I am not a dog.
I am a Dachshund.
I'm half wolverine, half barb wire and all attitude.
I am either your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on YOUR attitude.
I can fight the wildest raccoon or play with the gentlest child.
I can hunt all day in snow storms, pouring rain or blistering heat and then ask you to throw the ball when we get done.
I will argue with you at every turn. After all, I know what I'm doing and the best way to get it done.
I am easy to feed. I will eat your steak or the dead, rotten rabbit I found in the field.
You will never be without a navigator in the truck.
I will protect you from burglars, raccoons, badgers and that strange pesky shadow in the corner of the house.
I will hog the bed and the couch.
I will steal your sandwich, your chair, your boot, and your heart.
You will never have to go to the bathroom alone ever again.
I will lick your face right after I eat the head off the rabbit I just killed in the yard.
I will sleep next to you when you are sick and heal you with my love.
I am DACHSHUND.
Respect me.
Love me.
But NEVER underestimate me.
