Simple solution to cat boxes:Yes, the Frank the Tank might get me up at 0400, but to be fair, I might have gone to bed early the night before, maybe 1900 and not taken him for his evening walk... not to mention, my insomnia, so if I'm up, he thinks, fuck it, let's go for a walk...
We have had a few Dachshunds, and yes they are hard to house train... but usually they can be trained to use puppy pads, more or less.
What's worse than cleaning up puppy pads??? Fucking cat boxes. It makes me gag every single time I dump the old litterbox... I've been away for 2 weeks and I guarantee she has not changed the fucking cat t litter since I've been gone. So I have that to look forward to, when I get home.
And just my 2 cents worth, you should have kept the Dachshund, they are great dogs.

Still no land mines, and your chipmunk problem goes away.
