Dash, the dachshund has more stories to report for than all the other dogs for the time being. there is too much of action for me, maybe coz so much is for the first time and then for the small dog that he is...keeping busy is important for himself. there is certainly no question of lazing around like the bigger sized women of his species. moreover, being the only male presence he sure has to keep his eyes on all sides of the house...!!!
you must be told about all the enemies that he has to contend with on a daily basis. on the front side of the house, he has to deal with squirrels and birds who feed at the bowls meant for them. in the garden there are plenty of garden lizards- everyday i am losing some or the other plant or pot! in the back-lawn again he has to keep the birds and more squirrels at bay. lately, there are monkeys straying into the house-mostly on the terraces. he has to object about that quite a bit. inside the house too...lizards keep him on his toes, especially in the guest room and the kitchen.
most of our afternoons we are in and around the lobby and periodically he jumps and barks at the lizards around. yesterday, between him and nikki they got one and killed it. then i shooed them away and had to send the poor dead thing on its last journey.
now the story for which this entry. on the terrace too, Dash has discovered a hidden presence in the drain pipe!!! and when i took pictures of it yesterday, for i found the whole thing so funny, i decided to name it the drain-pipe devil! the pictures have titles here and they are like this:
- ok drain pipe devil i know you are there;
- oh you dare to call out to me;
- i know you are there...i can see you:)
