Stuart is a miniature dachshund. He has a long nose, a really long torso, and extremely short legs.
His stubby little legs make it hard for him to sit and shake…sometimes it is difficult to tell if he is even lifting his paw!
Stuart is also the biggest scaredy-cat I’ve ever encountered. He constantly has a worried look on his face, and I have even seen him be startled by seeing his own shadow (true story). However, aren’t his little hobbit feet cute?
Even a leaf in the yard can startle him (at about the 25 second mark)…
There is one thing that little stub legged Stuart isn’t scared of. That would be: lizards. We have them in abundance outside in our yards in Florida, and he would literally spend all day outside “hunting” them if we allowed it. To date, I’ve only seen him catch one (I promptly screamed and made him drop it: the lizard was fine…don’t worry), but it’s all about the chase, right? He really cracks me up.
He’s a little stinker.
Is there a particular breed of dog that cracks you up (in a good way of course)?
Stuart is ADORABLE. His little short legs/long torso combo just makes me smile. 🙂
So cute! I love dachshunds! Also, right as I was reading the part about him scaring himself with his own shadow, my husband came in and told me that our (very timid/scared of everything) dog had just scared himself by accidently kicking a rock into the fence. Awesome timing.
Oh my word! Stuart is adorable. I love his wagging tail and his little feet look so cute when he runs!
My favorite breed is very similar to yours! I love our basset hound with his stumpy legs and his twisted out paws. He took seems worried all the time!
He is SO cute.
