Everybody Loves a Weiner Dog!

This is a picture that was emailed to me some time ago. Kris thinks that we should get Ellie a dog bed shaped like a hot dog bun... Who nicknamed them weiner dogs anyway? I prefer the dignified term "Dachshund". And I don't know why some people say "Docson" or "Dobson" or "Dashhound" because it is pronounced "Dash-hund". Maybe all of this mispronunciation is what provoked the nickname "weiner dog" in the first place!
