Unintended Side Effect of AD's

[Davidy1026]

I thought this was hilarious once I realized what had happened, so I thought I would share.

First, a little background information. I'm in my third and final year of law school, so I am always trying to do things on the cheap; to this end I got my first new (as opposed to new-to-me) brush off the 'bay from a very nice vendor. I spent a bit more than planned, but hell I'm about to graduate law school in the top 15 of my class and I figure I've earned it. Also, I have a long haired Dachshund who was a rescue dog that, after a weekend of dog sitting while a friend went to a wedding, I couldn't let go.

For those of you who may not have known, Dachshund literally means badger dog in German; so guess what they were bred to hunt.

So my story is that today I received my brush in the mail, I rinsed it, and set it out to dry with the rest of my gear; the standard "new toy" handling. Molly (the dog) was sitting with me on my couch while I was reading some material for tomorrow's classes. She got up and wandered around my apartment a bit, but stopped right outside my bathroom and I could hear her growling, then bark. Not knowing what the heck is going on I got up and when I got to my bathroom she was pointing, fixed on my bathroom counter.

Since it is a new brush, she could still smell the badger, and genetics kicked in it would seem.

Anyhow, I got a good laugh out of that and figured the rest of you might as well.

Hilarious story, I must see the dog in question! (I wouldn't say no to a little brush porn either...)

Thank goodness it ended well, I was reading it with fingers across my eyes incase the punch line was a nicely shredded brush. My dog loves to chew brushes thankfully he only has access to dust pan brushes!

I'll remember to keep my new badgers away from my parents Weiner Dogs when I visit. They have one old one that is pretty well behaved. (She calm, und submeeeseeeev.) But the younger one is just plain bad.

My mother has DPAD. Dachsund and Pug acquisition disorder.

She trolls D & P rescues sites looking for wire hair Dach's (the young one she got ~a year ago) and black pugs.

as others have said though, you had better lock that brush up!

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Great story. Good thing the dog couldn't get at the brush.

Congrats on almost being done with law school. As a retired police officer, go into the DA's office, its more fun to put them away than to get them off.

First, the brush:

And here's Molly:

I'm actually going to work for a firm in their litigation department, so I'll be doing private defense work, as well as federal and state civil suits.

But, one of my friends works in the Prosecutor's office and he got an iPhone with a new phone number yesterday. The first text he got was a from a random number offering to sell him drugs, specifically ""KB on deck 20 a G.", so he phoned the prosecutor who handles the drug charges and is setting up a sting.

Law school is never boring.

Too funny! You're lucky you didn't find your new brush shredded to bits.

Nah, she can't jump that high with her short legs. She's just lucky she can get up on the couch lol.

Molly is really cute. I wonder if Molly can tell the difference between a badger and a boar. Since she is attracted to your badger brush. I think that you could get her a part time job. There are frequent posts here by folks asking to ID their brush, sometimes it is a question of is it a badger knot or boar? So in comes Molly!!! She's hired!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Great story and cute dog. Protect that brush.

I love those dachshunds... Molly is a cutie for sure... That is a handsome brush as well. Thanks for the chuckle as I read your story although it really made me miss my little dapple dachshund Franny who became the spoils of a divorce 3 years ago. She still delights my daughters and hopefully terrorizes my ex.
