No need for a doorbell at this house---just go about your business and the moment the howling begins you know you've got little ghosts, gobblins, princesses, superheros, and the occasional bumblebee at your door.
Buford is NOT the one doing all the barking....he's lying patiently on the living room floor, staring through the baby gate at the big bowl of candy that is on the stairs. I KNOW he's formulating a plan, that, if executed, will result in a trip to the emergency vet. Let's just hope it is foiled!
Della has worn herself out with all the barking and baying. For a small basset (all of 48 lbs) she packs quite a punch with that voice of hers.
YIKES! Time to run---more vampires and look! There's Robin Hood with Maid Marian (who's sporting a set of wings...confused little 4 year old I guess.)

TURD HOCKEY!!
Yup, that's right--Turd Hockey. Actually, the NATHL is the North American Turd Hockey League for basset hounds! We are PROUD members of the St. Louis Nugget Nabbers. It's one heck of a commute but teh convenience of cyberspace practice and play makes things a litle easier on our busy schedule.
Della and I are part of the puck producing squad--we excel at our positions!
Coach Mowgli's mom is currently undergoing back surgery (we're sending extra drool for a speedy recovery) and we are practicing extra hard while Mowgli and Baloo are at her side during recovery.
We've got a game this weekend so:
GO SLNN!!!
(pawed by Buford while mom is resting her back...she hurt it yesterday....hope she can still help be get up on the bed tonight.)

Sleepless Nights
Guinness the c@t....as a kitten he was contantly put outside by his previous owners. This continued until he was 6 months old and came to live with me. He learned to be an "outside" cat and would come home each day when hungry, when cold, etc. He always knew where home was.
Guinness came home with a hole in his lower abdomen 11 days ago. Upon further inspection I saw the hole was a puncture wound and it was very puffy and inflamed. So off to the vet....turns out there were TWO puncture wounds and a bunch of sores and scabs all over him. The little bugger (ok, he's not little---14 lbs of cat!) had gotten attacked by something outside.
One rabies booster, one heavy duty antibiotic shot, one box of antibiotic liquid for 7 days, and one notice from the state later and Guinness is an "indoor" cat for 90 days! (DE state law when you are not 100% positive what caused the damage).
We're at 79 days and counting and I may just have to kill him if he doesn't let me (and the bassets!!) GET SOME SLEEP!!!!!
