I have managed to stick with the prompts so far for Linda’s Just Jot It January challenge. Today’s however, is rather tricky as I do not have a dachshund, nor have I ever even met one!
Hmmm, I know, I will write a haiku about one!
Short legs, long body
Skilled in the art of hunting
Looks like a sausage!

I love what you did with this word, Judy. Bought a chuckle to me.
Toby often gets mistaken for a sausage dog. I don’t know why, other then it may have something to do with his short legs. Then again, I have short legs and I’ve never been called a sausage! 🙂

HaHa! That gave me a chuckle Hugh! I was called ‘dumpling’ as a baby, but never sausage – my legs are quite short too!

HAHAHA! I have also got short little legs too! Poor Toby, he must not like that very much! I think us shorties should stand up and be counted (not that anyone would notice us)! 🙂

Exactly! I was once standing up waiting for my Manager’s Boss to come into the room. My boss said “Stand up, Hugh!”
“I am” I said, “I am.” We both burst out laughing at the wrong time.

There’s a peculiar sophistication in the look of a dachshund. Very good haiku, Judy! Especially considering that you don’t have that type of dog.

Ha!ha!Love it. When in doubt Haiku! Not a bad rule for lots of situations!
I’ve known a few sausage dogs, some nice and some quite vicious and neurotic!It worries me what human selective breeding does to animals. Cute to look at though.
