[Dailydrool] lonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg Bassets

[GalinkinSK at aol.com]

My Abraham Ga-linkin is extremely long...he measures 57" long.  from  the 
tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.  This was an official  measurement 
done when they measured his ears for the Longest Ears Contest at  last years 
Tri-State Waddle.  Everyone tells me ..."he is the biggest  basset I have 
ever seen".  What they mean is the longest.  He weights  83 pounds and is NOT 
fat...has a waist and you can feel almost see his  ribcage.  My Vet said he 
is at a perfect weight.  Sadly he is not the  heaviest basset I have 
had...the late great Violet Rose and Polly Esther both  came in at 90 pounds 
each...which is something I am not proud about.   Violet Rose came to me so 
emaciated that when she was to be spade the doctor  could not find the lining of 
her uterus all due to  malnutrition.   But that's another story in itself.  
 
I know there were many threads about the 4th of July...my Owen is so  
fearful of fireworks and of thunder and lightening.  A friend of mine who  is Vet 
Tech relayed information that a client with a very fearful golden had  
tried a new product and swore by it...the product is called Pet-EZE which  is 
available at Petsmart.   I went and bought it and about 1 1/2 hours  before 
the fireworks were to go off I gave Owen his dosage.  If you go to  my 
Facebook (Shelley Galinkin) page and look at my photos of "Owen Sedated" you  can 
all see for yourself how wonderful the product worked.  I hope it works  that 
well with thunder and lightening...if only I knew when they would actually  
occur I could get a dosage into him at least an hour prior to the storm.  
 
One more thing ...we discovered a litter of kittens under our  
shed....sigh...As of today we caught three with two more to go.  I thought  I had it 
covered as we originally thought there were only 3 kittens and I had  homes for 
those three (of course we are keeping one)  when yesterday   when we were 
feeding the last kitten (so we thought) another one came out and  then 
another one.  The reason we didn't realize there were 5 kittens is  because the 
last three are all gray .  I am  somewhat frantic and all  the shelters and 
rescues are inundated with kittens..Two have already been to  the vet and the 
final three will also be going  once all are in  custody.  They are /have 
been tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV,  de-wormed, de-fleaed but not 
vaccinated as they are too young.  So if  anyone on list who wants a kitten or who 
knows of a rescue that might be able to  take them ...Please let me know.  I 
also have pictures on Facebook under  Feral Cats.  We live in Toms River, 
NJ  Ocean County. I plan to trap,  neuter and release the mother if we can 
trap her...I have never seen her as she  is very elusive.  I also think this 
might be Mary Todd's mother  as  well...
