Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #102

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

at Two Spoiled Cats


Here is today's inspiration 

As soon as I saw this photo, I knew exactly what I would write!


 Toto the mighty mini Dachshund


He was long and low

but no one could say he was slow

His favorite toy was anything that was not HIS

Toto and his human sissy were joined at the hip

Until her Barbie's passed his lips

Every chance he got he grabbed and ran

Barbie's legs were his favorite.

My husband called him a

LEG MAN

SIDE NOTE: He would always grab the Barbie when his sister was looking at him.  Toto always grabbed them by the legs. I would hear her yell NO Toto NO.  He would run to the kitchen to the patio door that I had opened for him. Out into the back yard and around the house they ran. He ran at Mach Dach speed.  She never caught him. Back into the house he ran to deposit the Barbie back where he found her.

  4. too funny, love this story.. Leg man it is, big or small dog doesn't matter. we had a dog named Fritz, part dachschund part chihuahua. We got him when Dan was 4 and he loved Dan, slept with him. and he could run dach speed. He looked like a dachsund with long legs. not the most beautiful in the world....

  9. That photo says to me: every time I ask the humans to save a chicken leg for me, they never do. So … revenge! Bwahahahaha!

    Oh, and I can remember puppy Chester playing keep-away with one of my collection dolls. He eventually learned those were NOT squeaky toys!
