you…….IT’S A FAT ASS CAT WHO SLEEPS AND EATS ALL DAY. You pansies are all dumb fucks (the ones who complain about lighting a fricken’ plush on fire.)

hi. it’s me again. the annoying sell proclaimed psycho bitch. i didn’t say garfield is funny. i said he’s cute. there’s a difference. a big one. i am an animal lover, so i’d obiously think he’s cute.

paper shredder… not a bad idea. i ought to try that.

FYI, a garfield plush makes a great punching bag.

next time, use MORE EXPLOSIVES! *BOOM* BWA HA HA HA! DIE YOU UNFUNNY ANIMAL! EVEN IF YOU ARE CUTE! he he he he he he he he. watch out garfield, here i come!

BUCKY SHALL REIGN FOREVER!

i stick with what i’ve previously said. garfield is cute, but he has to GO TO HELL!

GARFIELD = >: [ EVIL ORANGE ASS

u guys all suck because i love garfield so POOP.

Garfield is the most soulless, repetitive, unfunny comic strip in the papers today, excluding perhaps Family Circus, Hagar the Horrible, Dennis the Menace, Wizard of Id, Blondie, Beetle Bailey, and many others that elude me at the moment. Jim Davis has inexplicably gotten rich off of a comic strip that wasn’t funny to begin with and is even less so now, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how that happened (other than the aforementioned explanation that people are idiots). Needless to say, I enjoyed the article. Davis is a hack who should burn in hell at one degree Celsius for each dollar he’s made off of that stupid, worthless cat.

This is depressing. I really need to buy that Calvin treasury that was released a few months back.

sorry, i have to tell you how much you suck

I’ve hated Garfield ever since the November 17, 2005 strip (I think that’s that date, I’m not sure). That’s the strip where Garfield looks out the window and says, quote:

“What a nice day But they never last Stupid nice day” Unquote.

I have left out the periods, because that’s what Davis does. When I go to school, I check into the library at sometime during the day, and I read the new Garfield strip. It sucks. I slam the paper down in frustration. I read the 1993 Peanuts strip directly above it. It makes me smile.

See, even the 90’s Peanuts strips are better than Garfield! No offense to that great comic, it’s just that the strips weren’t as amusing as, say, the early 60’s strips. Still a great comic, though. Charlie Brown did hit a home run in ’93, you know.

When Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts left the papers, the comic strip as we know it died a quick, painless death. Both those strips were the piÃ©ces des resistances of witty, thought-provoking comics. Now we have only a few mildly amusing strips (Adam is usually chuckle-worthy), and a lot of crap.

And to everyone who says Garfield is great: You need to have your faces shoved into a pile of smelling salts. Go read some GOOD comics for a change, not a dumb strip about an ambiguously gay bachelor and his cat.

You’ll probably enjoy the amusing scholarly treatise at http://wondermark.com/tcsd/stripdoc_5.html (as well as the http://wondermark.com site in general).

btw, I played the Milkman seen during the opening credits of the first “Garfield” (2004) movie (worked seven days), and as a stablehand (though I doubt I’ll be visible), I worked seven days on the sequel (yes there’s a sequel coming out this summer), “Garfield, A Tale of Two Kitties.” The “publicist” for both films, based on results, hates the films as much as you. Based on results (the attitude she imparts), she doesn’t want anyone to know the film/s exist (she probably sets fire to her own Garfield dolls…). She clearly succeeded in her quest, not only have no adults I’ve ever met seen the first film, some aren’t aware it was even *made*…! You know there’s a problem when it’s sabotaged in-house.

I actually quite like Garfield. He can be rather fun sometimes. The strips aren’t worth much today. However, the CBS cartoon Garfield and Friends was often quite witty and entertaining.

