[Dailydrool] Dailydrool Digest, Vol 320, Issue 5

Wed May 21 19:31:29 PDT 2014

Dear Basset Lovers,

I have been trying to get a nice Basset Hound article written in Modern Dog Magazine for years.  Aren't you tired of people asking you "what kind of dog is that?' or "is that a bloodhound?" As Basset owners & lovers, we know that Bassets are the greatest!  The magazine is having a contest at moderndogmagazine.com/coverdog that runs until July 2, 2014. The dog with the most votes will get to be on the cover of an issue of the magazine. The attached photo of Sherlock has been entered.  If we all vote for him once a day, he will have a chance to represent all Basset Hounds.  Please vote so we can remind the dog lovers of the world that Basset Hounds should be ranked as a top breed and when we walk down the street everyone says "what a gorgeous Basset Hound!"  
XOXO,
Sherlock

The following has been translated to avoid the dreaded "autocorrect",
grammar, is not corrected..

Gallagher:  I like bunnies.  They is very tasty.  I caught one once.  Then
last year, MacKenzie and Guinness each caught one (babies they was).  I
didn't get one and I WANT one.  So every day I on the lookout for bunnies.
Last week we was walking the slaves on those long leash things and a BIG
BUNNY run right in front of ME ME ME.  I took off faster than one of those
skinny tall hounds.  All 80 pounds of muscle, I took off so fast do about a
zillion miles an hour, that the leash thing came right out of the mom
slaves hands.  I ran into the big forest.  [slave: please note the big
forest is about 30 feet deep and runs between a big path and a busy road.
It is nearly impassable with trees, bushes and vines.]  The bunny used its
magic powers to hide from me.  but the big red leash got caught.  Mom was
calling me back.  I couldn't get there.  I was stuck.  Now, the mom slave
is not a small woman.  She had to come into the scary forest to save me.
Under the bush, over the vine, looking for scary snakes, but she brave and
come.  She got the red leash thing and lifted it so that I could come to
her.  She saved me. (and the bunny).

Mulligan: I wants a snake.  In that same path we come across a GIANT snake
with a big funny shaped head.  Momma screamed.  "Oh Sh##, it's a
copperhead".  She and Daddy pulled us away, but I was ready.  I dug my
beautifully groomed toe bones into the dirt and pulled the Daddy.  I'm a
dainty girl and just couldn't get the snake.  You knows that those snakes
pretend they are sticks.  So I get all the sticks and shake them to make
sure.  Then when I go to bed, I make sure there are no snakes in my bed.

Guinness: The dreaded horse fly is everywhere.  He wants to eat me.  Ooops
there he goes again.  And over there.  Oh no, he's on my butt.

MacKenzie:  See what I have to put up with!

All of our Bassets (and Basset-mixes) have liked chomping ice cubes to a 
greater or lesser degree. Misty is especially fond of ice -- she is 
instantly at my side whenever she hears me at the fridge door.

Misty is also addicted to eating paper napkins and paper towels and the 
occasional sheet of plain paper (which always has notes on it that I 
MUST keep).  And between she and the two Maine Coon kitties no cardboard 
box is safe. The cats don't eat the cardboard, just rip pieces off. 
Misty does eat the cardboard though. Makes for interesting poop in the 
backyard.

Bonejour everybuddy, tis moi, VENUS, from across the Pond, in France.

Polly introduced me the other day and I would just like to say a big thank you for the warm welcome AND my very own Limerick !!!! 

(Polly- nope, you share that with me and my big sis Penny ATB). Whatever ...

Well, I am now settled in here, I think. Later da new mum is taking me to get de-stitched, so then I'll be all brand new!  It's taken a while to get used to this place. Before, I had a garden and c at ts to play with. I like cats but the ones here don't like me <sigh>  I keep trying to play with all the dogs in the woods, when we go every morning, but they won't play with me!  No fun grrrrrrrrrr!

I must be making progress because da new mum lets me off the leash now, in the woods, and so far I have behaved really well.  I do have a slight hearing problem, but no worries, I am a basset, after all!  Food's good here, but there's not enough of it. I try to help myself - to save da NM getting up but she doesn't seem to appreciate my efforts <sigh>

Polly's OK but she's not much fun, she doesn't play and she's always out of breath.  She has one very big advantage - she rarely finishes her bowl :)  So, I have found a way to make myself useful - I clean her bowl (and her cage - she's a rather messy eater). So, I think they are all very happy that I am here.

Oh yes, a couple of things they need to get used to - I DROOL (copiously) and I bark !!!!  Apparently Polly, Penny and Misty are/were not barkers.

Anyway, it's nice to be here and rest assured I will be sending you all my drool over for the needy hounds.

