<div>My guys drool, but drool more when eating or watching us eat something. They do leave small piles, but on the kitchen floor, it makes it real slick & I have almost fallen or twisted knees, so I always wipe it up. Drool towels are at everyone's chairs and one in every room. Once a week we try to do "drool patrol", wipe it off the wood work & walls. The only time we "duck and cover" is when they sling while we are eating. My oldest is much more "wet mouthed", then the youngest, but they are totally different in confirmation, head & body size ect. I have seen other breeds drool more. They also know to "come and get wiped" whenever they eat or drink.</div>
<div>They are my perpetual toddlers, they will never grow up, it doesn't matter if they drool.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for ticks, those nasty little suckers...they can climb to the top of a blade of grass and throw themselves into the wind and travel a mile that way!!</div>
<div>We use Frontline and cider vinegar & thank God do not have a problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We also give the hounds "Farina" a hot breakfast cereal for minor belly sickness. I know that I shouldn't put alot of sugar in it & make it with milk. But they always eat it and they get better, real quick. No diarrhea from it either.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One more comment---It is always so said to hear about all the babies going to the Bridge----I remember Fey-Fey(what a princess), Woo (a gentle sweet soul), Noah go slowah (the original OBE? and all the other ones, it just breaks our hearts......It is kinda strange, because, with Nugie gone now------we must meet all the new hounds that are "stepping up" to share their lives and stories with us. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The old will not be forgotten, they live in our hearts and are a part of us. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just wish the Bridge would close for awhile---maybe to restock the buffet or something. There seems like soooo many lately.</div>
<div>Heart-felt symathy to ALL that have lost a loving companion and loyal friend. (Sorry we don't post for everyone, it touches our hearts deeply & we have never even met any of these beloved bassets)</div>
