[Dailydrool] Daisy & the Fly

[Esther Strom]

When Waldo was younger and could still see, he used to be the ninja fly catcher. He would sit very still, moving nothing but his eyes, for however long it took for the fly to come near him - once he waited 15 minutes! And then suddenly, the jaws snap closed - bye, bye, fly. It always reminded me of the scene with Mr. Miyagi and the chopsticks in The Karate Kid...

I loved the video! But in our house, flies either get eaten or become lifelong friends. Jane and Abner pay no attention, but Belvedere is fascinated by them. He tries to catch them, when they are outdoors, but once they come in they seem to be friends. He has never, to my recollection, deflied this home.

Recently we've had a HUGE fly roaming the house. Bel keeps watching it carefully. Today he was staring off into space in our laundry room, and I think it must have been that he was trying to find the fly or had seen it and lost it (he often can't figure out where flies are, even if they are right near him).

Bassets and flies are so funny!