Take care,

Lurps

Been reading the past few days about the lack of "stories" on the Drool.  It made me think about all the silly things our bassets, Tucker and Philby, did to entertain us.  We are still "basset-less" - we have been going through some big changes here - my husband's job "ends" this Friday and my mother just passed after being quite ill for a few months.  I'm sure we will get another fur-baby, but we're just waiting until the dust settles.

Speaking of the dust settling - I vacuumed yeterday.  We have a Dyson with the clear "windtunnel".  I am absolutely amazed at the difference in the volume of gunk in the "tunnel" since we have been dogless.  Even when we just had one dog, the amount of debris was amazing - the little "tunnel" was 75% full every time I vacuumed.  Now, there is just a little lump of debris at the bottom of the "tunnel".  And we still have two cats!  I didn't realize that bassets produced so much dander!

On another subject - odd things our bassets loved to eat - or, in this case, hated to eat - both of our boys hated the little meat-like chunks that contained their heartworm meds.  I think I had the only two dogs on the face of the earth that would either chew the chunks briefly, then spit them out all slimy, or just refuse to eat them.  The only way I could get Tucker to eat them was to cut them up into little morsels and stir them up into either peanut butter or spaghetti sauce.  Then I would feed it to him with a spoon.

I still miss my boys and look forward to the time when we'll be able to get another basset.  I'm sure we will be getting another rescue. Thinking about looking at a little girl this time - any opinions?

Dis is Pebbles the Nurse. It is no fun being a nurse and hard work. I am
being unappreciated and neglected. The slave refuses to share any of the
food she is delivered and refuses to take me for walkies. And to make
matters worse she is dangerous when she uses her walkie thingie. She almost
runned over me with it when I wouldn't move.  I being good watch dog and I
snuggle with her on the couch with the new knee hurts. She doing better and
started something called PT on Monday. She not happy when she come home and
says the knee very unhappy. Suzie kept telling her bend, bend. BEND IT MORE!
She is getting very bored but don't know what to do with herself. To make
matters worse all these peoples keep coming over and disturbing my much
needed rest. But I am hanging in there. She is my slave after all. It is
also tiring because now I have a bunch of new slaves to train. They be much
more trainable that the momma.

This is the slave. The new part of my knee was 1 week old yesterday and I am
coming along just fine. Needed to get the incision looked at yesterday and
it is healing nicely. The pain and cramping are slowly subsiding but the PT
was hard and riled things back up. Pebbles is being as good as she can be
although by now she should know I can't take her out for walks. She is going
to be horribly spoiled by the time I am back to where I need no help with
her . She is getting nice walks every two hours and any time someone comes
over she demands they take her out and she is getting her way. I do have to
protect the knee when she is on the couch to keep her off of it. She managed
to put the full weight of 1 huge paw on it the other day before I could push
her away. She has Trish (the neighbor walking her) trained to give her a
treat after every walk. They say the first two weeks are the hardest and
then it gets better. The drugs aren't too bad and I noticed the other day
that I have not had any migraines or allergy problems since the surgery
which is odd because pollen is bad now and all my bad trees are in bloom. I
decided to check out the muscle relaxant medication and found out it is an
antihistamine. I am going to check with my doctor about getting a
prescription for it. In the last week I should have had 2-3 headaches or
more or one continuous one. I am feeling well enough that I wasn't to do
things but still have to take it a bit easy

I too have noticed a difference with postings to the Drool. I don't post
nearly as much as I did with Maggie because Pebbles is a bit better behaved
and Maggie trained me well. She is a big goofball but it is hard to write
funny stories and her full body communications and her constantly
rearranging the pillows on the couch. I know a lot of the Droolers and
hounds that posted before are gone to the bridge. That means others will
need to step up to the plate and possibly post on the Drool what they also
post on FB - some do and some don't. I will try to be better about it.

Thank you for all the drool. Pebbles is sending drool to all that need it be
that 2 or 4 leggers. Heart healing drool to all that have lost their babies.
It does get easier over time , especially with the help of another Basset.

pouting because her Auntie Trish didn't give an after walk treat and Maggie

Our Bona has been slowing down a lot in the last couple of weeks.  She has
gotten very picky about eating and this morning and last night, did not eat.
We tried many different things but she was just not interested.  Pills have
been being forced down her since she will no longer take them in her regular
cream cheese spread, or any other spread I try.   I cannot fight her to live
any longer and we will let her leave for the Bridge this evening to join up
with the Kitchen Beagle Brigade.  I know once there, her love of food will
be in its glory, as will she.  

Bona became the Bounder Book Club president after proving she loved to
devour paperbacks.   We would buy paperbacks at yard sales specifically to
give to her.  The last year, her desire for trash novels waned and we knew
that was a sign of her aging.  

Bona also had 2 bowel obstruction surgeries for eating foreign objects.  One
being a kitchen towel, and the second being a cloth bag with a drawstring.
I told her after the 2nd one in 8 months, that was it.  Next time she would
not be so lucky.  She must have listened as she never tried eating any more
foreign objects.  Only takes 12+ years to get a Beagle to listen to you.

