It wasn&#8217;t in Latin, so I grazed right over it- I completely missed that he was inviting me to be a Bloodhound Blogger! My first response was telling my husband that Greg was making fun of me and using words that I should know (umm, I do have a B.A. in English, but I haven&#8217;t practiced in a while, so my fluency is fading&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, I had to return ad fontes (as DuBellay would put it) to the other Bloodhound Bloggers&#8217; first posts. That messed me up even more- I feel obligated to be intellectual (Greg Swann), comical (my hero- Kris Berg) and be able to tell a great story (Teri Lussier). Instead, I will carefully select a dog I most relate to; that seems logical, right?  First, I had to wonder if I would relate to my American Eskimo, but I don&#8217;t shed quite as much as he does, and I don&#8217;t feel the need to constantly walk behind my Person with my nose on their back leg at all times (I mean all the time, never ever never ever stopping, even if my nose is wet). Instead, after further consideration, I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;m a French bulldog.<\/p>\n<p>I appointed myself as a French bulldog because I am small, I think I&#8217;m funny, I am playful and I make a great companion. My drawbacks are my big ears (not literally) and that I dig a lot. I really do dig- I am constantly absorbing hundreds of blogs, websites, newspapers, business journals and Fox News simultaneously- it&#8217;s a problem&#8230; I&#8217;m working on it. But, I&#8217;m potty trained, I don&#8217;t usually drink from the toilet, and I learn new tricks every day- I might just be the fresh addition BHB needs!     <\/p>\n<p>I am (purposely) not a licensed Real Estate Agent, nor am I a Realtor, but the only thing I&#8217;ve ever known is Real Estate.