Also, he provided a necessary counterpoint to the overrated downer that is Peanuts. I remember when I was young they used to play the Charlie Brown Christmas Special followed by the Garfield Christmas Special. Everyone remembers the Charlie Brown one as being a classic. However, the Garfield one was also pretty good and the character of Jon’s grandmother was a real scream sometimes. Now, a few years ago I noticed that they now aired A Charlie Brown Christmas followed by Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales. Part way through the second show, I was considering either turning off the TV or slitting my wrists. Who in the world thought little kids with existential angst were funny? Or that they could be funny or entertaining for that long? One strip or one special is okay, but longer than that can cause some unwelcome depression.

As for why Garfield doesn’t seem funny now. On one hand, the set of gags is generally the same as it always is. On the other, we’ve been spoiled by fresher animal-based strips like Get Fuzzy and Over the Hedge. (I don’t really care for Pearls Before Swine. Rat’s just too much of a jerk. Garfield or Bucky Katt can be jerks sometimes, but they at least make it semi-entertaining. I just want to smack Rat).

You suck! Garfield is still funny in the strip (not the movies, they are too childish) and your dissing him is pathetic. Garfield is pure sarcasm most of the time and he makes me smile every morning. I still love watching him kick Odie off the table and always will. You just don’t get him, so you can go suck it!

ha ha ha ha the little bastard is dead . i hate the little fucker . die you little fuck , die . and all your bastard kids . . . . . . .

wow u have a lot of free time on ur hands dont ya?

Well now, this is fairly hilarious.

A: GRAFEIDL ROXCZK!! U ALOOL SCUK CAC K 4 burngin . 11eleven

B: No, Garfield sucks. Here’s why!

C: No, garfield rocks. 1111

D: No, Garfield suckss.

And so on, and so forth.

Article gave me quite a chuckle, and so did all the bitching. Keep up the good work.

garfield is the all-time worst strip in the universe.

and i say this as both an artist and a creative writer.

the artwork is the same copy every pane with only the most minor differences, and the storyline is more unimaginitive than a class in scat identification.

how the public and lame-assed editors can allow this

travesty to go on is beyond my comprehension. and i thank you folks for allowing me to vent, ‘cuz i’m a huge comic strip fan, and have wanted to have my say for ages.

oh, and to all of you who so viciously defend this miserable excuse for “comedy” and “art”, i suggest you get a life. learning to spell would ba a good idea too.

90% of posters here are sad, both the bashers and the defenders. But the bashers are worse since they think that calling those who have a different opinion inferior is mature.

I actually liked the earlier strips, though I rarely laugh at them out loud. Recent ones, however, are absolutely terrible. There’s probably a decent strip once a year from what I can tell. The other 364 days are horrid “I should exercise… oh wait, no” jokes. All the charm and wit is gone and it’s Garfield’s time to go.

Well sir i have a few choice words for you. I also read a similar article about how a man hated christmas and burned up a holiday shoppe. Now i won’t compare himt o you but that doesnt mean that you can bag on something that is probably more well-known than George Bush. He may be cynical and careless to his owner Jon but isnt that teh reality? Burning up a stuffed toy is pretty childish if you know where im coming from. It’s like saying i hate eggs! burn em up all of them. cant you deal your hatred towards something as silly as a comic strip toward something more useful! like politics or something? You know if you hated the strip so much why would you even bother to do things such as write have a page worth of stupidity and pictures of you frying up a stuffed toy?? you dont understand “fun” and “laughter” i suppose.. Garfield is still funny just to let you know. if garfield was crittically accalimed as “not funny” Jim Davis wouldnt be producing comic strips month after year! You obviously do a lot of research on this loving fun strip if you know so much about his new books, and merchandise, and that Jim Davis doesnt do the ink and coloring anymore. He makes the rough copies still and writes the jokes. how would you like to produce millions of strips a day to make others laugh at a guy who is abused my his cat WHO IN FACT loves him dearly. And a dog whos i.q is so low youd have to dig for it! you would need a team of professionals yes?? Another thing is that you say garfield is the source of evil in the world? No he actually makes people happy. Its people like you who burn toys as a way of showing thier dissaproval of a COMIC STRIP. Also do you know why it was so hard to burn him? Because he is a strong cat that is probably more famous than movie stars! To tie things off garfield is a legend no matter how “evil” and “dumb” he is too you. i know that i loved to read him and still look forward to reading his daily strip. Its almost christmas time and garfields getting greedy. (what a fine use of alleteration ehh?)It may be your opinion just know and keep in mind that this is a comic strip..not a bully thats going to come into your house and keep you hostage.

