I'm still in the grip of some virus or other picked up when I visited Vegas earlier this month. It's just me and Beka, the mini-dachshund, here for what festivities we might get up. Fortunately, I do have a bottle of sangria for me, and there's various dog treats around to help make Beka happy. If a mini-dachshund can get happier than having six acres of Florida bush to sniff around in. |
Dachshund? DACHSHUND?!

Huzzah! Someone who actually knows what "dachshund" means!
Anyone who pronounces it like the surname in "Sense and Sensibility" gets a tongue-lashing. And not in a nice way. |
Beka is a mini-dachshund from rabbit-hunting lines. The critical morphological limit is chest circumference, which defines the smallest hole she can get down. Beka has a 31cm circumference, which puts her just a centimeter too large to be classed as a Kaninchenteckel. She doesn't seem to have become discouraged by this, and chases rabbits anyway. |
My wife and I had a cocker spaniel years ago that spotted a "bunny" and took off after it. When he finally caught it, the "bunny" turned out to be a jack rabbit that kicked him hard enough to sprain the dog's back and dislocate one elbow. His enthusiasm for chasing bunnies dropped off noticeably after that. |
I always wondered where the terms "car-jacking" and "hijacking" originated.
Bunnies with attitude, clearly. |
