Way to go Rolph. You're a hero, we think that definitely deserves extra
cookies, or sausage (your preference, hehehe) and bellyrubs. Cowboy
recommends milking this one for a good week or so.

Hi, Lainee,
I have met Barbara Cromley (in fact some years ago, I showed under her -
didn't do much in the ring that day, but I was a rank novice at the
time..). Some of her Lochopt dogs are what we call "back of my dogs" in the
pedigree, meaning that a number of her dogs are represented in the ancestors
of my bitch Phoebe.
She and her husband bred Risk (CH. Lochopt Risk of Rebownd, ROM), who
produced Ch. Halcyon Lochopt Letterman, who then sired CH. Halcyon
Tailgater, who won Best of Breed at the Basset Hound Club of America 1991
specialty. Letterman also sired CH. Brasstax Robin of Locksley, who was the
1987 Basset Hound Club of America National Specialty Best of Breed Winner.
"Robbie" was the grandsire of my girl Phoebe, and is the great-grandsire of
my girls Surprise and Luna, and my co-breeder's Isaac and Dinah, and a
number of other beautiful HeavenScent dogs living happily as pets with a
variety of families in the NW.
Do ask Mrs. Cromley about the background and pedigrees of the puppies she
is showing you. If you are lucky, you will hear stories and see pictures of
some beautiful and top-winning Bassets over the past couple of
decades....While I know your interest is in a pet puppy for your family, one
of the best things about getting a well-bred dog is forging a good
relationship with a reputable breeder, and one of the ways to good breeders'
hearts is to ask them about the dogs they have bred! You'll learn a lot....
I think you will likely enjoy meeting Mrs. Cromley, and I think if you are
able to get a puppy or a young dog from her, you should be very happy with
longevity and looks both....
Hope this is helpful.

I had to laugh about the Basset/Beagle identification problem. It reminded me of my own little Barney, a pound puppy who was mostly Cocker, a bit of Schnauzer, and some Lhasa thrown in for good measure, He got the Cocker body shape, size, and general personality, the Schnauzer head and beard, but got Lhasa hair--that horrible fuzzy, easily-matted wooly stuff that hates to be combed. I usually kept Barney in a sort of modified Cocker cut when I had him groomed just so that he didn't have mounds of hair all over him because he hated to be brushed and would take off for the back forty if a comb were in sight. Most of the time, though, he sort of looked like a ragamuffin mop dog...a sort of a "Benji" dog. He was happy that way, and as long as he didn't get fleas, ticks, etc., I let him be. During the hot summers in the panhandle of Texas, he loved to lay in the kiddie pool up to his chin in water, so I knew he was pretty clean most of the time. In winter, we did the
brush and combing bit--all before the invention of the Furminator--much to his great displeasure. He was a good sport, though, and tolerated this "torture" for nearly 16 years before he went to the bridge. He was my first rescue dog, and is the reason I now have others. Penelope, my "Basselope" is mostly Basset with Brittany. She was my first Basset "experience." Jasmine and Pelly came along shortly after Penelope "Bassetized" me.
Now, to preface this story a bit more, I must include a bit about my dear Dad. Dad was an inventive soul, and often claimed that he had an "old Albanian grandmother" who created recipes, brewed home remedies, had wise "advice", etc. Dad's family was German through and through...not an Albanian in the bunch and certainly none of his European ancestors had ever ventured to Albania (they actually went to Russia), but he kept up the fun about that mythic grandmother. It became quite a family joke, and whenever we could not explain something or needed to have some kind of "origin" for something, out came dear old "Grandma."
One day I had to take Barney to the vet for his usual round of shots and heartworm test. We were starting with a new vet after having moved to a different part of the city, so I had the usual paperwork to fill out. The inevitable "breed" blank came up on the intake form, and I thought I would have a little fun, so I very carefully put in "North American Albanian Weasel Hound" in quotes and went on to finish the form. (I often called Barney "Weasel" as a nickname because he could get a bit "weasely" at times, so the name sort of fit.) I turned in the form and waited for the tech to call us back to the exam room.
The receptionist took the form, and began to process it, but stopped to ask about Barney's breed. It was all I could do to keep a straight face and affirm that the information was correct. She "just had to see this doggie", and stood up and draped herself over the counter to get a better look at him. Barney was flat out on the floor, sound asleep, looking ever-so-much like one of those wide floor mops that school custodians use to sweep hallways.
"Oh, he's soooo cute!" she cooed in her west Texas twang. "I just love his cute little face and that little black nose and all that fur! Wherever did you get him?"
Oh, Lord, what have I done now? This woman BELIEVES this! "Uh, well....he is the last descendent of my old Albanian great-grandmother's dog that she brought with her from the old country. He's the very last one...there aren't any more." Uh-huh, sure she is going to believe this....
"Oh, that's too bad. I would really like a dog like that. Do you think there are any more in, uh, where was that? Alabama??"
"No, ma'am...he's the very last one, and he's pretty old." (Barney was about 10 at the time.)
"How sad. He sure is cute, though..."
I was praying she wouldn't think to ask me to breed him to her pet whatever just to get a puppy.... We were called in for our appointment in the nick of time. Saved by the tech!
-------------------
I have had people ask me about those big black, brown, and white Dachshunds I own while am standing there in my Basset Hound sweatshirt and baseball cap...and one lady was absolutely positive that Penelope was a WELSH CORGI (she's about twice the size of any Corgi I've ever seen!). People see what they want to see and know what they "know." It keeps life interesting!
Keep up the good fight and educate the world about Bassets!!!

