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 help Gretchen run the farm. 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.

"Twins" Gretchen and Flash


 

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!

Every dog should have a man of his own.  There is nothing like a well-behaved person around the house to spread the dog's blanket for him, or bring him his supper when he comes home man-tired at night.
