When my kids were younger, they were known to throw a tantrum or two if they were not ready to hit the hay. I get it!<\/p>\n That said, I don\u2019t recall any of them emitting menacing growls\u2014phew! Tons of whining but no frightening howls.<\/p>\n Oh Waffles! You\u2019re too much! Such a funny but moody little fella!<\/p>\n Sure, Dachshunds<\/a> can be a little moody! But it\u2019s usually more about personality and breed traits than actual mood swings.<\/p>\n Originally bred to hunt badgers, Dachshunds are independent, strong-willed, and bold!<\/p>\n Still, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any reason for Waffles to growl at his mamma. In fact, it looks like he\u2019s got a super comfy setup that a lot of other dogs would envy!<\/p>\n I think the best solution for Mom here is to just keep rubbing that belly until Waffles falls asleep. I\u2019m sure he looks like a little angel when he\u2019s slumbering, but boy, is he devilish at bedtime!<\/p>\n Go to sleep, Waffles!<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Feb 14, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
