The Otterhound traces its roots back to medieval England. They were initially developed as hunting dogs to catch otters in rivers, ponds, streams. The otters were valued for their fur, meat, and oil and also competed with people for fish. Otterhounds were so successful that otters nearly went extinct and hunting them is now against the law.

The whole subject of endorphins came into my purview when I began reading a fashion-related article online from the thestreet.com. By now, you all are well-acquainted with the fact that I keep my “eye on fashion” at all times. The headline of the feature read, “Popular clothing retailer shuts down unexpectedly,” written by Daniel Kline for The Street on March 16, 2024. He explains some companies who start as digital businesses (DTC: directly to consumers) also start selling in brick and mortar retail stores, too. The concept is sales made in the store, where the consumer can actually see and touch the merchandise, will result in future online orders from return buyers. The problem with that, according to Mr. Kline, is eventually, operational costs of the physical stores begin affecting profitability. When the pendulum swings in that direction, the cost of maintaining storefronts is a losing one.

My classically houndy [...]
Several recent experiences occurred causing me to review and change my mind about things that were always considered to be true. It all happened because of three well-known problems that were being included in a new book I was writing. My research uncovered information that was contrary to some of the long-accepted truths that had been told and accepted by breeders in the dog world. These events reminded that when the information you have seems to be overwhelming and convincing, it can still be wrong. And so it was, with each of these topics despite their acceptance by experienced breeders and owners.
