The Dachshund Philosophy

How does a Dachshund view the world?

Much like a toddler.
If I like it, it's mine.
If I think I might like it, it's mine.
If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
If it was ever in my mouth, it's mine.
If I can take it from you, it's mine.
If you can take it from me, it's still mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
If I'm chewing something, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it's mine.
If I saw it first, it's mine.
If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
Everything I've ever laid eyes or teeth upon is mine...including you!
