GUYS! Be Calm! I was off delivering a butt-load of babies! I am telling you, between me and the midwife before me, 8 new human beings in 36 hr. Hectic.

OK, the truth? I have no idea. He's not my dog. When I joined up here, I said I was looking for an avatar of a dachshund running. Snapdragen found me this one, thanks again, Snapper!, and I love him very, very much! But I have no idea what that is. I think it's a bandana. Or a banana? Snap, any idea?

My beloved dachshund was Schatzi, who lived to be 19. She was often the sanest member of our family, IMHO. It's a good luck charm for me to see a dachshund during a race. When I did the Chgo Marathon, I saw at least 4 of them. Schatzi looked like this guy. To me, "run like a dachshund" is so silly, because their legs are about 2" long. But they run with all their heart, joy streaming out behind them. I'm not much of a runner, but I do it anyways, and I try to do it with joy. Like a dachshund!

Thanks for asking! L.

um... I know you're the "trained professional", but I don't think that's where they come from!

so it's settled. it's a banana.

"Butt load" is professional terminology. It's the official term for "too darned many at one time".

OK. Banana. But it begs the question: Why? Snaaaaaap?

It is a Banana Slug. The California state mollusk. It is generally understood that dachshunds are the best hunters of the banana slug because they can travel close to the ground under all the brush. The grand champion banana slug hunter, "Shawshank" was famous for tunneling through miles of muck to find his quarry. Banana slug is a delicacy in California sushi bars, and Shawshank earned many culinary awards..

Hahahahahaha! I did not know this! Dachshunds are uniquely skilled! Go down badger holes, drag out badger! Cruise through muck, find banana slugs! They only live to serve!

Yeah well if you believe that I have some property in Louisiana...

Are you sure a banana wasn't involved?

OK, time for me to go to bed.
