![]() ![]() ![]() The sounds were so appealing, that I just had to take the sleek, wiggly little sausage doggie out of the box and cradle him on my lap, thereby setting a precedent which is carried on to this day. What I do remember is that appealing little whine coming from the cardboard box we were bringing him home in. I guess it really doesn't matter now anyway. I've forgotten why we decided on a dachshund to replace the Chihuahua we had before, who guarded us, the house and the farm with all the fierceness and determination of a hundred-pound German shepherd until the day he died. How did this one turn out to be a house dog who gets treated like a people-and acts like one most of the time? Maybe it's because for the first time in our lives we actually paid money for a pet, the princely sum of a hundred dollars. Shucks, we've had other doggies and they stayed outside most of the time on our hundred-acre farm where we grow Christmas trees and pretend we're making a living at it. It isn't the fact that we got a dog which is so puzzling it is that we allowed it to become a house dog. A reddish-brown, shorthaired dachshund, to be specific, weight sixteen pounds, going on forty when lap-sitting, which is his preferred position. This just goes to show that you should never laugh at other people's quirks, because guess what? In the prime of our Golden Years we unaccountably lost our sanity one day and saddled ourselves with a house dog. You've seen them, too, haven't you? Betty and I both agreed there must be something really peculiar about that type of person and that you'd never catch us making such idiots of ourselves. They even refer to themselves as Mama and Daddy when talking to the dog, and take it everywhere they go and spoil it rotten and. My wife Betty and I used to laugh at those old folks who own a house dog and speak to it as if it were human.
