Our head is very large and at the end of
every snoot is our magical nose. This is our most prominent feature. Our
nose has done amazing work in search and rescue, as well as get us in lots of
trouble at dinner time!
Our eyes always have a "sad" appearance, but if in a happy home, we are never
sad! Bloodhound's eye lids are often turned in our out, (which gives our eyes
the unique appearance), which could lead to health problems. Our eyes need to constantly be
cleaned. They often get goopy which could cause infections is the goop is
not wiped away. Then connected to our head is our long, floppy ears.
They, too have to be cleaned inside and out at least weekly. Because my
ears are so long, and because I usually walk with my nose to the ground, the
tips of my ears pick up all kind of stuff. When I drink water, my ears get
drenched and wet ears are like a magnet to dirt and dust. The inside of my
ears must be worse, because it takes a long time to clean them. I hear dad
and mom say my ears are like the Grand Canyon on the inside. What's the
Grand Canyon? Well, anyway, it's important to keep my ears clean...weekly,
not only to prevent health issues, but because my ears will get very stinky,
too. Lastly, on my face is my mouth. My "flews", or lips are extra large,
which makes my mouth appear to be quite big and with a set of large teeth, this
could be intimidating. I can hide a baseball in my flews, really! I always
have to have my flews cleaned, because they could get real messy, which brings
me to my next physical characteristic...
