[Dailydrool] Millie

[via Dailydrool]

The other day I was walking Millie, and we came across a really stupid  
squirrel.  As we approached, it just sat there and looked at us.  As  we got 
closer, it took off and ran right in front of us and Millie missed  getting it 
by about 2 inches.  Unlike Ben, she chases the critters, but as  she is on 
a leash, she cannot not bet them, but she almost got this one.  
 
This weekend Millie and I went to a Halloween party at a Basset Hound Club  
at a breeder's home.  Between the breeder's dogs and other attendees' dogs, 
 there were probably over 20 hounds in the little house along with about 
the same  number of people. She was nervous, but did well with all the dogs, 
until  the breeder let out of the cages several younger hounds.  As Millie 
was the  only one near them, they massed around her to greet her.  That she 
did not  like to well and let them know it with growls.  I was about to 
admonish  her, when the breeder came over told me not to as she was just letting 
them know  she did not appreciate their actions.  She did it a second time 
and they  backed off.  It was a learning experience for her as well as the  
youngsters.  The rest of the afternoon then went fine.  She did not do  a lot 
of mixing and preferred to stay with me, but she needs the socialization  
experiences, too.
