The very rare and elusive flip the ear into the mouth maneuver, still not captured….
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and very rare and elusive flip the ear into the mouth maneuver lovers:
OK – Let’s get deep here. How many of you have ever seen this highly skilled and methodical approach to getting every last drop of goodness?
I have only seen Chaps do this on maybe 5 occasions since he has come to be the best boy in the world, according to his Mom. Here is what he does. He has a really good treat, like a piece of birthday cake. Just a tiny taste. Emma had a tiny taste as well.
After Chaps ate his tid bit, he stood like an elephant swinging it’s trunk, instead he was swinging his ears. After about the 5th swing, he flipped the ear that had a bit of icing on it into his mouth and slowly, ever so slowly moved into the kitchen. He was holding his ear in his mouth, carrying it like it was a price possession. He was in a trance like state.
Of course I missed the money shot. This was all I got.
See how wet his ears are? Then he tried to go for it again, and it just was not the same for him. He was over it.
Dang it! I wonder if I will ever capture the elusive, flip the ear into the mouth maneuver?
Maybe more cake is in order later? Love, Cat, Chaps (the magnificent) and Emma

More cake. YES!!!!
You could just apply icing directly to the Mayor’s ears and see what happens!
Biggs does this maneuver frequently after dinner when he’s settled in his chair–I say he’s eating his dessert:)

Mary that is so funny! I think it is the cutest thing. It is very serious for the Mayor!
I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this; but, I am not surprised. The Mayor just oozes talent and ingenuity.
