Yeah Claude those hounds are still sniffing the dirt, air and other things I dare not mention, fear of being called crude... yep they are doing what hounds do. Music soothe the savage beasts? yep, it works.
We have a rogue possum that torments em constantly (a night critter)... I don't mind that those dogs howl (after all they are hounds)but at 2:00 AM, I begin to get a few thoughts of what a flat shovel could be used for beyond picking up the poo!
They do simmer down when I play accordion (could be a roots thing, who can say) but Ms. Linda is'nt going for any of my playing accordion in the wee hours, just to hush those goofy dogs... wish I had a paint ball gun for that possum (don't want to kill it, just colorize it, ha).
