Dachshunds

Wiener dogs! Hot dogs! That other name you can’t spell! That’s right, we’re talking about the dachshund. I still have to check the word every time I type it. Now, I realise that this is the third short-legged dog that I’ve done, and I’ve only done four dogs so far. I understand that means that this blog is, like, seventy-five percent short-legged doggos so none of them would be helpful to a professional carpet cleaning company St Catharines ON.

Basset Hounds

Which is very important. (My patronus, in case anyone cares, is a dolphin. Unexpected, but not disappointing. Like when your catering company shows up with salmon instead of chicken.) Also, I really like the basset hound from the animated Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. At least, I’m fairly sure he was supposed to be a basset hound. Either way, his name was Toby, and I think that if I should ever get a basset hound, his name will very likely be Toby, too.

I think you will find that the answer is no, that there is no dog better suited to such a noble-yet-bad-ass name. I think they are one of the most beautiful dogs I’ve ever seen. They look so proud and beautiful. I just want to brush them and stroke their coats and tell them they’re good.
