I suppose I will have to stop singing Jeff's theme song (If I only had a brain from the wizard of oz).We have a doggy door on our sliding door and because of the way we had to put it in we have to put a stick in the track so that it doesn't open.When the stick isn't there Jeff can get the door open,anyway last night he took the stick out and let himself and the other dogs out as well,luckily it does open to the pen.I had the door closed on the dog door cause they were running in and out barking at nothing. My DH and I are hooked on the phrase Caught in the riptide of lub. It has become so much fun to say only we add pauses,it goes Caught(pause) in the riptide of lub.Of course every time we do it I think of Bev and her DD from a few weeks ago about intelligent people turn into weird people when they close the doors to the world and become basset slaves. Anyway,I am rambling. Snooters and prayers to all, Marty,Mom to Jeffery,Trudy,Mason and Hazel and the 5 c@ts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(I'll try to incorporate the lingo.) I'm a food-slave to two boys, Baxter (11 months) and Boomer (8 months). Boomer was my first, a rescue from a bad living situation. He's much happier and healthier since joining my family four months ago. He told me he wanted a playmate, and wouldn't you know it--Baxter needed a home, too. A family found him wandering in a neighborhood, but they could not locate his owners, so they found me, and he's been with us for 2 months. All's well, and the boys get along great. Now to the problem at hand. Recently, Boomer has taken to ignoring his food--hardly basset-like behavior. They eat in the kitchen from their own stainless-steel bowls. Baxter eats like a champ, but Boomer lays there and grunts. He will eat if I pour the food on the floor or on a paper plate, but even then he only begins once Baxter is finished. Baxter becomes annoyed with Boomer's slowness and often tries to sneak bites from his plate. So 1) What caused this change? and 2) Is it permanent? Drool all around!

Got her out Door was closed from then on - and one time I took Houdini in a cart/carrier into safeway but when I got to checkout a head starting coming out of the carrier which was hidden. Pushed her back and ran like .............. It all happened so quick it was like nothing happened but behind line were a little shocked. Imagine if she'd gotten loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I had an Airedale with the bassets but I was working. Now I'm home and she's 15 plus and no reason to bark cuz Houdini ran away when I moved. The only thing before I had a cat Miss Becky wanted him to run so she could chase him- well Mr. Mow was having no part of that so wouldn't move and Becky would bark at him for hours. We finally separated in different rooms them but not before one day I went home and Miss Becky had this horrific bloody face (still barking tho). Mr. Mow had had quite enough and swatted her a few but still didn't move and was still barking! Then along came Houdini who must have set the rules as to top dog/cat cuz Miss B wouldn't go by her unless I was there. Houdini had the thing about when Miss Becky went by would put her paw gently on her and pet her? and Miss B would very loudly yelp.!!!!!!!!! Amazing Another good news thing from Arkansas is that Richlyn just called (pieced together wires for now) and she has her 96 yearold mom with her during the crisis but the most amazing thing is their new house has power which is downright amazing. Nobody else has power yet. Guess she's being paid back for looking after all those strays down there that pass (they sit outside gate for a day or so) by or are dumped and stay. She even looked after a glacouma one and fixed the eye but he died after a bout with pancreatitis. So she deserves it. She will be unhappy with me for reporting this. The strays she finds a home or they just plain stay. Nobody leaves on their own.. Georgie and Miss Becky -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank You Bob and Thank You to everybody who got some of BobTheDoG magnuts for Valentines! We have a youngster in named Hal who is costin us guys more than usual cause he needs Ivermectin everyday and extra stuff above what a usual rescue dog needs. He is not healthy enough to neuter him yet. We have Vikki, Sandy, and Dr. Marta all workin on this sweetheart. He looks so badd that nobody wants to pet him even at first because of his demodectic mange.... but even though we have all these wonderful people donating time and money he still needs MORE STUFF. So...Bob and furrends and all you good healing drool we can go out and buy his Ivermectin and stuff that adds up money wise to take care of him. lol Like DUCT TAPE! He is going to be looking worse before he looks better because all the little bugs will be dieing that are in his skin and so he will be needing MORE DUCT TAPE! Just was thinkin that maybe somebody might like to hear this HINT on Helping in Rescue?????? Use a tee shirt on them (he is about hairless now on his body) and no Velcro or sewing or gluing is needed...just pull out a long strip of duct tape and duct tape the SHIRT (not the dog!) nicely..just snug so that the shirt fits exactly to just before the wienny/waist.