love liza-garfield lover forever too come!

Let him BURRRRRN.

When I read my first Garfield strip as a kid, I was appalled at what a complete a**hole that cat was. Soon after, I was appalled at how many people claimed to actually like Garfield. Apparently, for many people, being a complete a**hole suddenly becomes cute if you’re a cartoon cat 😛

HEY! Let’s get angry at a blogger for expressing his opinions because

“GARFIELD ROCKS. ARE YOU PPL STUPID? I VISITED THIS SITE TO SEE HOW I COULD KILL TIME, BUT I ONLY ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HATE GARFIELD. GO GARFIELD GO!!”

Thanks for the lulz that comment gave me.

I enjoyed reading Garfield when I was four or five. I giggled like a sick cat at most of the strips.

Now I must sit back and take a look in the mouth of that very sick cat.

It’s sick. Fortunately we were able to hook him up to the Merchandiser Life Supporter system and keep him alive through sales of coffee mugs.

I have to tread carefully here because I draw a strip that got kicked off the comic page of the UK Daily Mail a few years ago to make room for Garfield, so you might say “Of course you hate him”. But I tell you straight I hated that bland, unfunny strip and all its hokey characters LONG before it caused me to get the push. To my mind, most syndicated strips are pretty dead-tired. But yes, Garfield heads the list.

Interesting. You know, I’ve done “a little research” myself. At the Official Site and garfield.nfshost.com search site, I looked up two well-known Garfield terms- “lasagna” and “Monday” to see how many results would come up. As it turned out, both sites had less than 100 for “lasagna” and less than 150 for “Monday.”

Of course, you might say, “Well, that’s still a whole junk load of strips made about lasagna and Mondays,” keep in mind that Garfield has been around for 30 (soon 31) years, with a new strip every day since its debut on June 19, 1978. That’s about 11,000 strips made since. And with 250 strips made about lasagna and Mondays, that totals up to about 2 percent of the entire Garfield comic. 2 percent! We’ve had people saying Jim Davis writes thousands of such gags, and yet two search sites show that only 2% of the whole comic actually features either of the two running gags. Two aspects Garfield is so well known for, and it doesn’t even make up a majority of the 30 years the comic’s been around. Isn’t that something?

Somehow, there are so many people criticizing Garfield for being bland, repetitive, unimaginative, etc. Considering that there’s been over ten thousand strips made, you’d think there were more to the fat cat than typical common knowledge (he eats, he sleeps, he makes fun of Jon, he tells how dumb Odie is). Well, there is.

What about the time Jon and Garfield visited Aunt Gussie, someone who “used to double-date with Lizzie Borden” and wanted a pillow “stuffed with John Travolta’s chest hair” for Christmas?

Or Garfield leaving the faucet running (ending up in a flooded Arbuckle house) just to keep his sponge collection from drying out?

Or Garfield’s encounter with the world’s largest ball of twine?

Or Garfield and Odie getting lost and (among other events) working for Binky the Clown?

Or even Garfield and his many alter ego forms he occasionally utilized (e.g. Caped Avenger, Judo Cat, Evil Roy Gato)?

