About me
I am a real dog. REALLY
No, I am not some fictional character, drawn by some human or worse, some generative artificial intelligence (AI). This sketch is a representation of my true nature and is based on, what I am told, is one of my best profile photographs. The original image can be accessed on my instagram profile post. I would have also proved the content authenticity of the photograph had that setting not been accidentally disabled on the camera when the photograph was taken.
My name is Bhombol! I am a miniature dachshund.
I have four, rather short, legs and one nose. I am usually sniffing, digging, napping, and barking!
A day in my life
There are many things I do in a day, but the following is a typical day in my life.
- Wake up around before 6AM, stretch and yawn. Go outside for a stroll with my humans.
- Sniff around different things along the way. City life is less interesting than the countryside, where I go from time to time.
- Growl or bark at other dogs, unknown people, and other creatures if they are not friendly or if they come too close to me.
- Go home, have breakfast, and then take a nap for a while. If it is sunny, I prefer napping under the sunlight that comes through the window.
- Wake up again and expect some snacks when the humans are having their meals. Go back to a more peaceful afternoon nap.
- Wake up again and go outside for another stroll with my humans.
- Get back home, play with my humans. Roam around while dinner is being prepared, and then have dinner.
- Go back to rest for a while, and then wake up again to play with the humans.
- Finally, go to sleep for the night, but I usually wake up a few times during the night to check if everything is fine and to make sure that the humans are still there and breathing.
(I omitted some of the details, but you get the idea.) Here is a short video of me, taken by one of my human friends, showing me doing some of the things I do on a typical autumn day.
The Dr. part of my name on the main page
I am self-taught! Neither do I have a PhD degree, nor a medical degree although I am very convinced that I should be awarded a PhD degree honoris causa for my exceptional sniffing, burrowing, and barking achievements.
