Terrill the Brave


My miniature dachshund Terrill knows no fear. I however, can not say the same about myself. Last night on our before bed walk, Terrill fearlessly cornered one BIG possum! It was twice his size and definitely not in the mood to "play possum." If it hadn't been for the retractable leash, I'm not sure what I would have done! I think that possums are quite possibly the ugliest creatures on earth and they have the ability to scare the bejeesus out of me! Thank goodnes my 8 pound dog was there to protect me.
(The pic is Terrill at 3 months - adorable, right?)

Hahaha I would be the EXACT same way. Theo - my younger and smaller one - just bounds through life completely oblivious to all the danger around him. This includes leaping off beds and couches forcing me to catch him, and telling off Saint Bernards are doggy day care.

I'm frazzled ALL THE TIME.
