The Pied Piper of Goatdom
When you hike in Switzerland, there's never a shortage of excitement. Here I am, literally getting carried away as Mom and I cross paths with a herd of goats.
Have you heard of goats? Those cute creatures whose full name is Capra aegagrus hircus?
We often see a whole bunch of goats on Swiss trails, or even on mountain roads.
This particular bunch started following us, probably because they thought that I was a herding dog.
Dachshund Daddy helped the goats refocus by reading them the original story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Or do you think I might be the pied piper of Goatdom?

Black and Tan and White
Here's your favorite bicontinental sausage thinking about the Universe. She's also a creative sausage who just came up with her very first bilingual dachshund Christmas card.

Mileage and Vertical Feet
The fall is a great time to hike: gorgeous colors, stable weather, no crowds. Sure, days have gotten short, but with an early start we still have enough time to get things done. Today, rather than describing a new adventure, I would like to answer the questions from yesterday's post.
My special friend Christa, taking dictation from Bruno, asked us how many miles we walked to ascend to 8000 feet on our Mannlibode loop hike from last Sunday.
The uphill stretch from the valley floor (4300 ft) to the top (8000 ft) was about three miles, and the whole hike was approximately nine miles. (Mom felt it. I didn't.)
My godson Bouncing Bertie also asked me a good question on behalf of his mom Gail, who would like to know if dachshunds suffer altitude sickness.
I don't know about dachshunds in general, but this particular bold and savvy sausage (me!) doesn't seem to feel the elevation at all. (Mom does.)
I just keep on wagging! :)
