How God Made the Dachshund
by Julie Wrigley Smith

​

God made a little doxie to brighten up our day ~
He took a bit of sunshine ~ laughter, love, and play ~
and rolled it up in a sausage shape just right for a hug,
with bright eyes full of mischief set in its little mug.
With little paws a pattering, to take it here and there ~
and a cold wet nose ~ but then he thought,
"Oh, what about the hair?"
Shall I make it long and silky, or wiry, that’s so sweet,
or make it simple, and have it smooth and satiny and neat?
And what about the color ~ how can I pick just one?
Shall it be black, or red or brown or dappled, just for fun?”
He pondered while he made the world,
and all creatures great and small ~
and then the answer came to Him ~
“OF COURSE! I’ll make them ALL!”
So remember that a dachshund is a special gift from above ~

his coat of many colors is a sign of God’s abundant Love.
