Its all in the title....

So you ask yourself how did I come up with "Hounds and Heels"...? Well, it is kind of a funny story. My boyfriend and I were going to have some "family" pictures of ourselves with our furry family. So our photographer Amy, who is not only my boss' wife but also a friend, asked me which of the furry friends were coming.. You see, I have two house dogs (Charlie and Stewart) while Andre has 7 walker/treeing hound mixes that are outdoors in a kennel, more like a doggie suite for hounds. So my boss and his wife were thinking that it would be a very cute/appropriate picture to have me standing in a formal gown with some heels on, holding on to seven dog leashes of some very nice, but a little crazy mannered hounds. Of course I'm picturing this in a red long elegant dress with some spike heals on..and then I see myself being drug across the muddy field as the hounds spot a bear and do what they do best... Needlesstosay, I got a good laugh out of it and maybe someday will let Amy come back and fulfill the thought, or at least part of it..So from that, came Hounds and Heels. Given that I grew up in the city, have moved to small town and met the man of my dreams who is a die hard bear hunter who's travelled the country with his dogs, and have my own furry children I thought the name was very appropriate. I hope to share with you some of my daily laughs as a veterinarian perhaps some advice with your furry friends or if your a houndsman/woman then we may share some stories..