The sad thing is, then, that much of Garfield has become forgotten today, for some reason or another. And that could be one of the reasons that Garfield has nowadays become something to hate for being “bland, repetitive, unimaginative” based on what critics see. And from the looks of it, all they see are the modern strips, preferably those with little action going on (Caped Avenger? Forget it, kid.) along with a few strips from the past (a little bit of history never hurts, right) to conclude that Garfield must be bad. There’s not even a mention of the Garfield specials or cartoon show (as well as the movies, but not like they’d help out here, right?)

So basically, seeing a few strips or even as much as three books listed by the OP, Jim Davis can be dismissed as having “no funny Garfield books. Itâ€™s all a myth. Garfield has sucked from day one and will continue to suck for all eternity.” Yep. One “Garfield Greatest Hits” look at the comic and it’s all we need to know that it ain’t good. According to that logic, then, what’s so good about long-time artists like David Bowie? Or Miles Davis?

While I do agree that some of the more modern comic strips tend to be quite mediocre, Jim Davis does seem to be providing a breath of fresh air with some changes brought in. Heck, nates mentioned Charlie Brown hitting a home run back in 1993 just months before this happened- Jon finally gets Liz (and just after Jon proposes to Liz in the second movie- tie in, anyone?) during a rather mixed-up date. All these years of trying to get the right lover, he finally succeeds in late July of 2006. And the strip has gone quite a bit uphill since then. Not as significantly as the strip was in its prime, I’d say, but uphill nonetheless.

Then again, maybe it’s just that I’m different from others. Maybe it’s because I actually own an extensive Garfield collection that included the majority of the Garfield comics made (already up to #47- Garfield Gets His Just Desserts). Maybe it’s that Garfield is one of the only comics that I’m particularly into (along with Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side, as far as newspaper comics are concerned). And maybe it’s just that I don’t get the newspaper that much anymore, and thus there’s little reason, if at all, for me to complain about any “decline” in the newspaper comics that people on the Web like to nitpick about so much.

As far as I’m concerned at least, Garfield isn’t as repetitive as oft-described and deserves more credit than people tend to give it. As Jim Davis himself said on “30 Years of Laughs and Lasagna”, “This whole line of work is to make people happy and smile. Getting paid for it is just a bonus.” Well, Garfield tends to make me happy (peer pressure from Garfield haters notwithstanding), so it looks like Jim Davis is happy enough for that, not that he’s getting another buck because someone bought the newest compilation book or a rare collector’s plate. In fact, he even stated on The Daily Record, “I would like to slow down on the business side of it, but I always want to do the comic.”

I know this is quite a long post, but I think the main idea is that if you truly dislike Garfield, then feel free to do so, even if, I’m afraid, your “hatred for Garfield burns with the intensity of 1,000 white-hot suns.” But please, there’s no need to go forcing your opinion(s) upon others just because you find Garfield to be “the epitome of evil and hatred in the world.”

(I seem to have a long post, so let’s shorten it down, shall we?)

In fact, he even stated on The Daily Record, “I would like to slow down on the business side of it, but I always want to do the comic.”

I think the main idea is that if you truly dislike Garfield, then feel free to do so, even if, I’m afraid, your “hatred for Garfield burns with the intensity of 1,000 white-hot suns.” But please, there’s no need to go forcing your opinion(s) upon others just because you find Garfield to be “the epitome of evil and hatred in the world.” It just isnâ€™t right.

(I seem to have a really long post, so once again, let’s shorten it down.)

Hund garfield

The Dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed of the hound family. The breed's name is German and literally means badger dog (der Dachs-badger; der Hund-dog). The breed was developed to scent, chase, and hunt badgers and other hole-dwelling animals. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to in the United States and elsewhere as a wiener dog, hot dog, or sausage dog. Although Dachshund is a German word, it is rarely used in Germany, where the Dachshund is known most commonly as the Dackel or Teckel.