Every time it eats, plays a lot, or does anything else that could get the pipes started and a few more times for good measure. If you have to take the hound out every hour, just count that as the cost of housebreaking. The interruption will not last forever. As to tying your hound to you, remember that bassets are very low to the ground, and even as pups they can be very powerful. Our Jane could have knocked me off my feet, so I never tried that, but I was very vigilant. I don't remember the age of your dog, but if you hang some bells on your door, a slightly older dog can learn to ring them when the urge comes along. It took our Jane a day to figure that out (but we've had to listen to the bells forever after). Every time your hound does things right, give a REALLY good treat--those dried meat treats would be my choice. When I was training our Jane, really good treats seemed to turn things around. Suddenly she got the idea and it has never faded. She's much better than our boys at not having accidents, and I always claim it's because I trained her. Good training pays off in the long run, though it may be difficult to establish. The only hitch with this plan is that you have to carry treats out with you every time. Don't leave them in your coat pockets and leave your coat where the dog can get it, or your hound will probably chew a hole in your pockets to get them (or maybe you are better at hanging up your coat than I am and have a closet that is not blocked by your outside door!) But remember, bassets can be slow to get the picture. That doesn't necessarily mean you are a failure. Just continue to be patient. Don't yell at the offending hound, since that will just make things worse--the last thing you need is to have the dog get nervous in this situation. A firm "no" is all you really need, though you may feel like screaming. But losing your cool will just show the dog that you are out of control, and he'll be less likely to obey. Persistence and consistency will win the day. Remember that you're dealing with a stubborn basset and be just as stubborn as it is. To keep your mind set on your job, remember that it's going to be easier to train a young dog than an older one. This is your golden opportunity--one that will last a dog's lifetime and will make both your lives much easier. So don't give up.

I don't even know where to start or end to tell you how much this boy means to me. He is the light of my life, the reason I enjoy everyday, and the keeper of my soul. He is a very demanding, energetic, positively a pain in my butt 5 year old. In the picture, he is stretched out between 2 huge dog beds. In fact his brother Rowdy was standing there try to figure out how to step over him, so he could lay down and take a nap. Deuce has mastered slave training down to a science, to the point that you don't even know he has trained you. For example, I take them with me on the weekends to the BF's house, and even there he has mastered the art of slave training. My BF's son and his girlfriend was laying on the couch, and there comes Deuce, who by the way isn't happy unless he is laying on the couch. Well he looks at the corner of the couch, and back at BF's son, and then back at the corner of the couch, and so forth. Well it took all of 30 seconds of his hypnotizing eyes and the BF's son gets up and makes his girlfriend get up and move over and then pats the couch and says, "come on get up here." I just sat there in amazement and watch the whole thing play out. Deuce happily jumps on the couch and goes to sleep, and the son and girlfriend try and rearrange themselves to get comfortable again. I am hopelessly in love with him, and when I think about him and his brother during the day, it's always with a warm heart and smile. They truly have given me so much unconditional love and ask for nothing in return. My life would not be so happy and filled with so much love if I didn't have them, to share it with me.

The owner went to court and had the euthanization order squashed. Brindi is still not home Why I am writing is because after careful consideration and everything I learned I am no longer in favor of this dog going back to her former owner. Not only did the owner state that after the dog is retrained she will let it off leash when the dog was and is under a muzzle order but she compared the SPCA to Germans death camp. Now she later apologized but I felt it was really wrong. The SPCA are only housing the dog, they are not in control of what happens to it. So it gets better I tell the owner I am scared for her health and she should not go on a hunger strike. I am banned immediately and the hate mail to me starts. Rather silly but it did I am a big girl and hit delete So it gets better. The RCMP have had calls the SPCA and its officers have had death threats by Brindi's owners and her many angels. This is what is posted on the SPCA website "News and Announcements February 8, 2009: Please be advised that the Metro Shelter is not closed but has put security measures in place based on threats made to management. The Shelter Management Team has brought in security measures that will keep its staff, volunteers, and potential adopters safe. We still need support from the community in the form of people coming to the shelter to adopt." The animals all suffer I am sure it will scare potential adoptive parents away I joined another group that is for saving the dog and having it rehomed where it does not have to be put down. Hate mail again :0) tis ok I am a big girl anyway I just wanted to drop you all a line so that If you are in that group you know the whole story, you can add me on facebook as Carolyn Clarkson Mitchell The group I fully support is here ( http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/group.php?gid=48634654764 ) Healing drool to all those in need Carolyn Mom to Rex aka LiL Foot LiL Miss Daisy halo and yes I am still fighting to shut down puppy mills in my local area and will keep you all updated Oh and to my Nova Scotia basset lovers check this guy out he is at the shelter and gorgous ( http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=12949933 ) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To: Dailydrool@dailydrool.org Message-ID: <694363.14649.qm@web65510.mail.ac4.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I've been following today's posts about housebreaking. All great advice ... thanks! I'm gonna try the bells at the door, for sure. ? My situation: 6 month old basset (Moses). He knows exactly what to do when taken outside on a potty break. No problem there. He hasn't pooped in the house in months. So, good there as well. But ... he can't seem to latch on to the idea of not peeing in the house. Sometimes he does it right in front of us. Right after he's been outside. And he'll do it anywere ... it's not just in one spot (though he has his favorites). Some days he'll not have an accident ... some days he'll have three or four. ? Is this normal? We keep telling ourselves it will fade as he gets older. Is this true? We sometimes even rationalize it to ourselves ... that cleaning up after him is totally worth the joy he brings us (which is true!). But, it would be nice to not go through a role of paper towls every two days. ? Any thoughts? ? Thanks, Brooke, mommy to Moses ? ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