The only time dogs can digest carrots is when they're ground really well or
pureed. Carrots are part of my dog's veggie mush, along with dark greens.
Yes, carrots will digest, but they definitely need to be ground into a very
mushy, almost watery, consistency. And the benefits of pureed carrots to
whole carrots are higher, because when they're ground nothing passes through
the dog; he will digest and "use" all the carrot :o)

I can't help you find a new cleaning lady and if you saw my house you'd know that "I" am extremely under qualified. What I am here to suggest is that if your cleaning lady's only complaint was that your dog hair being too much for her vacuum, maybe you could supply a vacuum at your house to be used there. Maybe a nice Dyson Animal at your house for the cleaning lady to use while there would solve the problem.

We're lucky enough to have three dog parks here in Nashville, TN. The
way Metro Parks and Recreation Department handles pitbulls in the dog
parks is to post signs at all the gates saying that all pitbulls and
dogs with pitbull physical characteristics are not allowed in the
parks. The parks police don't actually police the dog parks. In fact,
I've never seen them stopping by a dog park to check things out or be
a presence. The dog parks end up being self-policing, which sometimes
works and sometimes doesn't.
Every so often someone will come in with a pitbull mix, but every
time I've been there and it's happened the dog has been well-
socialized and its human is on top of things. It's been several years
since I've seen a young thug bringing in his pitbull street cred. The
last time it happened while I was there, the guy didn't stay but a
few minutes. Just long enough to make the point that he's big, he's
bad, and he's got no control over his dog. Fortunately the dog's
visit was uneventful.
The signs on the gates also say no unsupervised children. Funny how
there seem to be fewer instances of pitbulls/pitbull mixes than there
are instances of unsupervised children, at least when I'm at the dog
park. Even more bothersome to me than the lone children are the
parents who bring their children to the dog park as if it's some kind
of petting zoo. They clearly have no clue that canine social dynamics
are happening and constantly changing all around them. A dog park is
really no place for an infant in a carrier or a wobbly toddler to be.
Of course if something happens to a child in a dog park, it'll always
be the dog owner's fault and not the parent's for using incredibly
poor judgment.
What really gets me is the fool who periodically brings his two small
children to the dog park I use, and all three of them are on
rollerblades. Then he sits the kids down on a bench and lets them eat
snacks. There's a reason the dog park rules posted by the front gate
say "no food." All this situation needs is one dog with food
aggression issues. Or our Elsinore and her ability to gently but
effectively take a child's treat from her hand by easing her way up
the child's body, stepping on the child's shoulders, if need be, to
reach her hand with the treat held high. The last time this happened,
I put Elsinore on her leash and we waited while that child ate her
snack. I swear the kid deliberately ate more and more slowly. It was
very unfair to Elsinore who was, after all, in her park and not on
the child's playground. I've decided that the next time it happens,
I'm going to tell the father that he's endangering his children by
allowing them to eat around the dogs and they really should leave the
dog park until they've finished their snacks.

