I'm Flash -- Gretchen's twin and the resident stud muffin here at Willey
Standardbred Farm. Gretchen may be the alpha dog, but she couldn't run the
place without me!
I'm a smooth black and tan standard dachsie; like Gretchen, I
was born on Easter day, 1988. I came to live with Mom and Dad hen I was about 1
year old when my Other Mom couldn't keep me anymore. |

I'm the strong silent type--I rarely speak up unless there's something
to say. Being a dachsie, I'm also a bit of a manipulator--I can talk Mom
into a biscuit at about anytime by giving her "the dachsie look" and a
perfect sit up. Sometimes I even "do paws" (see photo). I'm a very
talented guy. |

I spend a lot of my time monitoring Daphne. I'm still not sure
whether a dog with such long legs is trustworthy. Mom says I have a "Napoleon"
complex and to get over it. Daphne and I do play tug-of-war competition over our
blanket when we have visitors. Now that's entertainment! I'm a
snuggler and a lover too. I would like to chase Gretchen's kitties, but they
just ignore me. I guess they don't realize what a tuff guy I am! |
