Wiener Walk

I bend down to pet the dachshund
because dog

The owner nods her approval

Aww, what a sweetie

my standard sincere statement
about any canine
who doesn't bare its' fangs
and sever tendons in my wrist

He just went for a wiener walk!
the 40-ish blonde woman tells me

Yes,
blonde 40 confirms
He had fun
but it doesn't take long for him to get tired

I give the dog one last pet goodbye
and leave wondering
