A couple of weeks ago, Edie and Amanda dropped the Alaskan SoundHoundz pack at Chelsea's Pet Resort for a week of non-stop barking excitement. I had my humans record the arrival as we bumped down the dirt road. Everyone within a five mile radius knew with certainty that the "houndz" had arrived!
Note my deep voice, which provides rich undertones to Dimond Willow's excited "seal bark." Molly chose to announce her arrival with her version of "chirping and talking." These barks are quite different from our baying serenades saved for different occasions.
Now here is a video of me and Dimond in the resort parking lot. I particularly enjoy this segment, as I was able to deposit a little saliva on the crate, which happened to survive the entire week hanging in magnificent dried form on the wire. To my chagrin, the crate in this shot is a bit crowded with two hounds, and you will notice that my normally destructive tail wagging is somewhat curtailed in these confines.
This resort is not nearly as well- appointed as Bentley and Beau's swimming resort, but it is an adequate place to engage in hound socializing and vocalizing for many days.
Edie picked us up on the 4th of July, and we were so very happy to see her. Upon arrival at home we promptly plopped down on the floor and slept soundly for many hours. Can't wait for the next vacation!
Until next time,
Gus

Wow, that is indeed a fine hound chorus. Beau is a fine friend, but he will never have that houndly ability to bay along with me. You three make a great trio.
Gus, I did notice that you do like to sprawl like Beau - head on the cool tile and body on the carpet. Beau sleeps like that a lot. I haven't quite figured out the charm of that yet...it's the couch for me!

(PS from the human: The sounds of the video really got the attention of both canines here. Pretty funny!)
What an impressive chorus! Love the different hound voices. I'm so impressed! Gus, your tail is surely a weapon...
Music to our ears!
Wrooo wroooo!
