The Mock Dock

Weimeraner (pronounced  Vy-mur-ah-nur):  Descended from the German hound, this German pointing dog appeared in paintings  as early as 1600.   Used in Germany to hunt and bring down weaker game, the Weimeraner was a useful pet and useful utility to many Germans throughout the years.

Dachshund (pronounced Docks-hooned):  Originally appearing in German texts from the early 1700s, the Dachshund became a symbol of Germany, serving as a rallying image in all German endeavors worldwide.  The German Dachshund is skilled at identifying injured or dying game, and alerting the hunter to the location of his or her prey.

 Ironic…don’t you think?

Absurdly yours,
