Busting the stereotype....

Sure... I know what you're thinking. Bloodhounds are lazy, unmotivated, and wrinkly.

Ok... they are wrinkly. I'll concede that point. But they are a lot more active a breed than most people imagine. Especially when the only exposure they've had to them are clips from the Beverly Hillbillies.

Gunny's favorite toy at the moment is a stuffed 'possum, with a squeaker inside.

"But Paladin... you could have just posed his head by the stuffed animal while he was sleeping".

I'm ready for you, Doubting Thomas. I have video proof:




Of course, after a bout of possum killing you deserve a rest. True to form, Bloodhounds approach nap time with the same diligence they bring to all their duties.

And yes... he does snore up a storm when he sleeps on his back.

What a cutie. That young man has no idea he hit the owner jackpot. Congratulations on a fine dog. Angus and I are looking forward to seeing more of him.

I like this dog. I wouldn't do anything in that kind of heat neither. I mean it. I would have to be in a hazmat suit full of ice cubes to go to Texas. Hellish heat is one of the reasons why I am glad I don't have easy access to a gun.
