Teaching a Dachshund to catch snow on their tongue.
Weather has been a bit strange in the Northwest this year. In February the weather started getting so warm that we were sure Winter was all but over. Unfortunately, Winter struck back and we found ourselves dodging falling snow on Saturday. The snow didn’t last long but we did get a chance to give the dachshunds a lesson in the art of catching snow on your tongue.
Abbie did her best but she never quite got the hang of it. She seemed to be doing a better job of imitating Michael Jordan than catching snowflakes.
Mikkey failed for entirely different reasons. Given the opportunity to try and lick snow or lick Phoenix there really was no contest in his mind as you can see above. So while our attempt at teaching the finer points of winter frolicking to the dachshunds was less than successful it should be noted that a good time was had by all. Particularly Weasel who was able to test out his birthday present a Canon 40D which replaced the outdated Olympus E-10 he’d been using.
