<div dir="ltr"><div>I must admit that I love nylabone. As a basset slave, I do not mean that I have placed the products in my mouth or anything weird like that. I went out of my way today to go buy some new toys for the 3 hounds. Notice that I said 3 when I have 4 hounds. The eldest basset, Maggie, will be 9 years old in less then 2 months. Everyone was so excited when I started opening toys. I would toss it on the ground and a hound would run up and take off. I came to the nylabone liver chewie and I went to hand it to Cooper and someone ran forward and snatched it between their teeth and took off. I was dumbfounded. It was Maggie! She does not play with toys. If she finds that she grabs a toy when she is excited running around, she will spit it out. She detests toys, even as a puppy. First I thought it was the liver scent or flavor that had her come running. Then, I came to the corn on the cob chewie and Maggie ran up and I handed it out and she put her mouth around it and trotted her fluffy butt right away. Of course I didn't have my camera ready as I was dealing with another mini crisis around here.</div>

<div>That brings me to my next subject. The youngest slave could use some drool. My 9 year old son came down with a very high temperature today. I was frantic trying to bring it down. I got it down to 103 axillary temp. That is still too high for my liking. I did the cool bath, fluids, light clothing (just boxers), bathtub, etc. I even called the nurse hotline for our insurance company. The issue is that a high temp. makes him breathe heavier and he already has asthma. Anyhow, just well wishes if you please to the basset snuggling boy.</div>
