<DIV>Reminds me of my first Basset Lucy Girl, several years back
Maumee hosted a helium balloon race , a three day event so every day
the balloons would all take off about 8:00 AM and fly right over our
house, we would set up lawn chairs and coffee and go out and watch the
balloon, they were so low you could talk to them. pretty cool about 40
balloons, well being the dumb slaves that we were we took the girls
outside with us, our miniature dachshund loved it but Lucy girl freaked
out big time, especially when they turned on the flames to gain
height, Lucy actually ran right thru our screen door and back into the
house. did I say through ?????? no one opened the door she just went
through the screen and into the living room and behind the couch. another
time we were out walking, hubby had Lucy and I had the Doxie and we were
across the street walking around the hospital and Lucy spotted a hot air balloon
in the air over the expressway and she drug my husband home on a dead run,
she was hugging the side of the buildings figuring she was safer that way
and my husband who DOES NOT run well was being dragged . and I apologize,
but I have a sick sense of humor and I couldn't stop laughing. this dog,
put her head down and was on a full throttle run heading for home, do not pass
go and dont stop !!!!! so after we all got home safely, Fergie
and I walk around the corner and I said " WOW how much
fun was that ? " My poor husband had skinned up knees, skin torn off his
elbows from scraping the walls on the buildings, and sweat running down his
face bwahahahahahha !!!!! I told him "we
should do this more often " </DIV>
