I will continue to do my best to set such high houndly standards. And by the way, much to my chagrin, the humans left some important items off the list. These include a dog mushing trophy of Amanda's that I partially consumed as well as the arm of the couch that I ingested while INSIDE my wire crate. That one made me smile. How does a hound accomplish all this while supervised? I am a very crafty fellow. I have two distinct strategies:<br />1) lie in wait, seemingly sound asleep and snoring. Humans will occasionally try to tiptoe off to the bathroom or bedroom and WHAM! in a flash, I have the desired item in my jaws.<br />2) I keep my nose firmly wedged into the area where desired item lies. Human moves a millimeter, and WHAM! it's mine!<br />I can chew and swallow anything in 3.2 seconds, which is decidedly faster than a human can sprint across a room, leaping over the other hounds in an attempt to tackle me and pry the item from my teeth. I am known as the "Brown Sticky Shark" in my household. Amanda, a high school Track and Field sprinter, is my only competition, and I find her attempts to catch me highly amusing!<br /><br />At any rate, I know exactly how your stick ended up in such pristine condition. Should your humans need enlightenment, they can contact Edie, as she refuses to cite the reason here.<br /><br />The Hound beer by Paul sounds like a dream come true. I believe it should be launched in the far north as well as the east coast, although my humans would prefer the beer not be mixed with hound spit. They have something against that...not sure why.<br /><br />I cannot sign off without a comment about the acupuncture needles. You look rather like a hedgehog gone terribly wrong! What happens if you decide to shake? Your poor humans! I can only imagine the panic.<br /><br />Gus of the North,<br />The Alaskan Brown Sticky SharkEdie and Gushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899288964144262542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257632014578413949.post-74200770578824338702010-05-15T18:46:09.080-04:002010-05-15T18:46:09.080-04:00Gus is indeed impressive.

Of course the never being alone thing might present a challenge to a lesser Hound, but when you think about it, that's when the humans are most likely to let their guard down. Also those humans have to sleep sometime.<br /><br />wags, LolaLola and also Franklin, toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972548673590973882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257632014578413949.post-4549107283691580792010-05-15T17:44:26.154-04:002010-05-15T17:44:26.154-04:00Wow, doggie acupuncture.

Unless, of course, you are enjoying the harness for better leverage in towing your humans.<br /><br />BentleyBentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716466656791580907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257632014578413949.post-75635466175495747712010-05-14T21:34:45.599-04:002010-05-14T21:34:45.599-04:00We must give it up for Gus.
