Subject: [Dailydrool] My Hoosier Hound<br>

<br>
I guess it?s official, as of this morning during his annual exam. Young Charlie is now a Hoosier hound with an Indiana rabies tag on his collar.<br>
<br>
The last time he had his rabies vaccination we were living in Nashville, Tennessee. Now we live in the Indianapolis area. The old Tennessee rabies tag is sitting here beside my computer, making me feel sad about yet another small, symbolic leave-taking of a place I hadn?t wanted to leave. While I detest the oppressive, miserable, everlastingly hot summers that begin at the end of April and endure until the middle of October, I made a lot of friends and good memories during the fourteen years I lived there, and I put down deeper roots than I?d realized.<br>
<br>
It?s hard starting over, especially if you?re doing it in a place you didn?t really choose to be. I?m still looking for an adequate replacement for the Nashville Red Rover boarding facility I trust with Charlie?s care. So far I?ve toured five kennels in Indianapolis, and they?ve all come up short. I have a list of about five more to investigate and am not feeling hopeful.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, though, I?ve stumbled upon a vet I feel comfortable with and Charlie appears to like as well. Except when she?s sticking a thermometer where he doesn?t want one stuck, poking him with needles, or forcing an otoscope deep into his ears. But when she?s not doing those things, he thinks she?s a lovely person. I?m pretty sure she wouldn?t choose to have a basset herself, but she seems to appreciate Charlie?s basset-ness and certainly spends a lot of time on the floor doing hands-on physical exams because she clearly finds him gratifying to massage. For this visit I used a magic marker to draw big black Xs on all his lumps. Doing so made me feel like an unsupervised toddler, but it does make locating the lumps a lot quicker and easier for the vet, and the marks wear off eventually.<br>
<br>
This time the vet spent almost as much time listening to Charlie's heart as she did massaging his loose skin. Has anyone told me, she wanted to know, that Charlie has a heart murmur? She?s calling it a grade 1 murmur and said these things happen as dogs get old. (Charlie is now twelve, which is hard to believe.) She?s not too concerned, and we?ll keep an eye on it. If it progresses a grade, then I'll take advantage of Purdue Vet School?s mobile cardiac unit to investigate it further. Boy, has veterinary medicine changed since the last time I lived in Indiana, back in the late 1990s and early 2000s! Back then the state had only a handful of independently practicing specialists, and really the only way to get specialized care was to drive to the vet school. Now veterinary specialists are all over the state, and the vet school even brings some of its services to you.<br>
<br>
The vet said they?re seeing more reactions to rabies and doggy flu vaccinations this year. I wonder if this is just an Indiana thing or if it?s happening nationwide? Since Charlie reacted to the leptospirosis vaccination years ago (his whole head and muzzle swelled up so that all the fur stood straight up like a buzz cut, which would have been adorable had I not been so frightened his throat would be the next thing to swell), she gave him a Benadryl injection before his rabies shot. He?s been sleeping peacefully ever since we got home, and because I?m spending the rest of the day sitting next to him with a full box of Benedryl tablets in my pocket, I?m pretty sure he won?t have a reaction.<br>
<br>
Now to find a place to put his old Tennessee tag. I can?t throw it out. Not just yet.<br>

We have lots of nicknames for our smallish 35 lb. basset girl. Some of these were probably in contrast to our previous basset Zoey (AKA Redmoose, among others.)<br>
<br>
She is Lucylu, Lulu, Lucyswoosh, Swoosh, LittleWittle, Witz, Fastfeet, Tahloolah, Trubs, Lucille (when patience is running out), Prettygirl, Lucylucious, Lucifer, Lula belle. Also, less often, Jellybean (when sleeping), Sweet Petunia, Sugarplum, Skinny Minny (when she goes between a chair and end table where no basset of ours has ever before fit), Shedbucket, Skirt girl (refers to shedding clumps of fur from her hips).<br>
Is it any wonder she often doesn?t come when we call? She has to ponder the request for a while.<br>

