We had a dachshund when I was a kid. He was named Peanuts. He was our "wiener dog" because he was shaped like a hot dog. I liked playing with him in our backyard kiddie pool, and he taught me how to dog paddle. I loved Peanuts, but I couldn't say dachshund, so, yes, he was our wiener dog. I'm glad this lady knows how to pronounce dachshund.

Neither one of them is carrying a pooper scooper and plastic bag. I guess they just leave it for Mr. Allora. Or for Wilbur to step in.

"Saul The Stud Still Has The Ol' Secret Ingredient".
Nice day?
Yes...
Admiring dachshund!
Thank you! Weren't we?
Woof!
This lady is not only homely, but a giantess as well. I can't wait for her to pick up Saul to give him a smooch.
Looks like love is in the air for Greta and the Golden Retriever as well.
After reading today’s strip, my snark supply was running low. Wanders et all., thanks for boosting it! Great observations by all of you, and a bang-up BFH title by Nance, hahahahaha.
Regina Wolfe-Parks, “giantess” is right on the mark. In the musical version of this story, I suggest casting Harvey Fierstein as Buxom Blondie.
P.S. If you missed @meg’s terrific post on Saturday afternoon (it’s near the bottom of the Friday installment), seek it out. Huzzah, @meg!
OMG! I think this could be Jared's mother. If she invites Saul over for nude yoga, we'll know for sure.
We also had dachshunds when I was a kid, but we either called them dachshunds or doxies. Mom and Dad were sticklers for correctness. They also insisted that the dog have a German name, so we had Hansel, Gretel and Frieda. I think Greta would have had Mom's approval. We knew someone who had one named Fifi, and you should have heard the commentary on that!
Has Saul remained seated because:
1. He's forgotten his manners?
2. He's embarassed that he's at least a foot shorter than Golda?
3. He's nervous about that dog's snout being a little too close to...
ah... let's just say, a little too close for comfort?

Ah, the flirtatious repartee! Next they'll be complimenting each other's dog-and-owner-look alike costumes. "Where DID you get that charming set of scarves?" "Not as charming as your polka-dotted ties! Speaking of polkas, perhaps you'd like to accompany me to the socially distanced set that's being organized in the club house right now! I notice that Charterstone has a doggie daycare that provides recreational and intellectual opportunities for our pets while we polka our cares away."
Love the "Gram of Wrath", meg! Further proof that it pays to always stay caught up with what's happening in the Worthiverse.
My family had a dog growing up who looked like a dachshund/Labrador mix. He was dark brown had a nice, handsome Labrador face, short little legs, and a long body. He was certainly unique. His mother was a beagle/Labrador mix and his father was a black lab mix.
KitKat, LouiseF, thanks. A little undeserved praise is always welcome.
Well, Wanders, at least you didn't call your Peanuts dog a "dash_hound".... I don't know whom or when .. but sometime when I was a little kid, I can remember friends of my parents who had a dachshund, calling him/her a dash hound.
Oh Wanders, I know it show my age but — nobody calls them “dachshunds” anymore. The name got changed to “Nissan” years and years ago.
