Anyone Know this poem?

[K2]

Does anyone know the poem about Dachsie colors? I don't remember who it's by. But I remember seeing it and thinking it would be nice to print it out and frame it and put it up in my new place!

No, not familiar with that one! I'm sure one of our highly knowledgable members will be though!

I found it~for those of you interested:

"HOW GOD MADE DACHSHUNDS"


God made a little dachsie to brighten up our day-

He took a bit of sunshine- Laughter, love, and play-

and rolled it up in a sausage shape just right for a hug,

with bright eyes full of mischief set in its little mug.

With little paws a pattering, to take it here and there-

and a cold wet nose-but then He thought, "Oh, what about the hair?

Shall I make it long and silky, or wiry, that's so sweet,

or make it simple, and have it smooth and satiny and neat?

And what about the color- how can I pick just one?

Shall it be black, or red or brown or dappled, just for fun?"

He pondered while He made the world, And all creatures great and small-

And then the answer came to Him- "OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!!"

So remember that a dachshund is special, from above-

His coat of many colors is a sign of God's great Love.
