We Board Waddled!!! ...sort of...

Della: "We waddled! We waddled!"

Buford: "No, I was dragged down part of a road I didn't know, and then made to go up on this wooden walkway, and then some stranger carried me part of the way back to the car."

Mom: "Well, we TRIED to do the Tri-State Basset Hound Boardwaddle today, but Buford just doesn't have the stamina for it. He's probably still very weak from the winter--I know he suffered a small setback this week, and after all, he is 8.5 years old. So I've learned, Della can handle it for a few more years and the "stately old gentleman" should probably call his first Boardwaddle his last. Poor guy!!

...and yes, a complete stranger actually carried Buford for a few blocks back to the car!! Ann, if you're reading this I just do not know how to say thank you enough!!!!

OH! Boardwaddle Photos!!

no, No, NO!!!!!!

Strange men are tearing out my carpeting mom!!! STOP THEM THIS INSTANT! I worked so HARD to get the carpet to smell just like me--it took 200 nickzillion years!!!

--Buford (I am formulating my plan for paybacks!)

STOP ALL THAT NOISE!!!!

MOM!!! MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is some strange man in the family room banging and banging and banging! He tore up part of the carpet (MY CARPET!) and he's putting down a floor on top of the floor!!! MAKE HIM STOP!!!!

MOM?!?!? CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?!?! MOM?!?!

--signed, your very distraught older hound, Buford

NOT COOL!!!

Now mom is moving the furniture OUT of the room!!!!! She said something about tomorrow being a "rough day" and that we wouldn't be happy. What did she mean by "new floor???"

Please help us! We're being mentally and emotionally abused by all the changes!

Buford (I want things back the way they were)
Della (I am scared and will stay under the kitchen table forever now)
Guinness (whatever--I'll find somewhere else to lounge)

NOT HAPPY--NOT AT ALL!

I am NOT happy! Mom is still painting and the furniture is all in the wrong place. And to top it off, this strange man dropped off boxes of stuff (mom calls it "flooring"--- but we have a FLOOR already. I don't understand!!!) that is in the middle of the room so that I can't take a nap in my sun spot today!!!

I am NOT happy! So I decided to teach mom a lesson: I pooped in the living room!!!

When Will She Stop!?

Hello World, Buford here.

I want to thank everyone for all their "drool" and well wishes these last few months. I'm doing mucho better and even gained some weight! Mom said that I'm starting to look like a "basset hound" again---I don't understand though, as I AM a basset hound so when did I stop looking like one?

Anyway, I have a MAJOR complaint! Mom moved all the furniture around in the family room, took down all the curtains and blinds (do you know how hard it is to sleep in there now?) and has tape on all the baseboards and woodwork. SHE'S PAINTING!! And this has been going on for a nickzillion years!!

The house stinks, Della has paint on her left ear, and that stupid cat Guinness was covered in spackle dust the other day (idiot wouldn't stay out of the room--stupid cat).

I WANT MY ROOM BACK---NOW!!!
