Hi all, it's me,

I've been playing in the street again.  The Santa Cruz half marathon was today 
... beautiful day for it.  I finished it in under 2 1/2 hours ... the surf was 
really pretty and it just takes your mind away.  Which is why ... during mile 
13, I tripped.  No big deal ... but after I crossed the finish line I did go 
over and get a bandaid for the knee.  And pulled the leg of my tights back down 
and promply forgot about it.  Until I got home.

Walked in the door and Cyrus did the mommy's home dance .... LuLu sang a chorus 
... and Snoopy charged straight at me, sniffing my knee through my tights and I 
swear he had this look on his face like "I KNEW it!  You've been playing in the 
street again and now you've gone and hurt yourself!!  Haven't you??  WHAT did I 
tell you about playing in the street???"  It was all there on his face as he 
inspected the knee with his snooter ... the other two didn't even notice.

He is following me all around the house now ... trying to make sure I'm ok.  I 
asked him  "aw ... who's the first perfect basset hound."  He looked around over 
his shoulder as if looking for it, and then turned to me as if to say "I don't 
know but it's not me, that much is sure."  He's quite a character.

We really appreciate hearing from everyone about bloat because we are clueless. 
 I heard from another drooler who's dog also bloated last week and also resolved 
at home with a huge burp (or six)  that's two lucky droolers in one week.  YEAH. 
 She called her vet too.  And the opinions were similar.  But, unlike the other 
dog, Snoopy is a good candidate for a stomach tack because Snoopy only 6 and he 
is in good health otherwise (he had a checkup 10 days ago when I noticed he 
seemed to be struggling to pee in the morning.  What a hoot ..... it was the 
COLD snap .... it warmed up and the "problem" went away).    So, I guess when we 
get his teeth cleaned he will get him tacked as well.  And we'll make sure we 
have a good stock of anti gas meds (liquid and pill) and we will watch our 
Snoopy.  

Also, I've been thinking about what Debbie said (what was the same both times) 
and also what happened to Crackers (water!) and I realized that both times 
Snoopy had been playing hard and drinking tons of water.  You see, I really am 
clueless.  Some people limit their dogs water intake at the park and I always 
thought it was mean.  Oh my dog .... I shouldn't let him drink a ton of water 
and then run around and play some more should I??  At home or at the park!!!!   
  

Droolers, you rock!!!  You guys definately saved Snoopy.
