I swear...I don't know how he does it, but he got another one this afternoon. I guess he's figured it out...he waits until the distance is shorter between him and the squirrel, and the closest tree. He stalks those fuckers. They don't see him coming. Even after some major spinal cord surgery, he is relentless. It is unusual for dogs, any lone dog for that matter, to catch a squirrel. What is more amazing is how he dispatches it once he gets it. It must be in his genes. He snaps the back right from the get-go.

I've seen a million dogs chase squirrels and come up empty-handed, but my dog Stretch is a thinker...he has got it figured out. Never believe a dachshund is a small foo foo dog...they might be the smallest of hounds, but they are tenacious.

I've got to get a film of him in action...you would not believe it.

I need to change my name to Marlin Perkins.
