Thank you Wimsey!

Last week, an envelope arrived in the mail for me - from fellow bloodhound blogger Wimsey, all the way from New York! Wow, what amazing scents. New York smells a lot different than Minnesota!



Well, I was quite excited about this. You see, Wimsey very kindly had a give-away on his blog. He'd had the opportunity to review a DVD set by Cesar Millan. Wimsey had kindly offered to give-away an additional set of the DVDs.






Now, we all know that bloodhounds are not known to excel at obedience (cuteness, yes. obedience, no), but here's the thing. My brother, Beau, is a registered Therapy Dog. The group goes to nursing homes, assisted living residences...that kind of thing. Can you almost guess what kind of dogs are in the group? There are 3 labs, a golden, a poodle, a sheltie...you get the picture, right? Well, I'm thinking that the addition of a free-spirited bloodhound to the group would certainly bring a smile to many faces.

But...here's the quandary. In order to be registered, I need to pass a... *sigh*... test. Apparently, there is concern that a large hound barreling down the halls of such places just might just not be a good idea. And, as much as I hate to admit it, just like the lion in "The Wizard of OZ", I also could use some courage. Sometimes, I'm just not a real brave dog.

So there you have it! Wimsey, I thank you so much, and I hope that these DVDs will help me in my quest.

Thankfully, the videos are mostly meant for the humans, since you can see that my attention is elsewhere, while my human guardian carefully watches the instructions. Maybe she'll make me popcorn for the next one!
