<p>RE:: Marty with the bad week and to all Daily Drool readers..<br>My Lord! I just read about your week with your two Bassets and the Cockers.<br>I have had both in my life, I have a 5 month old Basset now, my very first (<br>
and last). I have been working to make her house worthy.. but after I read<br>your notes I don't feel so bad!</p>
<p>Marty, didn't it occur to you to kick them all out of the house this past<br>week? it is summer, they can play outside and knock off the rowdiness inside!<br>Daisy has a fenced grass yard, shade trees and a well built, insulated dog<br>
house outside.<br>she also has her own pool to play in and loves it so I don't feel bad when I<br>put her out. she is in and out during the day depending on her behavior.</p>
<p>I also didn't know trimming nails was such a big deal until I was reading<br>today's Drool. big deal, she was at the vet's for spaying last week and he<br>trimmed her nails in less than 20 seconds . I never thought a thing about it<br>
nor did she, apparently. sometimes ignorance IS bliss!</p>
<p>The old Cocker we had, Ed, was house broken in all ways by the time he was<br>this dog's( Daisy Sue) age but I see the Basset doesn't want to adhere to the<br>house rules very quickly. she is potty trained but it will be a long damned<br>
winter for her if she doesn't get her manners down this summer. we live in<br>Colorado, it gets very cold and snowy here!</p>
<p>She goes after Muffin, a 13 yr old Himalayan cat but that is to be expected,<br>I just put the cat on my high bed and shut the door to Daisy. if she starts<br>racing thru the house, she goes back out. she is getting the picture better<br>
these days</p>
<p>We walk 1 mile in the mornings, she races thru the edges of the prairie here<br>on a 16' retractable leash, it is so easy to use. I give her her head most<br>of the time unless a car is coming, then I shorten it to my side. she loves the<br>
fresh dirt, races like a pony thru it, galloping till she is exhausted.<br>good! then we take another 1 mile walk in the late afternoon or early evening,<br>she does the same thing. by 7pm she is in her kennel bed ( in kitchen ) with<br>
the gate shut. she sleeps all night till I let her out at 6am again. she has<br>never said a word after being put to bed,</p>
<p>I read the Daily Drool and wonder what on earth is going on with so many<br>folks and their Bassets! seems like all sorts of huge problems arise but I am<br>not going to those places with Daisy. I am not her slave, she is a dog and I<br>
love her, take good care of her but she is still a DOG! Out if you cant<br>behave, In when you can. maybe some of you can simplify your problems by<br>remembering these are dogs, not children. I don't know.. I just know this dog isn't<br>
going to run my house or my life. period. happy days with your puppies , to all<br>of you! Suzan Pulsifer, Pueblo West, Colorado <a href="mailto:_Suzabells@aol.com">_Suzabells@aol.com</a>_<br>(<a href="mailto:Suzabells@aol.com">mailto:Suzabells@aol.com</a>)<br clear="all">
