Good morning all, Cyrus reporting.

As you can see from the title, this is definately basset related.  As many of 
you know I am responsible for maintaining order and sanity our home, as well as 
the safety and security of Snoopy inside as well as outside our home.  Whew.  
Last Friday I had my checkup at the vets.  My Dr calls me gorgeous instead of 
Cyrus .... cause I really am all that.  Well, this time she came into the room 
and said WOW, what happened gorgeous, your muzzle is all grey!  Sheesh.  You try 
taking care of Mr Curator of Missing objects!  


It's not enough that when we go to the dog park he has to pick out a rottweiller 
or a doberman or a ridgeback or a pit bull and demand their ball,  No, oh no!  
He has to have "issues."  lf you get too close to his food he talks like an east 
side gang banger .... you've never heard such language ... Snoopy was on the 
streets for a while and OH MY WORD this boy can talk nasty.  And not only that, 
there are occasions when he completely looses his mind and attacks and the 
victum of his assalts winds up COVERED in slick, stringly, slimy drool of the 
11th order.  I know.  It's happened to me more than once.  And now we have this 
young impressionable basset in the house and I have to try to shield him from 
these kinds of things.  Like last night ...

Last night Thor wanted to play.  Well, I was snoozing and Snoopy was snoozing so 
Thor .... well Thor went and grabbed Snoopy's security squirrel.  Now the 
security squirrel is not to be messed with.  He is small and he is furry and 
Snoopy carries him around going squeak, squeak, squeak when he is too wound up 
and needs to calm down.  Nobody is supposed to touch him, he is an emergency 
security squirrel.  So ... Thor grabs him and SQUEAKS him and runs out the dog 
door.  Well, Snoopy let out a SCREAM, you'd have thought Thor had ripped off his 
ear and took off after Thor.  By the time I got out there Snoopy had Thor 
cornered out back and he was talking real nasty and I got over there and got 
between them before the poor little guy got slimed and I told him .... DROP the 
SQUIRREL!  But no, oh no, Thor's over there holding his ground and Snoopy is 
about to explode and I'm telling Thor .... "son, just put down the squirrel and 
nobody is going to get hurt."  FINALLY Thor drops it and Snoopy grabbed it and 
ran in the house and way to the back of the crate with his squirrel and wouldn't 
even come out to go to bed.  The boy has been through a lot, all he wanted was 
his little squirrel for petes sakes.

So, the girls went to bed and momPerson and dadPerson went to bed and I went to 
bed and about 3AM Snoopy was licking momPerson's hand ..... "momPerson, Snoopy 
is too tired and it's too dark, how about you boost your 75 lb basset up on the 
bed."  Ok, so she boosted him and I cuddled him and he was ok now.  In the 
morning we found Thor in a reading chair sound asleep.  Well, Snoopy was fine by 
then so we all played and went potty and ate our breakfast and momPerson was 
getting ready for work and the girls were getting ready for school and I was 
getting ready to go back to bed when Thor came charging to the back of the house 
carrying ..... yup .... Snoopy's squirrel ... with Snoopy in hot pursuit.  Well, 
the boy had a plan.  He jumped up on the bed with dadPerson (where he does NOT 
belong, our bed, not his bed) and Snoopy and I followed him and .... he dropped 
the squirrel at Snoopy's feet and went over and snuggled dadPerson and went to 
sleep.  On OUR bed ... where he does NOT belong.

Oh brother.  Any questions about why I'm going grey?

more later from Cyrus

P.S.  Mr Cooper Sir a while back you posted about a request to be rehomed .... 
how did that work out for you?  Please advise...
