As you may have known, dachshund is one of the hound dogs. I love hunting, chewing, and water. When I was a baby, I chewed whatever I could
reach...chairs,desks,tables,sticks,slippers,even my master's hand. I stopped doing that(chewing) a long time ago. Have to behave well so that Hootang will follow my
pawprint. However, the water is still untolerable. As humans take a bath,..I take a "bowl" or a "pond". We have a few bowls sitting outside the house. Grandmom
grows lotuses in those bowls. You know...it's really hot here in Thailand. I just have to help myself out. So, in a bright-sunny day you always hear a scream...
"NOoooo, Cylo!" Sometimes it was not so hot but I was so sweaty after my little workout.
I found it was so much fun diving in the muddy water chewed some lotus stem...yam!....I love it.
I got caught in the lotus bowl . The muddy water sure smells good. You may notice that grandmom tried to surround the bowl with
flowers to block the way to the bowl. She, for somehow, had underestimated me.
So she came up with a great idea, covering the lotus bowl with a net. That really worked. Well,... I'm a smart dog who knows when to stop a nasty behavior. I didn't
even try to break thru it this time. I just gave her my intelligent look once, then jumped into a fish pond instead. She couldn't say any word though..... (but
screaming).
