Saw this on one of my rescue lists and had to share (and probably quite true!...also explains a lot!!!)
On the first day, God created the dachshund and He saw that he was good.
On the second day, God created man, and well, God was not impressed.
On the third day, God and the dachshund met to decide what to do with
the man and they determined he should be the dachshund's servant.
On the fourth day, God and the dachshund trained the man to get food,
get water and to make a fuss over the dachshund.
On the fifth day, the dachshund said to God, "Hey, Big Guy, this is kind
of fun to be waited on foot and foot, but what's next? " So God created
woman. That same day, God and the dachshund began the woman's training.
She was trained to tell the man exactly when to get water and when
exactly to get food so that God and the dachshund would not have to be
bothered.
On the sixth day, the woman found some apples and told the man to take
them to the dachshund. The dachshund, on seeing the apples said, "Hey!
Those are God's apples off His tree, we are not supposed to eat them!"
The man said, "OK, I will eat them myself!" And he did and shared them
with the woman. Well, God got pretty ticked and He threw the man and
woman out of the area. And God was left alone with the dachshund.
On the seventh day, God thought about taking a rest, but the dachshund
was hungry and thirsty and God had to get up early to take care of the
dachshund ,because the man and the woman were gone.
Once God got used to getting up really early to tend to the dachshund's
needs, things settled into a sort of routine. God would get up, dig the
dachshund out of its warm burrow in the clouds and take the dachshund
to an area to take care of business. This is where hail comes from.
Later, God would find the dachshund food and feed it from His own hand
and give the dachshund over to the angels with which to play. The
dachshund would race back and forth over the clouds with the angels in
tow, racing here and there and tearing up the sky. This is where
tornadoes come from; from dachshunds running back and forth over the
tops of the clouds.
In the evening, after the dachshund was really tired after playing with
the angels, God would take it back into His bed, burrowed in the clouds.
But the dachshund always wanted a night light on. This is where sunsets
come from; the dachshund night light.
And God has been looking after little dachshunds ever since.