The DH works nights. I am in charge of putting everyone to bed at night and making sure that everything is locked up and secure.<br>
<br>
Last night I did my last check on the boys who sleep in the kitchen and went off to bed at 10:30. At 11 I heard the low whine of Duncan. Rambo was already in a frenzy prancing around. My first thought was that we had an intruder because I forgot to check the locks. I turned the corner into the kitchen and saw a bright red sky. Confused I ran out to check what was going on. The house behind us was on fire. Full blown ablaze. As I was gathering my thoughts on what to do first, who to call, and what to pack, when the police knocked the front door and said to evacuate. They were afraid the trees would catch the flames and jump to our house.<br>
<br>
This of course double the urgency to get out. I had to gather leashes, pack up the baby?s food, get the girls and the boys in the car, decide what was essential to take and/or leave behind, and decide where to go. By the time I was ready 45 minutes had passed. I was loading up the boys in the car when the police comes back and says the fire is out, they are just punching holes in the roof to make sure the fire died but we can go back in.<br>
<br>
Moral of the story: Have a emergency plan - have emergency supplies ready to go and in a designated area and always ALWAYS listen to your bassets whine.<br>
<br>

The gunk of the cyst is in a sort of ?sac?. If that sac doesn?t come out along with all the gunk, it will come back. Usually a gentle warm compress or pushing around the hole can get all the gunk out. It might look white, grey or black. It can be smooth and squishy or hard and almost grainy or cottage cheesy in texture. Shave around the hole when it first erupts. A mild soapy wash to follow. Pack the hole with neosporin, Vaseline or another antibiotic ointment. You don?t want this to scab over, if it does, soak the scab off. It needs to heal from the inside out. The hole should remain open and gradually shrink in size. Some other products that help with cleaning/healing are Domeboro (pharmacy), vetericyn spray (amazon or tractor supply stores), chlorhexidine (vet, online)- WAY cheaper if you mix your own from concentrate. A gallon of concentrate is cheaper on Amazon than a 16 ounce bottle costs you somewhere else. Good chance you will never ever use that entire gallon. But it?s still<br>
cheaper. Keep them from being able to lick at the cyst. If it?s not getting better in a few days, then see your vet because antibiotics may be needed. They can have these for years and nothing happens. Or you can have one come up literally overnight and blow. There doesn?t seem to be much rhyme or reason to these cysts.<br>
Peanutty has had 16 of these taken off surgically. She has had some that simply drained and healed.<br>

Poor Millie really got hollered at this morning. ?I was quite ?upset with her. ?She got up at 5:30 AM and went into another room upstairs and peed. ?She did not even try to rouse me(I was up). ?Almost every morning when she gets up she wanders before we go ?out. ?I usually get up and tell her we are going out. ?She has never peed that early in the morning. ?I grabbed her and we went outside even though she was empty. ?I ?have been taking her out more frequently today and things have been OK. ?We even had a serviceman come over and she did not pee. ?I am limiting her water tonight and ?will take her out at 10. ?Tomorrow I will try to ?get her into the vet and see what can be done or what tests can be made to see if she is suffering from something. ?By mid morning I was no longer upset, but still I wish she would have given me a chance to take her out. ?She knows what to do to get my attention in the morning. ?That is why I was upset. ?I do not like limiting her intake, but I am only d<br>
oing it at night. ?She has been just about emptying her water dish, and normally she only drank about half. ?That is why I am worried. ?<br>

I have had only one hound I have a nickname for and that is Millie. ?She is a very slow walker, and does a lot of smelling. ?So I gave her a nickname. ?I named ?her some what after a Afro American actor form the 30's and 40's. ?He was the comic relief in a lot of B movies. ?His name was Step and Fetch It, why I do not know, ?but that was his screen ?name. ?So I adapted it to Millie and call her Step and Sniff It, as it fits her just perfect.<br>

Charlie Basset:<br>
Charles, Charl-less, Charlie Tuna (after the Starkest commercial), Charlie Tuna Pants, Chuckles, Chuckle Pants, My Chuckle Boy, Stunt-Dog Charlie, Charley-Barley Basset Boy, Charlie Dammit, and Charlie My Darlin?<br>
<br>
Then there?s my mother?s little chihuahua mix, Molly, who now lives with us:<br>
Mighty Mouth (because she barks a lot), Twinkle Toes, Tina Turner and Twisted Sister (because she makes tight left turns when she?s anxious, and when she does it on a leash it twists the leash up), and The Wee One (she?s just seven pounds)<br>
<br>
This thread on nicknames reminds me again of how much I miss calling the hounds who?ve gone on the pet names I had for them. Without our Elsinore Basset here with us anymore, I?m no longer calling for Elsa B., Ella B., El Snora, or Elsa de Nore. With our Jane, our first basset, quite long gone, there?s no one to call my Baby Basset, Boo-Boo Basset, or Lady Jane Basset. When the hound dies, all our loving pet names die with them, never more to be used. It?s been nice to have this thread so that some of those endearments can be be revived, if only for a moment.<br>

