I AM NOT FAT!  There's been some scuttlebut on the Pics page about how I look somewhat thick in my racing uniform.  Look, I don't go around to other people's sites and comment on the extraordinary length of someone's torso or that fact that someone's roots don't match her hair, so leave me alone!  I may be a dog, but I have feelings.  And for the goddamn record, I weigh 20 pounds, but I'm also two-and-a-half feet long, which you can't see in that picture because I'm sitting.  Besides the weight range for standard dachshunds is between 15-30 lbs. so it appears I'm on the light side of that.  Lastly, for those who think I look plump: I challenge you to a 50 yard foot race and we'll see what's what.

Happy Valentines Day

Love,

Marshall

p.s. Thanks, now I feel guilty about eating those chocolates that were left on the coffee table.