Proportions: A full-sized Dachshund averages 16 to 32 lb (7 to 14.5 kg), while the Miniature variety typically weighs less than 11 lb (5 kg). As early as the 1990s, owners' use of a third weight class became common, the "Tweenie", which included those Dachshunds that fell in between full and miniature, ranging from 10 to 15 lb (4.5 to 6.75 kg). Modern Dachshunds are characterized by their crooked legs, loose skin, and barrel-like chest, attributes that were deliberately added to the breed to increase their ability to burrow into tight spaces, as well as the long tail, which in hunting situations, is often used by the owner as a handle, to aid in extracting the Dachshund from the burrow hole after capturing its prey. They come in three coat varieties: Smooth, Longhaired, and Wirehaired; the Wirehaired variety is generally shorter in spine length than the other two. H. L. Mencken said that "A dachshund is a half-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long," which is their main claim to fame, although many poems and songs refer to them as "two dogs long". This characteristic has led them to be quite a recognizable breed and featured in many a joke and cartoon.

Coloring: Dachshunds have an enormous range of coloration. Dominant colors and patterns are red, or black & red, (the latter often being referred to informally as black & tan), but also occurring are cream, blue, wild boar, chocolate brown, fawn, and a lighter "boar" red. The reds range from coppers to deep rusts, with somewhat common coarse black hairs peppered along the back, tail, face, and ear edges, lending much character and an almost burnished appearance; this is often very desirable and is referred to among breeders and enthusiasts as "stag", or an "overlay". Solid black and solid chocolate-brown Dachshunds occur and, even though quite handsome, their colors are nonstandard; that is, the dogs are disqualified from conformance competitions in the U.S. and U.K. Older traditional patterns such as piebald and sable have recently been gaining popularity. Other color and pattern combinations have been developed; it is not uncommon to see Dachshunds with brown & red, chocolate & red, dapple, double dapple, and even white coats. Unfortunately, some of these colors require extensive inbreeding to obtain, and double dapples are often born eyeless or with severely underdeveloped eyes. Dapples of either kind usually sport light gray, light hazel, green or blue eyes, rather than the various shades of brown. Color aside, this eye condition has led to the double dapple coat being extremely disfavored among responsible breeders and owners.

Miniature Varieties: According to kennel club standards, the Miniature variety differs from the full-size only by size and weight, however, offspring from Miniature parents must never weigh more than the Miniature standard to be considered a Miniature as well.

They've Got Personality: Dachshunds are loyal, playful fun dogs, known for their propensity to chase small animals and birds with great determination and ferocity. Many dachshunds are a little strong headed, making them not as easy to train. According to the American Kennel Club's breed standards, "the Dachshund is clever, lively and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above and below ground work, with all the senses well-developed. Any display of shyness is a serious fault," and this would be a statement unanimously recognized by experienced owners. Their temperament and body language give the impression that they either do not know, or care, about their relatively small and comical stature. Individuals which are indulged may become snappy.

The Dachshund is known for his deep and soulful eyes and complex and telling facial expressions, the eyes having an "allure" that is quite commonly referenced in writings about the breed. Coat type is often considered to be associated with characteristic temperaments; the long-haired variety, for instance, is considered to be less excitable than the other types, having been cross-bred with the even-tempered Spaniel in order to obtain its characteristic long coat; however some who own long-haired Dachshunds might disagree with this statement. Because of the breed's characteristic barrel-like chest, the dachshund's lungs are unusually large, making for a sonorous and richly timbred bark that belies the dog's true size.

Back Problems: The breed is known to have spinal problems, due in part to an extremely long spinal column and short rib cage. The risk of injury can be worsened by obesity, which places greater strain on the vertebrae, but many an owner with an injured, skinny Dachshund will confirm that these problems are largely genetic. In order to prevent injury, it is recommended that Dachshunds be discouraged from jumping and taking stairs, and the importance of holding the dog properly cannot be stressed enough. Many veterinarians, however, indicate that as long as the Dachshund takes the stairs slowly, the dog's spine will manage just fine.

