A Brindled Wiener Dog

[ellenkushner]

Everyone walks their dogs on Riverside Drive, as it is across from the park. Today on our way to the gym we saw a woman walking a dachsund with markings I'd never seen before. "Look!" I said (softly); "a wiener dog with spots!" Delia loftily informed me that it was a brindled wiener dog.

I dare you to say that out loud. If you're having a bad day - or even if you're not - I can pretty much guarantee that saying "a brindled wiener dog" will make you laugh. If that doesn't work, let me know.

spelling corrected as requested

I must implore you to follow Germanic spelling rules and set it down as "wiener dog." My maiden name was Weiner (pronounced with a long I) and I grew thoroughly sick of the Oscar Meyer song before I was out of elementary school.

you say "wiener," I say "weiner"

Oh, gosh, you're right! That's what I get for trying to post and pack at the same time. Will correct spelling above, prontopups!
