Gary Larson here plays on the notion that dachshunds are hyperactive and nervous. The caption, for those who have difficulty making it out, says ‘While their owners sleep, nervous little dogs prepare for their day.’
Of course this is all jest. If I could make the morning coffee whilst my owners sleep they’d have me running a cafe! The reality is that it’s the humans (’owners’) who dash out of their warm beds to service the needs of their little dachshunds.
Slumber is broken to let us out to frolic in the morning light on the terrace, linger with the frosted winter roses and ice-tinged rosemary branches, and then to serve us breakfast! That’s how it really is - and that’s how it should remain!
Awoof! Archie

[…] Superwoof to Gary Larson, who must at least have known (and therefore have loved) a dachshund or two! Archie […]
