Birthday/ Gottcha days...

   Today August 9th 2012 is sister Ellie Mae's Birthday/ Gottcha day, it was four years ago today the she came to be with us If you have a moment I will tell you how this came to be.....
  Dad and his Mom my Grandma (human) were down stairs very early drinking coffee, well Dad needed a refill on his coffee so up stairs to the kitchen they came Dad looked out the big glass door onto the deck and there stood a very very skinny Basset hound looking in the door...... Dad being the Basset lover he is went outside to check her out, she did have a collar but no tag and she was very hungry and thirsty. So Dad and Grandma got her some food and water they set the bowls on the deck and this skinny hound went head long into the food and water!!! 
   Dad went back in the house and got Mom and told her about the hound on the deck, Mom came down and took a look and that was that. A call to the vet and Ellie was on her way for a check up and a check for a chip.... Health was good (skinny but fine) and no micro chip.... An add was put in the local paper and after a week Ellie Mae became an official member of the family!!!
   After four years Ellie is no longer skinny and she has really fit in so very well here at home I am so happy she is here with us....
  As some of you know my sister Cindy Lou left us for the Rainbow bridge on May 23rd of this year  we all miss her but I think Ellie Mae misses her the most. But enough of that we are getting ready for one heck of a party after work today!!!!  So if you would send a Birthday Gottcha day wish Ellie Mae's way!!!! 

     

The most beautiful girl in the world!!!

 May I present my Fiance Lovey Basset Smith....

 Mom and Dad have a party planned for her and the rest of us too Dad is gonna grill us some steaks and chicken!!!!  It is so darn HOT here we are all staying inside as much as possible so Dad is gonna grill and we will wait at the patio door for him to bring in the foodies!!!!
  The temp today and tomorrow is gonna be right around 100 with lots of humidity so the hounds are staying inside and relaxing till Mom and Dad get home then the weekend begins!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY  to my sister ALEX!!!!!!!

  I hope everyone has a great weekend and please take a little time to tell some one you love them today
because you never know!!!!! 
 

  Hello again, I know I have not been writing like I should, I promise I will do better!!! I would like to thank everyone for reading and for commenting on my blog!!!!
   Now on to what happened this weekend it was very HOT and Humid not a good time to be outside at all!!! Mom and Dad decided to stay home and do some inside chores.... Those chores included giving all of us a ugh....... Bath!!!!  Oh how I hate getting a bath I just get to smelling "good" and Dad gives me a bath now I smell just like a great BIG apple!!! How am I supposed to be a big boy Basset when I smell like this???? Anyway I was not the only one to get a bath.... Dad has to pick us short leggers up and put us in the tub Alex (Bloodhound) can just step in us Bassets need held, well Dad got Dolly first then me then Alex and then Ellie Mae. Keep in mind Ellie weighs about 95 pounds and does NOT like to get bathed at all, so she tends to wiggle in Dads arms( boy I wish I had a pic of this) Dad has her up in his arms and she is wiggling like a big fat snake Dad almost drops her then catches her and they both plop into the tub together both unhurt but Dad said some words a young boy like me should NOT hear!!!! heheheheheheh........ I wish I had thumbs to video this stuff!!!! Well we all got bathed and we all smell so ....... Nice....
   After we were nice and clean Mom and Dad started on the house work they even shampooed all the carpets and cleaned my couch!!!!
  With all the house work done the foodies started!!!! We had grilled chicken  grilled steaks and even some pork chops!!!! I guess all in all not a bad weekend(steak makes everything better).....

 Next time I will start  the story of all my  friends and of course of my Lub Lovey Basset Smith!!!!!
