Kumquat the Squat

Kumquat is Sneaky Squirrel's best friend.  Like Squirrel, Kumquat is also a rescue dog, but unlike Sneaky Squirrel he will most likely be moving on to a permanent home soon.  He is outgoing and friendly to everyone, something that Squirrel is not.

Kumquat is a shorty, a low-rider with some of the shortest legs I've ever seen.  Probably a Dachsund and ? mix, he's incredibly cute, even if he has trouble keeping his short little legs in his harness.

When I take Sneaky Squirrel for a walk, so does Kumquat.  He grabs Squirrel's leash with his mouth, wherever he can grab hold of it, and goes motoring along on his little stubs.  He's every bit as bold as his little friend is timid.

My little shorty backs down to no one, man or dog, no matter the size.  He makes Sneaky Squirrel feel very safe.  Kumquat's head is kind of big for his body and it sort of rolls from side to side.  Sneaky Squirrel's head is tiny and it bobs up and down.

Everyone should have a friend like Kumquat the Squat.