Bona was always the sweetest old gal, never once heard her growl or saw any
aggression towards another dog.  Pat and I will miss her terribly.

Many Bounders are waiting for her journey,  I am grateful for this and for
the chance to love this littlest of Beagles.

Drool to all,

Wen, Pat and the Bounders

Well, it happened. I knew it would. The mom left early in the morning. She
got home at 2:00. Then she ran around doing things and Bugsey didn't get
his mommy lap time. Dad came home and didn't love on him first.

Let's just say he went to jail for a little while. Then the mom and dad
decided he could come out. He went balistic again. So Beauford and I went
outside to play and they let Bugsey out again. Then he was fine after he
got his lap time. And they make fun of me for being a Fairy Princess, but
he is apparently a Big Momma's Boy.

Well I went to the vet again. Of course I was as sweet as can be, all the vet staff were smitten and kept telling momslabe what a sweetheart I was. Well if course, what else would I be. Nevermind the fact that as soon as I went home I discovered momslabe made pot roast and left it at the edge of the counter. So well momslabe and the tiny 2 legged foster that momslabe says isn't a foster were petting Dumbo, errr... Rambo, I did a little counter surfing. Hey I'm old but I'm still an OEBE. Momslabe was shocked. Counter cursing isn't really in my MO. But I have to keep momslabe on her toes.

Ah, forgot how good it feels to be an OEBE.

Dear Sally,
I'm so sorry for your loss of Pixel. She sounds like she was a real trooper and a lovely companion. Our own Basset boy, Bobo, is 13 now. One thing about having a senior dog; it really focuses your attention on the importance of your time with them. The Kipling quote is absolutely true. But they're worth it. Take care.

Hi all, 

Just wanted to say my hounds also LOVE ice.  We've moved from cubes to
crushed, as they are getting up there in years and we don't need a cracked
tooth, but we can't deprive them of one of their favorite treats.  Cocktail
time at the Wilson house brings both the basset and the harrier running once
they hear the magical sound of the icemaker!  

On the topic of the Drool not being the same, I think Diane said it
perfectly: we all miss Debbie and Elder Clara and Brudder Elwood and the
gang.  Some people are just great writers, and Debbie was among the most
entertaining.  Here's hoping that we can all carry on in her honor by
sharing some "tails" of our own bassets' adventures, even if we can't match
the LOL stories she told.  I think we're off to a great start with Val's
limericks - those are pretty darned entertaining!

Slurps to all in need,

Kathy Wilson, Twinkletoes, Hooter the harrier, and Moose (ATB)

Rupert was found wandering the streets of San Diego, near the Mexico
border. He was extremely skinny and ill with a blood infection. The vets
initially estimated him to be somewhere around 10 years old based on his
appearance. A woman who ran a doggy daycare pulled him from the shelter and
began nursing him back to health, with her own money and donations from
clients at the doggy daycare.

On April 12, 2008, I saw Rupert in San Diego at an all-breed dog event,
called Woofstock, that I was attending with my 2 y/o hound, Cowboy.
Rupertwas a skinny red and white hound, wearing an "
Adopt Me" vest. Cowboy and I stopped to chat with the handler and
Rupertwarmed up to me immediately. I called the DH, James, on the
spot, informing
him that there was a basset hound here for adoption. He firmly instructed
me to head home and that I better only come back with the one dog that I
left with.

For the next 6 weeks I pestered James about sweet old Rupert, and checked
the doggy daycare blog for status updates on his adoption. At the time, we
had a brother and brother's dog living with us and it just didn't work to
bring in a new hound. Over the 6-week period the brother and dog decided to
moved out and we finally decided to consider getting Cowboy a friend.
Finally James and I agreed that we'd go meet Rupert one evening after work.

May 21, 2008 came and I could not contain my excitement. I knew that if I
could drag James down to the daycare to meet Rupert, he too would fall in
love and let me bring Ru home. I arranged to get off work early that day,
pick up Cowboy and James, and head down to meet Rupert. Upon getting off
work, I called the daycare to give them a heads up that we were coming but
I was stunned when they informed me that Rupert had been adopted earlier
that morning. Devastated, I called James in tears. He reassured me that
there would be another dog that needed a home and told me to come home. I
was happy Rupert had found a home, but was so upset that it wasn't ours.
After weeks of watching, I was just a few hours late on adopting the sweet
red boy. After pulling into the driveway, I opened our front door, and
there on my couch sat a big red hound.

Apparently while I was at work, James secretly took Cowboy to meet
Rupertthat morning and fell in love. The rest, as they say, is
history. Today
we celebrate Rupert's 6 year gotcha day and he truly has fit into our
family so well. We love the big red bozo with all our hearts!

Drool to all,
Kacy with Cowboy and Rupert
