Blind Emma Observation!!!
August 25th, 2008 - 7:07 pm KY Time
Howllo Fellow Hound and Blind Basset Lovers: I had the most fascinating observation last night regarding Emma. I was walking behind her towards the kitchen and a chair was out of place. As she approached the chair, that she did not know was there, she swung her ears and the one closest to the chair hit it. I have since noticed that she swings her ears before her to detect objects. How smart and fascinating is she for doing this? I thought it might be a fluke, but I have followed her like a hawk today and she does do this. She swings her long ears to monitor what is in front of her. This is so fantastic! Survival of the fittest!
More touching sight with your ears later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
P.S. can you imagine how happy I am?

I think you have one smart little lady there Cat. She has really amazed me with how she has adapted. Give Emma a big hug from us.

I am still freaked out over this. Emma is amazing. She really makes all of my days fun!
That is awesome – it’s amazing how adaptable they are and how very smart they can be. Way to go Emma!!!
Thank you Helen Fleur and Monty! Hey, your website is really cool! We love it!
Emmers, you are one very special and barootiful houndie!
Big hugs and Bellyrubs,

When I hear something like this, I can’t imagine why people think Bassets are stupid.
I think this is Emma showing that she is independent. I bet the Mayor wasn’t surprised by her actions. Mayor Chaps knows how smart she is, and he wouldn’t want anyone stupid around him. I think this calls for extra treats for everyone.
Yipeeeeeeeeee, extra treats all around! Thanks Maureen! Love Cat, Chaps and the smart girl!
just totally pawsome hound! i am amazed. now her ears have secondary function!
