    Her ears DO get in there, don't they? In cartoons, you could tie them in a bow on top of her head.

    And that is why WE keep baby wipes by the back door for Buck when he's done eating! Hahaha. Welcome to my world of ear cleaning inside and out, Caty! Hahahaha

    DSCF1027.jpgYou better watch it hounds get into your blood. I don't think I will ever not have one in my life, except when I get real old.

    I just had to get my old girl in. I was going to put one where she was enjoying a raw treat but I can't fine it. I'm like xellil they look up at you and you just feel so good to be able to give them a better life. I can't believe how happy Maddie is now, sometimes after she eats she will go out into the living room and jump and roll around then bark. I really think it's just joy at life now.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that a deep, narrow dish is best for dogs with ears like that.

    I have already decided that I will never be without a bluetick! Hounds definitely do have a way of burrowing their way into who you are.

    I WISH Buck would eat out of a bowl! If you hand him his food in a bowl he pulls it straight out and plops it onto the concrete. Better for for getting your face half an inch from the ground when you need to gnaw on something with your back teeth!

    Yep all my water dishes are the smaller narrow type. And you have to change them allot as they tend to slop up the water and make it gross for the others. One reason I'm not sure the fountains would work. they sound great but......oh the slobber.

    haha I know that even though I don't have a hound. Gunner leaves puddles all over the place when he is done with the water.

    She loves it now. She is still being fed the kibble until we officially adopt her (we have to have a week at least trial period- ends this Sunday)- but she's been having some raw snacks!
