Two-Hundred and Thirty-Seven. Dirty Mouth.

Thumper loved many things in his life and dirt was one of them. Being part beagle he had a nose for smells, and he used it. Thumper would always be snooting around and sniffing out new scents. He also liked to bury things. But Thumper dug and buried in a very special way: with his nose. He was a master at digging holes. Sometimes better than other dogs who used their paws. Burying things was one of his most notable traits. Corn cobs, bones, toads...you name it and Thumper buried it. He also loved to rub his snout on the ground. He would put his nose on the ground, pick up his front feet, and walk with his back feet. He would turn his head side to side allowing his direction to vary. Even at the very end he still rubbed his snout on the ground.
