Dasein
von Schusnig
hound and trilingual; try me. I can answer "woof, woof"; "oua, oua"; or "jua, jua." I am
extroverted and love people, and don't waste my time with unfriendly folk. I'll eat just
about anything except dog food, and love sweets. I once ate nearly an entire box of
chocolates and had to be rushed the emergency room to have my stomach pumped. My
name is a Heideggerean term, meaning "to be." And indeed, I am.
My mother was a sweet basset by the name of Miss Maggie. I never knew
my father,
supposedly a champion basset stud by the rather pretentious name of
Buddy of Lee.
Since I would never suspect my mother of misbehaving, I am convinced
that my hidden
status is due to a distant negative gene. Incidentally, my master tells
everyone that I am an
Austrian Basseagle, a rare breed. It puzzles some of the canine experts.
