Hello.
My name is Hermione, named after the Harry Potter character,
because my mommy is absolutely nuts about those books.
I absolutely adore food, and dance around in big circles when it is meal
time. I also like to jump on my mommy to make her move faster. She
doesn't seem to like it very much, but it is fun anyway.
My nose gets me in trouble sometimes. I can smell food any where, and am
always very determined to find it, even if my daddy says, "No." I just
think he is testing me. I can't understand why his face gets so red, can
you?
I love swimming, especially on a hot day (we have lots of those here),
when I can paddle around in the water, then run inside and leave lovely
wet footprints all over Mommy's clean floor. It is even more fun to jump
on the white duvet.
I really do give my mommy and daddy a hard time, but they really do love
me more than anything and tell me so all the time.
Bluetick coonhounds are very rare in South Africa. We were very lucky to
get a dog like her. We only know of one other person who has her sister.
At first she was very hard work, but since we learned how to handle her,
she has been the best pet we have ever had. I love her to bits and would
never change her.
Hermione loves her food to the point of obsession. She knows when it is
16:00 and it is supper time - to the point that she dances in circles
and jumps about four feet in the air across us as we walk!
Walking is also one of her favorite activities, and she loves
socializing with other dogs and people we meet. When we get back home,
the first thing she does is paddle in the pool to cool herself down.
Her characteristic howl can also be heard up and down the street if we
dare leave her at home. She loves driving in the car. I have to open the
window so that she is able to stick her head out and have her ears,
eyelids and gums flapping in the wind. She also gets very upset with me
if I dare do anything as inconsiderate as stop at a stoplight or stop
sign!!
We really love her, so thank you again for giving us this opportunity to
show her off to the rest of the world!
