[Dailydrool] Schroeder Fetched..well almost!

[Swartz]

Annette had asked about bassets fetching. Colt & Ruger will fetch...when the 
mood strikes them.  We have a squeeky tennis ball that they will fetch, but 
only in the house.  They won't fetch outside for some reason, I imagine its 
because of the basset ADD that you spoke of.  I squeek the ball to get them 
excited, then they will fetch until they get tired.  They will also play 
fetch with a few of their stuffed toys but only when they want to...they 
have to bring you the toy and in their own way tell you to throw it.

Their Favorite game is Plytapus...Which is a stuffed plytapus tied onto a 
fishing pole that we drag around the yard and they chase after it.  Kind of 
like a modified lure chase.  Ruger is obsessed with this game.  And almost 
everynight around 6-6:30 he will sit and bark at you, run to the closet 
where it is kept and run back to bark at you.  He will do this until you get 
up to go get it and go outside to play.

I am so sorry to hear about Cakie & Pelusa, I cried when I read about their 
journey to the bridge.  Heart felt sorrow to their human parents/slaves. 
The magic of them will forever live in our memories.
My heart goes out to all of those that have lost hounds.  There are not to 
many things that are worse to deal with...other than the lose of a human 
child, parent or spouse.

Healing drool to all of the ill hounds, the boys and I hope that you all are 
feeling better soon and back to bossing your humans around.

Much love to all!

Drool Friends to the end and beyond,
Michele, Colt & Ruger
