<DIV>Or how to freak out a crowd of onlookers.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the checks, ears, blowing raspberries on the bellies - all the hounds
have different favorite kiss spots, and of course we all comply as
directed.</DIV>
<DIV>My favorite hound kiss is of course in a crowd setting.</DIV>
<DIV>Enter new hound and owner looking for a companion to adopt.</DIV>
<DIV>Human says - Gee, my hound refuses to give kisses. As if that would
be the end of the line.</DIV>
<DIV>I get down, and talk to the hound in question, who usually ignores me or
trots away. During their stay I work that hound and work that hound and
finally.... just as the hound is getting ready to get away with not being kissed
- WHAMO</DIV>
<DIV>I lick their face.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If a hound won't GIVE kisses, they sure as heck GET them around here.</DIV>
<DIV>(And its really great fun to hear the Ewwwwwwww cry from the crowd as
well. Listerine is great for things other than hotspots and ear
infections... us humans can gargle it too ya know <g>)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Currently the favorite kiss of the day is the shy snooter kiss from Mr.
Golden Amos of Daphneyland -16 years of age and snobby with his kisses.
His first encounter with Aunti Dawni's kiss was a full on lick while he was
muzzled for a bath, ear cleaning and NAIL TRIM.... and then he decided he
had better kiss me or I'd lick him. ROFL. A gentle snooter
kiss from Amos - now that's an achievement.</DIV>

<DIV>Hound kisser of Daphneyland</DIV>
<DIV>(Word to the wise - this technique is best attempted in the morning
BEFORE poop eating may begin....)</DIV>
