So why can't I run like dogs in the K-9 unit? You see, I'm a Basset Hound. Hounds are not meant for running. Our agility is not that high. My breed tells me that I can't run long and fast since my feet are short but my body is long. Plus, I might trip with my own pair of ears!
I don't feel jealous of other dogs who can run and catch frisbees. I'm as great as I am. I can't write my essay (this one) or do research for term papers, but I can do a lot more. I make mom Shaun and her family very happy. I may not know a lot of tricks but I tell you, I'm a very very smart dog.
I love it when my family laughs whenever I run. I hate lawn sprinklers. I go berserk whenever the lawn sprinkler is turned on. I run around in circles and roll to my back. I guess that's one big entertainment and I am the star.
If only I could talk, I'd tell mom Shaun's daughter to stop dragging me around the lawn because I can't run as fast as she can. She must like the look on my face whenever I fall or roll because my feet are only a couple of inches long. I get really tired carrying myself and sometimes that's not funny.
Anyway, I'm happy that mom Shaun knows Basset Hounds although my dog mom died a couple of months after I was born.
