Everyone knows the old saying, “When pigs fly”, but what about “When hounds fly”? Do hounds even fly? The other day, Bailie and I were hanging out chatting when I told her hounds can fly. She was shocked and didn’t believe me. It was a really windy day, which makes us wild, so we decided to test out our hound wings.
I got the ball rolling…Emma, cleared for take off.
I did a little cruising at a low altitude. Such a long, stretched out form!
Bailie was ready for her first attempt at flying. Ready, set, and off into the blue skies!
Houston? Hounds can fly! How about a formation flight pattern?
Tandem flying is a lot of fun. Check the air speed, Bailie! The G Forces are doing a number on your face!
Once Bailie started flying, there was no stopping her! She has some altitude with her attitude now!
Step aside folks, little Bailie is coming in for a landing!
Before we knew it, we were both safe and sound on the ground, and Bailie thanked me endlessly for showing her hounds can fly. Sorry some of the photos aren’t crisp, but the photographer wasn’t prepared for our speed and had some setting issues.
I am joining the Monday Mischief blog hop brought to you by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies.
Wow, look at you….you CAN fly!

Flying hounds!
Woooo hooo!! LOVED this post! They sure were flying! Love the ears! Buckle up, they are preparing for landing!!!!!
There were some hard landings, but practice makes perfect!
Oh now I believe that pups can fly! Maybe your mom can wear her fabulous uniform to bring you drinks and snacks?
Mom in that uniform might scare us away!
OMD Emma, I LOVE the look on your faces as you run and fly around the yard! You two are having a wild time! I wish I had a sibling to run and fly with. Happy Monday

Sometimes having siblings is a real blast, other times I wish I was an only pet. At least there is always someone to play with.
Of course hounds can fly! You just have to believe.
That is correct! And Santa is real too!
I think you should join the Blue Angels or the Thunderdogs! You both get an “A” (Bailie gets an A+) for facial expressions. Wonderful show of air dynamics. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
I’m the queen of “the look”, but Bailie is the queen of goofy faces.
Just like tinker bell!!! Clap if you believe. We believe. Yep, Hounds can Fly! Great post, Emma, your doodle friend Dash
We believe!
Those are great action shots! I think your hounds wings are in good working condition!
They appear to be. Lots of flying fun.
Love these shots. Next time the pups should tilt straight up and try spinning their heads around like a helicopter. With those ears I’m sure they could get serious liftoff.
Yikes! Getting dizzy thinking about that!
Looks like a fabulous time. Don’t fly too high though.
We can only fly as high as we can safely land 😉
I’d say your doing a pretty darn good job at flying!!!!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
We are pretty good at it.
Looks like you both were ready for lift off. What a great day –
Lots of yard fun going on.
Wow, you two really DO FLY! OMD you are airborn with ears flapping. BOL These action pix made me wag like crazy.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, Police Commish
You could join in the chase from the ground!
So that’s how you fly!
Lily & Edward
Pretty simple stuff, isn’t it?
I love seeing how happy they are playing together.
We have our fights, but we also have tons of fun!
Oh Emma and Bailie. You remind me of my own Earl and Ethel, charging around together and diving on each other!!!

Chase and wrestle! The best dog game out there, and it is free!
These hounds have a beautiful flight. Their form is almost perfect. Yay for them!
Such cute pictures! Glad you had good flying weather!
Pretty smooth air, only light turbulence on landing.
AWE INSPIRING! Who’d have thunk! But then I have heard about the Hound of Heaven. I’m going to see if my sister and I can follow your flight pattern later today!
Your friend, Chablis
Happy contrails to you guys!
My goodness, y’all sure are amazing!!!
Not just your average hounds at my place!
OMD those are ASTOUNDING Pictures… of when HOUNDS Fly… We are Shocked… SO MANY of them…. and WOW can you two EVER catch some AIR !!!
Mom says we were really flying that day. The wind gets us really charged up!
Hehe, very nice 😉 Your pups can get up to speed for sure!!
Short legs but fast!
Emma, you sure CAN fly! You and Bailie look so happy spreading your hound wings! And your mom didn’t do a bad job at all of capturing it. 🙂
She was amazed because we were really flying and it went on for some time.
My dog Tucker flies, too. Particularly when he’s chasing a ball.
–Wags (and purrs) from Life with Dogs and Cats
Those dogs who love chasing balls to some awesome flights too.
Wow, you two really can fly!! Our crew would love to join you in that flying fun. I think the photos came out great…it’s not easy to catch all that action, I know!
I bet your pups have some flying moves of their own!
Wow! Y’all really do fly! I love Bailie’s expression and of course, the huggles after playtime is precious.
I enjoy a good huggle, but she is the queen of huggles.
wowie! Great photo documentation of the event!
You two have inspired many a dog today…

We love to get furry friends moving. More exercise equals better health, more calories burned, therefore, more room for snacks!
Those are fab action shots!!
Thank you.
Lol, those pics are adorable! Especially live the G forces effect on Baillie’s face!
That girl is so wild. She is lucky her face didn’t freeze like that in the winter!
What magnificent ear flappage you both have too!!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty and Bilbo
The flapping floppys help get altitude 😉
Love your flying photos! Mr. N runs like that too. He looks like he’s floating through the air.
I bet he has a real wild side!
Y’all look like you’re havin a pawsome time!
We had a blast that day!
I love these actions shots!! You two are so cute!
Thanks. There was nothing but action that day with all the wind. We were nuts.
Just imagine how high you would have flown if your coats were more aerodynamic. I’m sure it’s the short coats that get greyhounds going so fast. 🙂
My fluffiness does create some drag. Maybe right after a groomer visit would be better.
WOW!! Great job girls! It must be the floppy ears and low center of gravity!
and the incredible speed too!
Great flying skills!
Thanks. We sure tried.
I love the sisterly hug in the last picture. 🙂
I enjoy giving hugs, but Bailie is all about hugging almost all the time.
Fabulous action shots. Sadly Mary Hansen wasn’t at the chessie days. Since she has been getting into the tracking and nose work she hasn’t been able to attend. We had a great weekend, cold in the beginning of the day then it turned out to be very nice.
Well, you never know. She has been doing a lot of tracking lately.
Great job on flying guys, Bailie’s face was definitely a little wild looking. We don’t have to try that we know you can’t launch 140 and 155 lbs.!!
Newfies aren’t real flying machines, but you guys can sure swim!
What a lot of fun, little Bailie!
We were having an absolute blast!
How did I not know that dogs can fly? Looks like a lot of fun!
I don’t know about all dogs, but hounds, specifically GBGV’s sure can fly!
I think you and Bailie look way better flying than pigs would. 🙂
As long as we don’t look like flying bacon, I’m okay with it.
Love all those action shots, Ms. Emma and your sister has some very cute facial expressions when she’s flying. 😉
My sister always makes such goofy faces!
It looks like so much fun. Brown dawgs like to fly too.
I bet they can really fly with their speed!
I can see you had a wonderful time! The photos are great. But Bailie does look slightly manic in a couple – don’t tell her I said that!
She is a maniac. We are wondering if she will ever mellow out and be a “normal” dog.
Yay Emma!! I’m going to fly really soon! I wanted to fly yesterday, I did I did!! but Mommy wouldn’t let me because she hates it when I do really cool stuff like flying off a bridge, over the water, and onto the sand way over on the other side. Stupid Mommy.

Just fly while running, it is fun.
