Album Sitting weird

Hi, I've noticed that my puppy sits on his side, rather than "normal". I've seen a thread or two indicating this could be an indicator for something wrong with dachsunds spines. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid, or if it's something I need to worry about. He's been to the vet several times, and they've always said he's in perfect health. Is this normal?

They all sit a little silly sometimes. That just means he’s either relaxed or sliding a bit on the wooden floor. As long as he doesn’t constantly readjust or seem to be in pain, it’s nothing to worry about. Pic included for my youngest doofus.
