[Dailydrool] picky eating & guarding mom

[Marsdoxy2 at aol.com]

Oh my what can I say, I believe my first basset wrote the book of rules for 
 picky eaters and we all obliged her every whim. she might eat off a dog 
dish and  then again maybe not, next came the dinner plate ( human ) of 
course, she would  eat off that for three or four days and then turn  her nose up 
so we went  to a paper plate which she liked for a while and then it was 
eating out of our  hand but the one that took the cake was my husband laying on 
the dining room  floor feeding her off a spoon !  I had several pictures of 
that but after  my computer crashed last year I loss all of my pictures. 
yes she trained us  well.
 
I have a very aggressive Basset who feels it is her job to protect her  
mommy.  she started at a very young age 4 months and has not looked  back,  
family she is ok with, but when we go for a walk or we are in the  car, she  is 
extremely protective of me, I just said to my husband  yesterday about how 
nice it would be to go to a park and walk, it was a  beautiful day and LOTS 
of people were out walking in the park on the trails with  their dogs,  not 
Bill and Marlene, oh No   Annie would want to  attack and fight with every 
dog she saw. you would never guess  that she  went through three different 
dog classes,  but when she is around us or  Maggie Wags she is a marsh mellow, 
like Dr. Jerkily  and Mr.  Hyde  hat is why I call her Evil Anie I just can 
not trust her around  other dogs
 
Annie got my husband and I up a total of 7 times Saturday night during the  
night to go out and pee, so Sunday I got a urine sample and OH MY  it was  
full of dark brown blood and clots, if you all remember I just went through 
this  a couple months back when they put her on antibiotics and cranberry 
extract, I  demanded an X-Ray and it showed NO STONES,  so fine , what do I 
know, well  over the weekend she started to display symptoms again and like I 
said she had  several clots in her urine, so the vet sent it out to day to 
have a complete  culture work up on it and he said something about the 
possibility of bladder  cancer, so we are keeping our fingers crossed  that it is 
NOT the big  C,   she just turned 4 on the 10th of OCT.in the meantime one 
of my  friends and a drooler suggested a Ultra sound, so we will do that  
after  the culture  comes back , in the meantime I have to find a place that 
does  Ultra sounds  close to my area.
 
My youngest son asked if he could borrow my car today, he is having new  
brake lines put on his honda, so I go over to pick him up and of course my 
girls  just love their brother Joel.  so Joel gets in the passenger seat and  
Maggie is standing on the center counsel and she has her nose right in Joels  
face,  Joel said "  mom, what does she want ?  bwahahaha ?   I said she 
wants a KISS,  he is stunned, REALLY ?  yes Joel, she wants  a kiss, so he 
kissed her on top of her head and I said  NO JOEL  she  wants you to kiss her on 
the lips the dumb look on his face was worth a good  belly laugh !  He said 
 " MOM there is NO way I am going to kiss this  dog on the lips !   and  
then he asked  DO you kiss her on  the lips and I said  Hell yes Joel !  not 
right  after she has  licked her butt, I usually wait a little while,  but 
yes I kiss her every  night at bedtime,  the horrified look on his face , I 
was always really  goood at convincing my kids that there was a man living in 
the moon and that he  ate blue cheese !  I tried to hug him and give him a 
kiss when he dropped  me off, but he wouldn't kiss me  bwahahahahahah  !!!!!!
