1. $5 Friday for December (Donna Lindy)
2. Annual Turkey Story (Angelika)
$5 Friday is coming up next week on December 3rd. This month we are helping 3 rescues: New England BHR, North Texas BHR and BR of Puget Sound. We really need a good month since we do have 3 rescues and to close out the year.
Our goal is $6000; this would put us at $70,565 raised for 2021 for seniors in rescue! It’s amazing how the basset community has responded to our fundraisers this year - we are so pleased that we’ve been able to provide some relief to these rescues since most of their bigger fundraisers could not be held again this year.
If you can donate, please send via PayPal to debbiesdawgs at icloud.com or send a check to Debbie’s Dawgs c/o Marci Thomas, 3906 W Vasconia St. Tampa FL 33629. No donation is too small - as you can see, it all adds up!
Debbie Winchester continues to be in so many of our hearts. We are so thankful that she brought attention to the seniors and that our basset rescues do not hesitate to take them in, no matter what their issues. As Debbie would say, Don’t Stop Believing - we can all help in some way, we can all be a part of the solution.
Please join us in making it a happy holiday season for these 3 rescues!
Thank you,
Donna, drool fueler for no one these days but forever missingChuck, Bob, Dudley, Pauline, Elmo, Gracie, Bosley, Sunny, YaYa and Maggie all atb
P.S. If you think $6000 is optimistic, we have surpassed that amount 4 times this year and raised $6800 last month! Do help us get there!

Enjoy!
Ahrooos everyone! Beth asked us to post about Annie's first Thanksgiving with us last year. Anastasia (Annie) is an Ohio Basset Rescue dog; her gotcha day was May 2, 1999 (BIG thank you OBR!), and she was 10 months old when we rescued her. On with the story .
We invited several guests for Thanksgiving last year. I was putting the final touches on the table and had just pulled the turkey out of the oven. It was a gorgeous bird-in fact, the best job I've ever done, if I do say so myself! I placed the turkey on the table and was finishing last-minute preparations when the doorbell rang. My hubby (football addict) was glued to the TV. I got his attention, after repeated fake emergencies (house is on fire, etc.), leaving strict instructions to guard the bird with his life while I answered the door, just in case our little Annie got curious. Annie was behaving so well. She lay on the floor, sleeping amid all the commotion and wonderful smells.
I answered the door and greeted the guests, and as we were approaching the dining room, we heard the strangest noises. "THUD, MARF! THUMP, MARF, BANG!" We entered the dining room to find my husband jumping up and down because his team scored a touchdown and Annie running up and down the hallway with the turkey on her head, wings a flappin' and stuffing a flyin'. The more she ran, the faster the turkey wings flapped. Her bark from beneath the turkey was a muffled "MARF! MARF!" She was running into the walls and doors trying to escape this big monster on her poor head. I doubled over with laughter, slid down the wall holding my sides, and my hubby actually joined me, tearing himself away from his game. I wrestled Annie to the ground, removed that mean old turkey, and all we could see were her beautiful brown eyes staring at us from beneath the stuffing, which was caked on her face and coming out of her ears and onto the floor. I cleaned her up, still crying from laughter while Annie was trying to attack the turkey on the counter for trying to eat her. The guests were not amused. We dined at a local restaurant, and Annie got to eat some healthy slices of turkey before I tossed it in the trash. I cleaned stuffing from her ears for weeks and still have turkey grease spots on the walls and doors. I hope this Thanksgiving is a little less traumatic for our little girl. Maybe we'll just go to a restaurant this year. Happy Turkey Day everyone!
