It's certainly virgin on the ridiculous....

Perhaps your dog just resembles a sweet potato.

Good point, Phage

But on the other hand, it may be this...

You cut pieces off other potatoes to put legs on this one?

Why?

I'm sure we can come up with a recipe, using a sweet potato and a weenie dog.

I'm just glad there's a reason this thread title was making me hungry....That's such a relief!

Well if he's a sweet potato, then he probably eats Iams.:D

just a little language-lesson :
Dachshund is a German word and means badgerdog. Dachs = badger, Hund = dog
in German we call them Dackel

makes no sense but that is the way it is :rolleyes:

Such interest in a dachshund-shaped potato.

Actually, I did have to cheat a bit. The 'front' legs are natural nubs, but there were no 'back' legs until I substituted the tips from 2 other sweet potatoes. It hardly seemed fair to leave the poor thing with only two legs, and stubby ones at that.

That is a good point, so I guess I'll go back and have a closer look. Truth is, Brinks is already 9 years old, so if he makes it to 15 or so, he'll probably become a vegetable. Of some sort.

So technically, those other sweet poatoes were donors, right?
Oh no wait - that's kebabs :)

Well, who wants a paraplegic sweet tater?

Well, when the chips are down, it's apeeling to have someone rooting for you and keeping an eye on you.
