<DIV>We are back! It waz sure fun! Me,Tallulah, and my best furrend playing
buddy Stuie all went frum the Basset Rescue of Puget Sound. Stuie n me wanted to
eat up the "Bully Stix" frum the Raffle Basket but it turned out that Janice
Colvin's Cousin won it so that is good that we minded our manners and didn't
hogg the Bully Stix up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, we were riding along down South I-5 and the roof..the whole Roof of a
trailer blew off the careening trailer and we all watched it happen and Aunty
Patty dodged the HUGE entire ceiling of a trailer as it bounced along the
freeway right in front of us!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We were all Thankful to be alive that's for sure! Anyhow we Waddled at the
Oregon Basset Rescues Waddle. Waddling with the Mayors dogs too! that was fun
because her boy dog is about the most handsome dog in the world and her girl dog
is the most oldest cutest little old rescue girl that ever rode in a wagon.
Anyhow we waddled and waddled all around the Woodburn Mall and then...THEN we
went SHOPPING at the pet store there everything was 50% off! Weeee the whole
store was filled with waddle-ee's. Mostly doing "Flat Basset" though me 'n this
odder guy we did some dueling Bang Bang Dead Basset tricks and got reailly wore
out and reilly reilly had to lie down on the cool cement floor a LOT and we sure
loved making the people laugh who were in that fun store. We all got lots of
toys. Chickies for Stuies family and Tallulah got her Gus a Birfday shirt for
his biG PAWTY coming up soon!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then we went to the BBQ and there was this biGG corral of Basset Hounds and
we all barked, howled, played or flopped down while the humans had delish
dinners of burgers, BBQ shish kabobs and Homemade tasting salads like Mom used
to make. Mmmm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our fearless leader Bob the doG who was there and got a cool basket of
stuff with his fambly (I am in LOVE with his Jazzy 'n my Momma went nutsy for
her too...soooo smooshy a beautiful huggable houndie!Jazzy of stellar beauty and
Bassetty charm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So it was a little embarsein my Mom could'nt take her big paws offa petting
that Jazzy girl..but THEN we took off down the road to Aunty Elke's
and Uncle Richard's Basset Bed 'n Breakfast and played and played in their fun
yard making everybody smile and laugh some more. They have so much fun watching
us and sippin Sangria cooling off on the 90* sunny day!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then the next day the fun really was happnin because there was this MAZE
thing to navigate (Stuie ALMOST made it to Placing in the ribbons but his time
was too slow 'cause he figured out a New and different way to go Around and
through one part of the maze (sideways moving the maze then Backwards
through a long windy tube) (my Buddy Stuie is talented and
ingenius but his plan for getting throgh the maze took a few seconds longer
going his creative way through! Too bad it made him seconds slower but he
was so brave! Yay and he got his lemon nilla wafer cookies too! Stuie saz
how he LOVES lemon Nilla wafers! lol Tallulah didn't go for the Maze but
she sure was the most beuteeful mermaid ever! I gotta wear the octopus suit and
Stuie a Sea Serpent! 3 Under-the-sea . </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everybody was a winner costume but the winners for the costume contest were
4 Prisioners in black and white Jail suits AND a rolling JAIL with a fine old
"Most Wanted" Foster Failure old beautiful Basset who won First Place and the
King and Queen of Norway won 2nd and a beautiful Hawaiian Girl! My
favorite favorite was the Covered Westward Ho wagon!!! lol Alll the costume
contestants were fab! You shouldda seen the gold fish...lushious bubble eye
swishy gold fish! Wonderful! ALL of the costumes were wonderful!</DIV>
<DIV>All the costumes were so fun and the games too. Stuie also almost finished
first in the Synchronized Swimming Contest and I ALMOST got first place in the
longest ears contest. We had so much fun!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My earpans getting shorter 'cause of me having my brains arriving at my 2nd
Birfday and me bein so much smarter like Stuie and Tallulah now cause we all
have our CGC (Canine Good Citizen) AND our k9 Camp LLC Certificate of Training
for Clicker Training & Tricks Class so my ears measuredf in shorter!
lol</DIV>
<DIV>(we all took that class from Claudia at "Bow Wow Towne"..anyhow my Mom said
maybe my Ears got shorter because my head filled up really big with
smarts and yes my pointy head got more fuller it probably shortened my
ears.Real funny Mom..ha ha ha I forgot to laff. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We got back to E & R's Baseet Bed & Breakfast and played some more
and then they took off and left us back at "E & R's B&B" where it was
kool. They went to a Chicken n Dumplings Resturant on the river and brouht us
home a chicken dumpling to share! Mmm</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next morning Stuie found a board in the fence and worked it out at the
bottom wif his big nose and so he disapeared next door visiting the neighbors
barky Doxie. Tallulah and me we could'nt fit through but it was still pretty fun
and exciting when all the hoomans ran around like crazed nutheads in their PJ's
looking for Stuie who had slipped next door and was missing for 5 minutes.
Wow..hoomans sure get eggcited sometimes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you could you shold go next year if you culd to the Oregon Baset Games
cause it was an easy going fun time with friendly people and Hounds. Not one Grr
and yes lots and lots of smiles and areally fun fun fun time!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well I gotta go now and play with some of my new 50% off toys. Gee I
heard my hooman telling my odder human the NEXT year we R brinin MORE MONEY for
da good Raffle Baskets Tickets for Rescue and for the 50% off store! They were
reilly nice folks there too. They laughed at us all flopping around on the cool
floor of the huge jammed with every doggy thing under the sun store.
