I'm having trouble understanding the following sentence:
"Ich mache daszumindest soweit wie ich das schaffe."
Can someone translate that? Thanks.

Dachshunds are really cute. But I don't think it's got to do with them. lol.

The possible translations are:
1."I'm doing that (it), at least as far as I'm able to."
2. "I shall do that (it), at least as far as it's within my ability."
Colloquial German hardly ever uses the future tense, especially if the meaning of "future event" is clear from the context.

It's something to do with a dachshund and an ice cream.

According to babelfish it is as stated above, "I make to that-at least as far as I create."
But that does seem to be a rough translation.

Something like, I can do it if I try hard enough.
I don't think that third word should be all together like that.
