THE DACHSHUND

THE DACHSHUND

 

My funny features may abound,

Short legs, long body, low to ground,

But I'm about the perfect pal

For man or woman, boy or gal.

I'm gentle, very playful, kind.

I housebreak fast

'Cause I'm refined.

I'm smart but never sly or foxy,

No!  Don't underrate the Dachsie!
