As you can see from the above picture, Taz has finally met his match in my mini-Dachshund Shorty. Taz had lasted through our biggest cat, Tuff and our other dog, Kelsey. But he didn’t stand a chance with Shorty. Soon after Shorty was done disemboweling Taz, he moved on to a stuffed fish and gutted it in record time as well. Needless to say, I won’t be buying stuffed animals for Shorty to play with anymore. It’ll have to be made of Titanium if it’s going to last more than 2 days. I think Shorty is actually some kind of terminator dog. Look at those eyes…
As an aside, yesterday Shorty killed a large field rat that had foolishly found its way up to our patio. Shorty was digging around under a tarp and going nuts trying to get the rat. Finally, the rat tried to make a dash for freedom, but he underestimated Shorty’s ability to go from 0-60 in less than 2 seconds. Shorty caught up with him and shook him until the rat’s back broke. It died a few seconds later. He’s a better mouser than our cats!
