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!
Funny and truly tricky prompt but well done, Judy 🙂

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.

Yes, they do certainly look cute. Thank goodness for the good old haiku which got me out of this tricky one! 🙂

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.

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.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
