A Rare Sighting of an Endangered Species.

There is a little-known animal skulking the La Mesa area.  Not too many people have ever seen it, because it rarely goes outside.  Here's a rather grainy photo of a recent sighting...

and a slightly closer view as we sneak up on the elusive animal....

Because it's difficult to make the above photos, we were lucky enough to get a slightly closer view:

These photos are, in fact, some of the few known substantiated photos of the Domestic Interior-Dwelling Weiner, which is also known as the "asblik plukker" (Afrikaans) or the "selector de basura" (Spanish). Here in the US, the slang name for this dog is a "parlor pooper," due mostly to the difficulty in housebreaking these dogs and the common occurrence of finding, well, poop in in the parlor.

These dogs are thought to be descendants of the Dachshund, but are probably not closely related as this particular dog abhors cold or inclement weather and remains indoors for long periods of time. (which may explain the poop in the parlor)

We do believe that one of the founding sires of this breed was a dog by the name of "Gaw-Da-Mitt," because so many of these dogs have that as a first name.  (as in "Gaw-Da-Mitt Ozzie," our own Domestic Interior-Dwelling Weiner)

Below are some photos of the DID Weiner in its natural habitat:

As depicted below, these dogs are quite often ambidextrous...

and spend much of their time in a horizontal position....

These animals are also amazing singers.....

While these dogs are known to be docile, gentle animals...

...one should never forget that these Weiners are predators...

...and once they sight their prey...

...they attack viciously...

...using both teeth and paws...

...they are known to recruit help...

...and they blindly attack...

...over and over...

...snapping, snarling...

until nothing is left but the tattered remains

of the kitchen trash bag...

and there is little question as to why this is an endangered species...
