Dear Molly,
I have a terribly
embarrassing problem. When I sniff the ground, my ears hang so low that I frequently
step on them. I can handle the pain, but
I fear that the poodle next door is laughing at me.
Please help,
Norbert the
Bloodhound
Dear Norbert,
Do your ears hang
low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in
a bow?
You could pull
your ears back into a pony tail, but that would probably be even more
embarrassing.
You have an
important and potentially dangerous job patrolling the neighborhood. SQRLs and
gophers are everywhere.
Hold your head
high and be proud. You are upholding the noble reputation of the bloodhound. A
pinched ear is the price that heroes such as us sometimes have to pay.
With a proud
salute,
Molly
