[Dailydrool] Size doesn't matter

[Tim Mayer]

Okay, I suppose in the world of hounds, size doesn't matter much! Remember a
few days ago I mentioned bringing home a stray bloodhound? (If it's not a
bloodhound, it's some kind of big tall hound.) Well, little Dexter hasn't a
clue that he's half the size of this guy.here's a YouTube link to a little
goofing off.

I haven't had any luck finding the owner, so Monday I'll be turning him over
to a nearby rescue shelter that works with a lot of hounds. This
organization, like all the basset hound rescues I know, is going to have him
vetted, checked for heartworm, neutered, microchipped, evaluated, etc., then
adopted out to a family. Believe me, if I had room to keep him, I would.
He's an absolutely wonderful dog. But the mobile home park management would
just freak out with a dog this size.

On a not-so-cheerful note, Maggie d'Earest (my 12 year old) has developed
some serious back pain. I took her to the vet on Thursday and she got a shot
- cortisone, I think. I was really distracted (and in pain myself from
carrying her around - she weighs 63 pounds) and in a panic mode, so I don't
remember for sure. But it didn't help yet. She can hardly get up from laying
down, she can't walk without stumbling, I try to help and she cries out in
pain. And now, tonight she didn't want to eat. That is NOT my Maggie - she's
always been a real chow hound!  I'm so worried. I'll try to have her back at
the vet early Monday morning (unless something good happens before then.)
