Easily Distracted By Wieners Blanket for Dachshund Fans

Easily Distracted By Wieners Blanket shows a grid of dachshund sayings and cartoon wiener dogs, and the joke is written for anyone who knows exactly how a dachshund stops a conversation mid-sentence. The top left tile reads “Easily Distracted By Wieners,” a line that makes you grin before you have even found the dog.

What the print says

The design is a patchwork of square tiles in brown, orange, cream and soft gray, each with its own message and its own little dog. The top row carries “Proud To have A Little Wiener” over a dog on a skateboard, and “Dachshund kisses Fix Everything” over a dog stretched out below the words. Along the right side, “I Asked God For A True Friend so he Sent Me A Dachshund” sits above “Sorry I can't I have PLANS with my DOG,” with a paw print tucked in the corner. Down the left side you will see “Once You've Lived with a Dachshund You Can Never Live Without One” and a large LOVE tile with a dog in a striped scarf. The middle of the blanket holds the largest tile, “Just a Girl Who loves Dachshunds,” where a dog wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and a pink bandana looks out at you. Lower down, the grid continues with “All You Need is Love and a Dachshund,” “I Have Got Friends in Low Places,” “Never Stand Between a Girl and Her Doxie,” “If You Don't have One You'll Never understand,” and “Home is where my Dachshund is.” Between the rows a bone-and-paw-print band keeps the warm brown tones moving across the throw.

Who sees themselves in it

This is for the person whose phone is full of dachshund photos and whose coat always carries a few stray hairs. You will feel seen when you spot “Sorry I can't I have PLANS with my DOG” and realize it is almost a true story. It also suits the owner of a rescue doxie who has learned that short legs and long backs need extra care on the couch, and the friend who keeps a spare leash in the car just in case.

Meant as a gift

Birthdays and housewarmings are natural moments for this throw, especially when the recipient just brought home a new puppy. It also works for a friend who talks about her dachshund at every dinner, because the grid of sayings gives you plenty to laugh about together. Pick the Fleece Throw for a light layer on the sofa or the Sherpa Throw for cooler evenings with the dog curled up beside you.
