[Dailydrool] a week later: Another Mt. Moment

[Leslie]

well things are kinda settlin down now.   Best thing ever is we have 
another great webmaster Esther who is a Godsend to help us keep our 
website current.
The house is much warmer now with a full tank (well only 80 % of a 500 
gal. tank).  I wish they would fill it totally but guess that is not how 
they do it.  Guess there needs to be room in tank for ? air?   .  I do 
not question safety reasons.  The blanket is draped over the old curtain 
rod way up high so our living room glass sliders stay a bit more warmer 
now.  I have towels taped to sliders hanging over the doggie door to 
prevent drafts.  The basset know how to use it.
This week presents much warmer temps.  It was 40 degrees yesterday and 
omg was it nice.  This morning it is raining.....and when it freezes at 
night that is when one needs cleats to walk over the ice.
2 nights ago a pack of coyotes were right in my back meadow.   The 
bassets go nuts!!  I block off their doggie door as in no way would I 
want one of them ..coyotes.... jumping my fences to get a basset for 
dinner.   no no no.
I am prepared with Mr. Smith and Wesson.......to never allow any harm to 
come to any of my babies out here in the country.   I keep a tight watch 
on everyone.
When a wildcat comes thru....my horses ears tell me.  So, all in all the 
ranch is so much better now.    A volunteer new to us is coming out 
today to help me get 2 bassets in to be groomed.   yep, they are gettin 
stinky!!!  I have been washing lots of bed covers for them.
Dudley will need a cyst removed from his rump and PSmitty will need to 
have his muzzle and molar looked at cause the protrusion on his snoot 
worries me.
He has the worst set of teeth ..........12 were already removed when he 
came into rescue. /all of this getting done thanks to all of you who so 
graciously donated to help the shelter.  THANK YOU MANY TIMES OVER.   I 
KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET TO EACH EMAIL AND THANK YOU BUT PLEASE 
KNOW I AM DOING IT RIGHT NOW HERE./

All this going on here in Mt. is hardly much when you think about what 
is happening in the South.   People without elec.t.   food, trees coming 
down on cars and prop. due to ice and all the cars left on the major 
hiways...... those people that cannot get home....  i think omg what 
about all their dogs, cats, birds, etc that are there without 
food/water/ etc.....I stress over all that happening there.   We have a 
food supply here, water bottled up for emerg. and huge duffle bag full 
of necessities.........and for winter Basset Rescue of MT. keeps 
sleeping bag, water/bowls, kibble, emerg. kit, flashlite, cat liter to 
help wheels get out of an ice jam.........etc.   in truck/car.

Still wrapping thumb.   Its always something as you who have many 
critters know just what i mean.  Thank you Chris Bly for all you are 
doing to help me get past this eventful time.  Never thought I would say 
this... but BRING ON SPRING.
