Sing it with me

There's no other dog like a doxie
Walking so close to the ground.
They're stubborn and sly as a fox and ...
The happiest pets to be found.
Most kinds of dogs seem to either
Have shapes or proportions all wrong.
They're either one way or the other
But dachshunds are both short and long.
Doxie, meine doxie
The best canine under the sun!
Call them weiner or sausage or hot dog,
We know that they're number one!

I wish I could take credit for these brilliant lyrics, but this is the Dachshund Song, which is, I'm told, sung with great vigor at dachshund meetups nationwide.

We're dogsitting Schotzie and Leibling this week. They are excellent nap companions.
