My Neighbor's Dachshund

My next door neighbor has a little dog Who lives his life close to the ground They laughingly call him "Stretch" A much sweeter dog cannot be found Stretch has an" I can do it" attitude He tries and tries to jump the fence Now really, its just my own opinion But I think he's more than a little dense He tries to bring in the morning paper Between his legs he lets it drag along Almost every day he trips and falls Never able to figure out what's wrong He brings a bit of fun to the neighborhood We gladly doggie- sit when they're away This goofy little dog with six inch legs Has a way of brightening up our day

A delightful piece, not sure our neighbors would doggie-sit for Simon. But our son will come over and stay with him. Congratulations on your win...Even without your title, the breed would have been obvious. Love that Stretch.
