I'm not talking about the undeniable fact that puppies literally bounce--that is a topic for another day. I'm talking about Bounce, the silly little piece of material (with or with Fresh Spring fragrance) that you put into your dryer. If you don't use this when you dry your clothes you get stuck with MAJOR static cling! And the only thing worse that staticy clothes is if you don't use conditioner in your hair (especially during the winter months) and you pull a fleece sweatshirt over your head and your hair stands up on end. But I digress...
Let's face it, bassets and laundry usually means the little buggers sneak between your legs to "steal" a dirty sock, or worse yet, dirty undergarments! When (not "if") this happens the next stage of you laundry routine consists of chasing the tiny-yet-stockily-built puplet around the house trying to get your pair of unmentionables out of that precious little mouth BEFORE they have a new decorative set of holes in them. Fat chance! First, the basset, a usually slow and sluggish moving beast suddenly has developed warp speed! They race around sporting their new found delicacy as if it were an Academy Award. The second you get close enough the dart this was and that--and you don't stand a chance at catching them because you can't run while trying to stop something whose belly is only 6 inches off the ground. Again, I digress...
So you open the dryer door and start to take out your fresh smelling, fluffy and clean clothes when you shake out a tshirt and the Bounce sheet falls to the floor. From all corners of the house (or so it sounds) comes the pounding of paws making the life-sustaining dash to the fallen sheet. Once obtained the lucky recipient spends the next few minutes chewing and shredding and tearing this small textile. And as quickly as it starts it ends. Left on the floor in at least 3 pieces is a slobber covered Bounce Dryer Sheet. What is it about those things?!
