My name is Otto Wilhelm von Hansel II and I was born on January 21, 2005. I'm a miniature dachshund/wiener dog. I'm very protective of my family, especially my mommy. I love sniffing around, exploring and getting into trouble. I love to be chased and sneaking licks from my mommy's wine! My favorite word is "piss" and I love to chew on dirty socks and panties.

People know me as a quality hound. I'm from the streets of Miami...it was rough. A couple of years ago I was picked up and adopted by my parents. Much love. I now have two brothers from a different mother (damn dirty cats), whose live's I make a living hell (especially the one that isn't Simon, whatever his name is he's really fat:). I still live in the MIA but off the streets. I have some mental issues and am on some pills.

Im a really really good looking hound of the bassett variety. My ears are long and soft yet firm enough to waft all those glorious rotten smells right to the schnazz, where it really counts. My coat is shiny black and brown a very chocolaty brown, and I gots me a white diamond on the back of my neck. Long walks, lots of snacky treats and a visit with my other huond friends keep me fit.
