Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Dania Lovers…I just love this tube.  It is peaceful and almost feels like the old time travelogues.  Anyone remember them?

Dania is adorable and she waddles along side that delicious babbling brook.  Just perfect.

Makes me want to wisk away to Belgium…

More loving Dania later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB and strolling with Dania)

Mayor Daisy Lynn reports in with her first Mayoral health report…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mayoral health report lovers….

As the predominate bassethoundtown official for the past 13 months, the Mayor Daisy Lynn Rudert is required to undergo an annual physical examination.  The results must be reported to her constituents.

It was a rigorous day that started as everyday does, brushing her teeth.  This is a huge part of her long term health care.

Not the best picture but her teeth are blazing white!

Then there was a trip to her holistic vet, Dr. Ron Leick.  We were anxious to hear if our physical therapy on her left paw was working.  Dr. Leick was extremely pleased with her progress and reported that our efforts are paying off and her ankle and ligaments are significantly “looser.”  It is not as loose as her right ankle but the improvement was music to our long ears…

I could tell our efforts were paying off but wanted his confirmation.  This is a medical photo that will go into her chart;)

Dr. Leick reported that Daisy Lynn is extremely well balanced and just a few very minor adjustments were necessary.  We are now on a schedule of every 10 weeks.

Next stop was our family practitioner, Dr. Eric Doan.  Daisy Lynn was warned not to gain any more weight as she had gained 8 pounds over the last 12 weeks.  She now weighs in at 51.7 pounds.  This weight gain coincides with the end of our daily walks due to weather.  Yikes, hope I did not gain 8 pounds!!!

Grandma and I decided to start a bathing routine at her vet office.  We had hoped to do this on our own but our experience was similar to placing her into a hot frying pan.

Here she is waiting for us to pick her up.

The nice gals at the office set her up in their area with her very own Dora the Explorer towel.

With the weather in bassethoundtown still shockingly cold we rushed her to the basset hauling vehicle and then home.

She was still a bit damp.

DLBT5

It was a long day butt this city official must keep as healthy as possible to run such a major and global town.

More loving next years report later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB very proud of the new Mayor…)

P.S. – breaking news – severe ice storm moving through bassethoundtown.  Hope we keep our electric!  If not, I have my healthy hound heater smelling all good from her bath…

 

 

Daisy Lynn joined in for her first puppy bowl!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Puppy Bowl Lovers…Daisy Lynn, Grandma and I were excited to watch the 10th annual puppy bowl today.  A very cute basset puppy named Lily was in the line up!  She was from Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue!  Herz has a bum paw but that did not stop her from getting a yellow flag for excessive cuteness!

You can read her story here if you like!

Sayville NY basset hound plays in Puppy Bowl despite defect in paw!

The puppy bowl is playing on a loop over at Animal Planet all night.  If you want to catch Lily she does not make an appearance until the top of the forth quarter.  She even howls for the camera!  So cute!

In bassethound town we had our own tail gate party…

That is Daisy Lynn’s paper plate with an assortment of goodies!

Better have some chow so this hound can participate in the puppy bowl!

Daisy Lynn is ready to take her toys over the goal line…

More loving that all of the puppies were rescues and found forever homes…later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB rooting for the Seahawks;)