Subject: [Dailydrool] Young Charlie is no longer alone, but he's still<br>
an only basset<br>

Our Elsinore Basset died of old age and cancer on July 16, 2015. As her chiropractor puts it, ?She was a pistol, all right.? And as much as bassets with strong personalities can make a person want to bang her head against a wall sometimes, their absence is truly felt when they?re really gone for real in the end.<br>
<br>
Except young Charlie hasn?t seemed to miss her at all. In fact, from the time we left her body at the crematorium he?d been giving every impression of enjoying being an only dog and basking in my undivided attention and adoration. I?m not sure how I feel about this. I?m a little sad he doesn?t seem to miss her, and I?m also relieved he?s been spared the sadness of grieving her loss.<br>
<br>
But then my eighty-plus-year-old mother, who?s long had a propensity for falling, began falling even more frequently. She lives in a retirement community, which, if you?re going to be falling a lot, is a pretty good place to do it because they have people there who know how to pick you back up again. My mother does not believe in doing any kind of physical exercise unless a doctor prescribes it as physical therapy, which doesn?t happen often enough to help her build or retain any upper or lower body strength. So once she?s down, she?s down until someone can return her to an upright position. And a surefire way to get to her fall down is to put her in the position of having to bend over to do something, like put a leash on a tiny dog or refill a water bowl.<br>
<br>
My mother has a tiny dog because of me. After my late father?s Jack Russell Terror (that is not a typo) finally died of old age, my mother was lonely and wanted another dog. Specifically another small terrier like Daisy because she can pick them up and ?I like their spirit." She and Dad were the only ones who liked Daisy and her spirit, the only dog, I?m sorry to say, I haven?t missed once since her death. When my mother began telling me she was thinking about going to the pound and picking out another dog like Daisy, I panicked. Thirteen years of Daisy had been a very long thirteen years for me.<br>
<br>
So I started looking at various rescue groups for a small dog with no terrier tendencies, which isn?t easy since most small dogs are in the terrier family and my mother was adamant about not wanting a beagle. But eventually I found one, an overweight twelve-pound chihuahua mix whose owner had been leaving her with his elderly mother while he worked, until his mother wasn?t up for it anymore. Wee Molly went from one old lady?s lap to another like a pro, which of course she was since she?d been sitting on an old lady?s lap from the time she was a pup.<br>
<br>
Fast forward five years, the summer before last, and Molly wore out her second old lady, my mother. Apparently the now-seven-pound Molly had jerked on her leash after a squirrel and managed to pull my considerably heavier but badly balanced mother over. My mother wouldn?t tell me how long she?d been down before another resident?s visitor heard her and went for help, but it was long enough for my mother to have time to reflect on the wisdom of future dog ownership. She called me that afternoon, still shaken from her fall, and asked if I?d take Molly.<br>
<br>
I?d been expecting this call, which is why I?d spent so much time talking with the rescue group about Molly?s personality traits before I ever mentioned her to my mother. I cannot live with a terrier. They set my teeth on edge. I knew the odds were good that Molly would eventually end up with me. I just didn?t expect it to happen so soon.<br>
<br>
So now Charlie has a tiny companion. Only she?s not a companion. She doesn?t snuggle with him, won?t play with him, and is only actively interested in him when he has food. Charlie has been disappointed about this, especially her refusal to play even when he asks her so beguilingly, but he?s accepted her presence in our home with admirable good grace. The two dogs live parallel but very separate lives in this house, pretty much ignoring each other. Which is a whole lot better than them hating each other so much they want to rip each other?s face off.<br>
<br>
Molly is disappointed in me. I am not an old lady who wants to sit on a recliner with a purse-sized dog on my lap all day. For my part, I?m learning how to live with a little dog despite the fact that I am most definitely not a little-dog person. I?m so used to having dogs who see the world through their noses. Molly sees it through her ears. And then has to comment loudly on it. Her voice is not a mellifluous hound?s voice. But we?re adjusting to each other?s less-than-appealing characteristics, and my easily toppled mother is happy to be able to have periodic visits from Molly without the responsibility of caring for her anymore.<br>
