I thought the most pointless Google doodle ever was when they celebrated the anniversary of the paper hole puncher, but I think this is a new height in pointlessness. ---

There is _NOTHING_ pointless about Dachshunds. Except maybe their tails. And their noses are kinda pointy. ---

My only disappointment with that doodle is that when I clicked on it all the picture did was enlarge. I wanted to buy the bobblehead. I did just get something today that made me smile, and have tears a little too. My BIL gave me a face mask that my sister, who died on Saturday, must have got for me as a Christmas stocking stuffer. It has dacshunds all over it. ---

If you look at the background scrolling by, it appears to go on for several minutes without repeating. I was wondering if it went on long enough, they’d pull off for a bathroom break. ---

I, for one, enjoyed today’s Google Doodle. Not only does the background seemingly go on forever, if you move your mouse over the Dachshund s/he smiles, tongue and tail wagging, with hearts flying in the background. Move the mouse away and the smile stops. The longer you keep the mouse away, the sadder s/he looks. After a couple of minutes s/he is downright depressed, but move the mouse back and s/he returns to all smiles and hearts. Kinda cute. No, I don’t own a dachshund, and yes, I’m easily amused.
