Bloodhounds slap hard, just wait until she becomes very comfortable with you! You are on my couch- slap! I want you to pet me-slap! I just feel like giving you some love - slap! They are the most loveable dogs but they really have a mind of their own.
.
She slaps me around all the time.
OMG! She already does that.
My catahoula does that. He'll slap, then rest his paw on my leg and give me his pleading face, willing me to read his mind. If he's particularly worked up he throws in the "talking".
I will be sitting on the couch watching tv when I have this feeling I am being watched, all it takes it eye contact to start up his barking and slapping. He is not even allowed on the couch nor could he get up there with his old crippled self! It's just the principle in his mind. They are stubborn but oh so loveable.

mine does it too, but she's not particularly vocal about anything. We have been teaching Havoc "high five" and he'll out of the blue smack you in the head thinking he's going to get a treat...

Well he is only doing what you taught him!
Christy, any new pictures? How's Patton doing?
Just got back from the vet and Patton has a pretty severe case of pneumonia.He's on meds and hopefully will get better. I always wind up with the very expensive animals from Tri-County.

I hope he gets better soon 
Oh no! Did they explain what to feed him and to keep him hydrated? Pedialyte, etc. and to feed him things like rice, even baby food..things easy on his belly? You can also thump on his chest to loosen the mucus in his lungs...steam is good too.
I had kittens earlier that had a bad case of pneumonia (got it from where they were neutered in Waldorf) and they were really, really sick.
Monitor his temp too.
He won't drink either. I keep trying different things. Chicken broth was my last attempt. She rehydrated him but if he hasn't improved any by tomorrow I will take him back. He is pretty sick and may wind up being hospitalized if there is no improvement within 48 hours. She showed me how to thump his chest and did say to stick him in the bathroom with us when we shower. He's on clavamox and baytril. She gave him an injection of antibiotic but told me to still hit him up with the pills too. He's not too fond of me right now for shoving my fingers down his throat so he won't spit out the pill.
Thanks.
You can also give him a little Karo syrup..put on your fingers and rub on his gums...keep his sugar up.
I will make a trip to the grocery store tomorrow.
I don't have any of that.
She did run a bunch of tests and his blood sugar is good, as well as his red and white blood cell count. He also doesn't have a fever so she says that is a very good thing. We just gotta clear up those awful lungs.
It can help stimulate his appetite too.

Poor Patton... let me know if I can help with anything!!! I agree with Catt!
Maple syrup will work too.
Great on no fever. Keep checking it...
great that you do whatever it takes ..... Just got back from the vet and Patton has a pretty severe case of pneumonia.
