As a pup she sailed through the air Jumping from chair to chair An eagle's elegant poise void Just a thud 'pon the air Those short legs carried her swiftly As her chest drug the ground Most all small furry creatures drew A bristle and grrrr sound Her red coat matched her fiery growl As enemies she faced Until that brave cat stood her ground And a red dachshund chased The moral of this story is Don't get all bristled up You might meet your match dear friend In a small dachshund pup Sponsor: Rob Carmach Contest: Dachshunds Written: January 26, 2015 I puppy sat and now dog sit my daughter's dachshund Her personality is still the same fiery.. Fiery can have either two or three syllables I used it as two.. This is a form of Poulter's measure..

Ahhh . . . Friends of mine has two Dachshunds. They wanted to buy a Dachshund puppy and when they went to see it they found out there were two male pups born together. They couldn't make up their minds which one to take, so the took both of them. One black and one tan. And you are correct in portraying Dachshunds are fearless.

Congratulations, Sara, we never had a dog until my son got a red dachshund from his girlfriend as a Christmas present. Boy, could that dog strut. What I remember most about Buster is his "bossy" attitude when my husband got his own dachshund - Simon. Good reading, Sara.

a fiery love . . . a fiery zest for life . . . knowing when to growl and when to run is a life lesson we all must learn -- sometimes to bruised ego! Loved your poem. 7
