DACHSHUFDS

The dachshund is a long, mar
row dog that spends all its time
growing in one direction.
Its face is so far from its
stomach it has to hire a guide
so its meals won't get lost. And
it has to start eating at 3 in
the afternoon to get its food to
its appetite by dinner time.
The dachshund is the only dog
known that can stand on the
front porch and sit down in the
kitchen.
One half of a dachshund can
be coming home while the other
half is still going up town.
The dachshund says badly in
the middle because it has only
a few legs. The only thing
that makes a dachshund jealous
Is a ccnt2eGe.
