[Dailydrool] What I've done since Saturday

[Patty Crawford]

Oh My
I can not believe how much I have been involved in stuff since Saturday. 
Saturday we had our big fund raiser for BRoPS. It was a ball 40+ bassets plus a 
few wanna be's off leash begging for their own picnic plate of goodies from the 
humans hanging around socializing. 3 hrs of fun, games,food and me committing 
myself to a 8yr old basset boy named Jake, lead to pizza, pasta and beer for the 
exhausted ring leaders later that night. Sunday I attended a bridal shower left 
that to pick up a beautiful basset boy and deliver him to his foster mom. Monday 
I didn't have to be at work till 12:00 so I was taking my time getting my salon 
books, rescue deposit and my own personal. I got a call from Alexa saying we 
need to get a check to our vet so we could get some special tests done on a 6yr 
old sweet boy we have that is having mystery health problems. So off I went got 
the check to the vet then off to work. Tallulah had spent the night at Auntie 
Joni's so when I got off I headed to her house. On my way to her house I 
came upon what I thought at first was opossum but as I got closer is was a dog 
crossing a busy road very slowly. I came to a halt jumped out of the car called 
to this small dog and it came right to me. It smelled horrible and the coat was 
matted. Tried calling Alexa no answer so I headed to Joni's. When I got there I 
showed Joni, grabbed the clippers and headed toward Alexa's. Joni kept calling 
till she answered so she was prepared when I got there. We worked on this poor 
pup for over 1hr 30min. It was so matted it had soars, pooh was so caked on it 
bumm it was red and raw. Benign basset people working on a small longhair dog 
was very strange. but we did uncover a shitzu. As far as we could tell it was a 
girl so I named her Miss Brier Rose (found her on Brier Road). Today I took her 
to a vet because I saw something in her pooh. Pooh came out clean but the base 
of the tail is infected so the vet started to shave some of the hair we had not 
gotten off to expose all of the infection. We found infection and maggots pretty 
gross but they are all gone we have medicine for that plus eye ointment because 
the left eye has been injured at sometime. Then I took her to the groomer to 
finish dematting. I was working but two of my girls went over to the groomer (we 
are in the same shopping center) to see Brier. Well they came back with surprise 
"ITS A BOY" they took pictures, the tummy was so matted and he doesn't hike a 
leg to pee we thought he was a girl. So Miss Brier is now Mr Brier. He is 
hanging at Alexa's and he blends right in. The bassets (8 total) could care 
less. Brier gets the raised bed in the living room and loves to hang out in the 
computer room and wants to sleep on the bed, he also walks through the house 
like he owns it. I think BRoPS now has a shitzu mascot. I will call the eye 
specialist tomorrow (he is a client of mine) and see what he can do for his eye. 
He is a mess but he has not protested about one thing that has been done to him. 
Today after all the icky was off of him and Alexa brought him by the salon you 
could see he felt better. He is a sweety. If I could find this poor guys owner I 
want to "GO Marlene" on him or worse.
I'm looking forward to after the 4th when I will add my new man Jake to my 
family.
Healing Drool to all.
