Death by Doxie : The Nose Hang

One of the joys of being a dachshund owner is witnessing the natural phenomenon known as the doxie nose hang (and when I say 'known as' I mean I call it that). They have rather a long nose (it matches their long body) and sometimes they use their nose as a prop for their head - hanging it over the edge of a cushion, squishing their nostrils on the ground, and promptly falling asleep. It always looks a little uncomfortable to me, but the hounds seem to like it (Ferdi is a practitioner of the floating nose hang, off the couch into free air).