How to Hold Your Dachshund: The Dachshund should only be picked up when both front and rear portions of the body are fully supported. A good technique is the typical "football carry" used by running backs or others in a game when rushing the ball, with the dog tucked underneath the arm, against the body, and supported along the length of the carrier's bent arm, hand under the upper chest, and tail near the elbow. This method supports the weight of the rear body, preventing wiggling and twisting of the dog to right itself.

How to Treat Back Problems: As it has become increasingly apparent that the occurrence and severity of these spinal problems, or intervertebral disk disease, is largely hereditary, responsible breeders are working to eliminate this characteristic in the breed. Treatment consists of various combinations of crate confinement and courses of anti-inflammatory medications (steroids), and may even lead to surgical intervention to remove the troublesome disk(s). Other treatments that have been used with some success include TENS, acupuncture, physical therapy, moxibustion, chiropractic manipulation, and massage. The use of arthritis medication such as Rimadyl, (which failed clinical trials for humans), has reverted to the subjects of its previous testing: dogs, with great results in relieving skeletal back pain.

Dachshund History: Some have theorized that the early roots of the Dachshund go back to Ancient Egypt, where engravings were made featuring short-legged hunting dogs. But in its modern incarnation, the Dachshund is a creation of European breeders, and includes elements of German, French, and English hounds and terriers. Dachshunds have been kept by royal courts all over Europe, including that of Queen Victoria, who was particularly enamored of the breed.

Symbol of Germany: Dachshunds have traditionally been viewed as a symbol of Germany, despite their pan-European heritage. During World War I the animals -- a favorite of Kaiser Wilhelm II -- fell so far out of favor in England and the United States that Dachshunds were stoned to death in the streets. Many Americans began referring to Dachshunds as "liberty pups", and political cartoonists commonly used the image of the Dachshund to ridicule Germany. The stigma of the association was revived to a greatly reduced extent during World War II, and it quickly faded away following the war's end. German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was also known for keeping Dachshunds. The Dachshund for this association with Germany was chosen to be the first official mascot for the 1972 Summer Olympics with the name "Waldi".

Wiener Racing: Some people train and enter their Dachshunds to compete in Dachshund racing, such as the Wiener Nationals. Several races across the country routinely draw several thousand attendees, including races in Buda, TX, Los Alamitos, CA, and Findlay, OH. Despite the popularity of these events, the Dachshund Club of America opposes "wiener racing", as many greyhound tracks use the events to draw large crowds to their facilities. The DCA also is worried about potential injuries to dogs, due to their predisposition to back injuries.

Earthdog Trials: Another favorite sport is earthdog trials, in which dachshunds enter tunnels with dead ends and obstacles attempting to locate an artificial bait or live but caged and protected mice. Dachshunds, being true scent hounds, also compete in scent tracking events, with a national championship sponsored every year by the DCA.

Hot Dog Name Sake: The naming of the modern American hot dog is supposedly influenced by the Dachshund. In 1852, the butcher's guild in Frankfurt-am-Main created a smoked, spiced sausage in a thin casing, dubbed a "little-dog" or "dachshund sausage" for its obvious resemblance to the low-riding German dog. The popular legend on the etymology of hot dog holds that a cartoonist named Tad Dorgan attended a polo match in New York in 1901 where vendors roamed the aisles imploring patrons to "get your red-hot dachshund sausages." Enchanted, Dorgan drew a smiling dachshund nestled in a long bun, but couldn't spell dachshund, so he captioned it "hot dog!" and thus the food got its name. Although charming, this legend has never been confirmed.

Popular Pooch: Dachshunds are a popular pet in the United States, ranking 5th most common dog breed. They are a popular dog among apartment dwellers, vying with the poodle for rank as the most common breed in New York City in recent years. One will find varying degrees of organized local Dachshund clubs in most major American cities, including New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Chicago. American Dachshund enthusiasts will enjoy their visits to overseas, as the breed's popularity is legion in places such as Germany, France, Switzerland,

Hungary, and Japan.
