[Shelbie]

I never knew so many arty types had dachsie, thanks, that's my dinner party conversation taken care of for weeks!! I must say a chill went down my spine at the thought of Leonardo asking his dachsies opinion....what if it had been like my Shelbie?! No, Dad don't do any more paintin' today, let's go for a walk, or you could feed me, oh sorry were you using that paintbrush? Sorry about the pawprints on the one of the lady - still, she was looking a bit miserable, well, yes it might have been cos I was tuggin' at her dress a little bit.....<IMG SRC="http://dachsie.org/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm36.gif" border=0>

There was a great Gary Larson cartoon years ago that showed Leonardo painting, with his dog sitting looking crossly at him. The dog has a balloon over his head saying "One of the 'great masters' indeed! Where's my dinner?"
