Two Kurts

Kurt one, Kurt two

I was over at mom and dad’s tonight, and there was an old black and white photo on the kitchen table. It was of my dad’s parent’s dachshund, Kurtie. Mom and dad’s current pup is also named Kurtie, in honor of Kurt the First. I had dad hold them up for me so that I could catch them together. On the back of the photo grandma had written, “Our dog Kurt of 12 years. Old age took him.” I hope Kurt the second is with us for a good, long time.

(Note: I have said for several years that I wanted to get a dachshund and name it Kurtie. Apparently, this was a genius idea to the point that my parents stole it!!!)

Weiner Dogs!

Better today? Hope so. I went on a benefit walk to fight congenital blindness this morning, and some folks brought out their pups. There were several dachshunds out and about, and these two were getting to know each other. The black short hair was pretty keen on making friends, and the long hair just sort of stood there and feigned mild interest. I think the long hair was a bit older and putting up with the curious young’un.

Anyway, better than yesterday’s random cop cars? Yep.
