I know there is an air of spoiled dachshund whenever people see the little kielbasa settled into his own blankie covered chair whenever we take him to lunch with us, but there is indeed a very practical side to this arrangement of cuteness. Perched high enough for waiters and waitresses to coo at him, when he is in his own chair, he is also too high up to be hoovering up Cheerios and floor crumbs and ketchup spills, and he is too high up to be bothered by other dogs and their curious noses. Which isn't to say he might still feel tempted to bark at them, but at least he is within easy reach to distract and refocus, so that the zen of lunch for everyone can be quickly restored.
There is hardly a downside at all for our little lunchtime chair arrangement, save for the times when it seems that our chairs are a little too short or the tables too tall, and some puppy is left adorably staring into granite.
um, mom, can u please let me know when the waitress lady brings me my donut? :)

Oh, Baxter....speaking as a short person I know your misery.
However, remember two things:
1) be thankful that you are not a mini-dachshund like my little Klaus
2) short dachshunds are just so cute, adorable and lovable.
B,
We understand how looking spoiled (which we kinda are) can have a function. We both have booster seats in the car. It keeps us off mom's lap so she can drive safely and gives us a great view. We wish our city had doggy friendly dining establishments too!

They probably think you sit at the table at home. Who knows, maybe you do. They would be lucky to have a well mannered little man like you at their table.
