My Basset Hound, Bellah, lets me know (by howling ) when there is company at the door. Most of my guests look forward to my Hillbilly Door bell. This poor little Trick-or-Treater screamed, cried, & fled after she knocked on my door. Bellah is more sad than ashamed. Sign reads: “A Trick-or-Treater knocked on the Door. I Howled. She ran away. My Trick caused her to lose a few of her Treats.”

I *love* the term, “Hillbilly door bell.” (I’ve had Bassets for decades. Ever heard of http://www.dailydrool.com ? For us Basset cases, LOL.)

We once dressed up our mutt Einstein (RIP) as a ghost with only a white bedspread with two holes as eye sockets. To the “visitors” who came to our Victorian home, from the dark corner of the front porch he would jump up and bark with such vigor (his entire 11 lbs body would be in midair). Everyone would scream and scatter. We ended up with so much left over candies.

Aww, so adorable! To me, hounds have such a non threatening sounding howl/bark 🙂

I have a basset hound he is my little baby boy even though he is five years old he still acts like a puppy and loves to get into shower lofas.
