Release the hounds

Release the hounds

RELEASE THE HOUNDS

File this one under pure mischief and sheer utter silliness, you guys.

The other day Nuggie and I were out sampling the mixology at the Canal Club in Venice Beach (our new cool spot for happy hour), when a guy walked by our window with his Bassett Hound. I think Bassett Hounds may be an endangered species. Seriously. When was the last time you saw one?

As the guy walked by, I looked out the window and marveled. These dogs are actually pretty big dogs if you think about it. Their bodies are pretty large for those short, little legs.

SIDE NOTE: I was also sipping on the best Ginger Martini I’ve ever tasted (though it was really my first) and it packed a punch, so you won’t be surprised what happened next.

I said, “I wonder what Bassett Hounds would look like if they had longer legs?”

As often happens, M.C. Nugget was confused. “What do you mean? Like, what kind of animal?”

“No, I mean, what kind of dog would they look like? Do you think a Labrador?”

“Maybe,” he said. Then he stopped himself short and teased, “What? Are you getting out the lab coat again so you can find out? BRING IN THE LAB COAT!”

“I just might!” I defended. “Think about it! These dogs are very large for those little legs!”

We laughed and I continued:

“I couldn’t very well say ‘Release the Hounds’ with regular Bassett Hounds. They’d only mosey over and waddle to their prey.” (you can tweet that)

Release the Hounds

But hmm… longer legs…

I can’t wait to get my lab coat on and conduct the experiment.

If only I had a lab…or a coat.

TRUST ME: NO ANIMALS WERE, OR WILL EVER BE HARMED BY MS. CHEEVIOUS.

About MsCheevious

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis

    I wonder how many fantasy books, scientific experiments and new foods were concocted while under a martini influence! LOL – funny post. Though I am partial to grey goose very dirty martini’s with enough olives in it to make a meal.

      You know, Elyse, my normal go-to cocktail is an extra dry Absolute martini with three olives (meal-time)… not dirty. I just like the pure vodka, but this was on happy hour and was DELISH. I was pleasantly surprised. My next post will be about Ms. Cheevious ways to be healthy. Get your GINGER over HERE! lol

        HaHa you don’t see them often because it takes so long to walk them!! Who walks a Bassett hound? Maybe they were bred to sniff out ginger roots?

          Ahhhhh… Onisha! I think you may be onto something. We must test this theory. Who’s with me? Anyone? Anyone?

    An interesting concept and as my mind wandered (as it does quite often) but this time with me in tow, I saw longer legs and realized I think they’d look like a blood hound, maybe. Of course, most blood hounds are rusty brown colored – it would be cool to see a little more color – then maybe not. Crap, now I’m going to be wondering about this for the next couple of hours, if not daze (sic!).

    I wanted a Bassett Hound for my college graduation. I was obsessed with them for several years. Now I want a pug, equally fat and short, but which out the baleful howl. 🙂

    Really funny post….how much writing has begun with ‘I wonder what would happen if’…and I’m sure Martini may even have played a part at times. Loved it!

    I love Bassetts. They seem so goofy looking. Doey dee doey dee doy. I have only met one person that owned one, but now my hubby’s daughter just announced she wanted to take one back to college with her… along with her fish and tarantula of course, funny kid.
