A Slight Change Of Direction

I will probably end up getting back to writing what's going on, or a rant etc ... eventually. Right now I am thinking about changing the blog direction a little bit. Like a paragraph of content, then 15-25 photos. I have done that before here. Years ago I had a Wordpress blog where that is all I did. So we will see.

Cooler Temps Don't Bother Them

The past few days have shown some new developments with the hounds and dogs. Watson has finally accepted that there is another bloodhound in the house. He is now one of Cletus's best friends. I did not get a photo of it but it was official Saturday morning when Watson had his front paw on the side of Cletus's head when he was laying down, while licking and cleaning Cletus's face. They are also playing more outside one on one.

Strangest Thing Happened

This gives you a good idea what it looks like when the hounds and dogs want to come inside. They don't bark. Henry or Watson might scratch on the door window, otherwise they will sit quietly until I show up. In this case they saw me walking to the door and they came running from different directions. Is there a dog missing?

Not Much Went On Today

I cannot get over how well Cletus is settling in here. He came housebroken and I had a test for him today. I needed groceries plus a run to The Donut Bank to buy some celebration pastry to eat. I was gone for almost an hour, where I left him and all the adult hounds, and dog in the house with access to the backyard. When Ava saw me getting ready to leave, she grabbed her Nylabone and went into her crate without any command.

Ava & Cletus Start Early

This is my second or third time I have tried to post a video on the blog. Not sure if it will work or not. Ava and Cletus started playing early this morning. I heard her playing at 6:44am so I grabbed my iPhone while needing my second coup of coffee. I see the video didn't work when I looked at "preview". So this is a photo right before I started a video.

Cletus Continues To Do Great

Lots of photos tonight ...

It's been 72 hours and he acts like he has lived here since he was 8 weeks old. Of course he loves his walks. I am still making adjustments to the harness to get it to fit perfect. He doesn't mind when a car or truck passes by us as I lead him off the street and sit on the edge of a yard until they pass by. I still have to figure out something on these walks though. Dogs and hounds left behind bark when they see us leave and walk away just like all the neighbors dogs do when they see me walk by their house. 

Cletus Loves His New Bed

This is my 2nd post on Sunday morning. South Central Bloodhound Rescue put his adoption announcement on their Facebook page yesterday. Down below his announcement was another where two bloodhounds that lived together before being an "owner turn in" were adopted together. So it was a good day Friday for the rescue service. Rick was telling me that he was headed to St Louis on Monday to pick up two litters of Bloodhounds, different owners and a third location to pick up another owner turn in of an adult bloodhound. He will train that one just like he did Cletus at house which sits on 20 acres of woods/trails.