Yesterday I took two of the Havasu Hounds over to Petsmart to have their
nails clipped (Newmie and Chopper) and while I was there a lady told me a

When we got Freddie at 4 months he was a biter too. Its part of what
they're supposed to learn what NOT to do when they stay with their Momma's until
about 12 weeks. Sounds like your baby left his momma too soon like ours.
Freddie was a petstore pup that was separated from his momma way to early. We
got him there before we knew any better. Since then, we've learned the horrid
facts and rescued our Ellie from MABHR.
Anyway, we took Freddie to doggy daycare at our vets office once a week to
show him that he wasn't a tough as he thought. That really helped with the
biting. We also got him into training that helped at bit for him to understand
that we are the pack leaders and he is the sidekick.
As far as the grooming issues Freddie used to nip at me when I'd try to do
his nails. So I started putting him sideways under my leg and I would have my
husband slowly feed him tiny training treats as I cut the nails. It worked
and now he lets me do it. I still give a couple tiny treats, but heck its
worth it. He still hates to have his ears cleaned and tries to run away but at
least he doesn't bite. Definitely try to replace his fears with rewarding
him for being good. Also we played with Freddies feet as he'd be sleeping or
laying down with us relaxing. It gets them used to you handling their toes.
Best of luck. These behaviors can be changed it just takes time.
Helene, Freddie and Ellie

Amber we are so hoping Lizzie is okay--we send drool-we have been there/done
that-I had the Dazer with me, if you go to search and dog dazer it comes up,
runs about 25 dollars. It sure worked and kept us safe. At first I was
worried as it puts out a very hi pitched sound only animals can hear, but after it
was all said and done, I have to say I was glad Elwood could hear it too-had
he barked, growled, tried to defend himself--well it might of made made
matters worse-it is worth the money in my opinion-it sure helped us.
We wish you well, we know things are upside down for you--

My beloved Gaylon is once again riding horses, his life and his love. He was a true cowboy in the very essence of the word. He lived and breathed the cowboy ways.
I want to thank each and every one that has sent cards and private emails. I have answered most every email I have received to date. Your kind and caring words mean more than you will ever know.
I am so blessed and have been for the last 10 years to be a member of this "family" called the Daily Drool.
Thank you Nancy Gallagher for starting this wonderful list that has developed into such an important part of many, many lives.

At the gates I met Saint Peter, but the gates were swinging doors
Inside the room looked like a old saloon, with sawdust on the floor
Through the air played country music, I could hear my favorite song
Everyone I've ever loved and lost, was inside and sang along
I turned and looked at Peter, I said I just don't understand
He smiled at me so gently, than he reached out for my hand
He welcomed me to heaven; said your faith is what you see
This will be your new forever, then the angels sang to me
You're a cowboy in heaven; that's the way it's meant to be
You're a cowboy in heaven; go and see your family
Your life began the day you died; now giddy up and get inside
You're a cowboy in heaven; it's time to meet your destiny
As I walked in through those swinging doors, my heart was beating fast
Reminders every where's I looked, of the life that now has past
The life I lived, was the life I loved, where the Lord had assured every need
My hat and my horse, my boots and of course, the Good Book that I took time to read
Everyone inside had died, yet today they all are livin
Singing songs and carrying on, like their sins have been forgiven
I turned back to look for Peter, he just smiled again and waived
Right then I knew, God's promise was true, and the life that I loved had been saved
I'm a cowboy in heaven; like I always prayed to be
I'm a cowboy in heaven; still in awe at all I see
My life began the day I died, cause now here on the other side
I'm a cowboy in heaven; but why would God do this for me
The whole place got real quiet, until I heard somebody say
The spirit is upon us; let us all join hands and pray
Than suddenly in front of me, a vision has appeared
A man I'd never met before, in a robe, and with a beard
He told me He'd been watching, what a good job I had done
He put His arms around me, and He said "I Love You Son"
I've never felt such joy before, complete and utter bliss
I knew that I was home for sure, when Jesus told me this
You're a cowboy in heaven; that is what I chose for thee
You're a cowboy in heaven; where your soul is now set free
Your life began the day you died, and you'll walk along My side
You're a cowboy in heaven; because you believed in ME
You're a cowboy in heaven; because you believed in ME
