What happens when Schnitzel von Krumm's owners try to give him a nice, new basket to replace his smelly old one?

When his owners give him a fancy new basket, our favourite little Dachshund will not have a bit of it!

Tucked in a hideyhole
under the stair,
lay a rickety basket
in need of repair . . .

Schnitzel von Krumm is outraged when his misguided family decides to replace his worn out, beaten up, smelly old basket. He turns his nose up at the smart new one, and instead looks for another place to sleep. But no place that he tries feels quite as cosy and comforting to him. All he wants is his smelly old basket back.

It's starting to look as if Schnitzel will never sleep again - will his family ever get the message?
