Does anyone have or has had a basset hound?? sm
We have a 5 month old basset, girl, and all she seems to do is cry. We have 3 other dogs (other breeds), males, and they never cry except when they need to go out. This little one just wines and cries all the time. She was sick with pneumonia and kennel cough when we got her and was also having some kind of anxiety or depression because all of her siblings were gone. She had given up on life and had quit eating and drinking. She adjusted well in our home and loves the other dogs and our kids. She is healthy now, but still cries a lot. Just wondering if this is a basset trait, a girl-dog trait, or is it just her?? Thanks!
We had to put our Basset Hound to sleep today
she wasn't feeling well and was having a lot of back pain and trouble breathing. My vet took a back xray, which was fine, but he said the chest xray was abnormal. We took her for an ultrasound, and the result was advanced lung cancer. It was a struggle for her to get air, because she had so much fluid built up around her lungs and heart. The vet said they could extract the fluid, but it would build back up again.
The vet said it was a really bad case, and with chemo, she'd probably only live 6 months to a year, and even that wasn't guaranteed. She said she could start LouLou on chemo and she could die in a week or two. She also said with the fluid buildup, we'd have to keep taking her in to have fluid extracted. She was just 2.5 years old.
We're pretty sad.
How cute, is the little one a beagle or basset hound? nm

What a great story, I have a basset hound named Biscuit. nm

It was especially funny when watching show on Neanderthals and

So funny! It brought back memories... (sm)
Many years ago when I worked in an entirely different environment, there was a version of this making the rounds that had several followup messages between the wife and tech support. I wish I could find it in my stash of old paperwork because it's hilarious!
you just brought back a really funny memory
When my daughter was young (way, way preteen), probably the age of your daughter, she was in dance and they put on performances where they had to wear makeup and really a lot to be seen by the audience.
Well, we took her out to lunch after one particular performance without wiping her face (I mean, it was a real production to get this stuff off -- especially the lipstick because they used this kind that doesn't come off easily).
I thought the waitress was going to flip. She gave us the coldest reception and was extremely rude. At first I did't get it, but then I looked at my daughter in her jeans and T-shirt and face all made up --- I explained to the waitress and she immediately changed her demeanor.
I guess I was dumb for not removing the makeup first and I can't remember the exact circumstances, but it seems like we were in a rush or had no choice or something... anyhow, hadn't thought about that for a while...
oh and my bottom lash isn't bald but if I don't wear any makeup at all, I at least put a little liner underneath, so yeah, I think it's okay (but I don't know what you look like lol). I'd love to have the permanent tattoo done, but the little dancer is in college now, so mom's beauty will just have to wait!!
We have a basset with anxiety (sm)
He's an old male and whines and howls a lot, particularly when we have company. He's always been like that. When he's particularly bad, my husband was instructed to give him an antianxiety drug. (I'm not sure which one--he had specific instructions of which I am unclear.) Our female basset is happy, jumpy, playful, and silly.
I'm not sure, but maybe your basset just has that kind of personality like our basset does. My husband has raised several bassets. This male dog he has is the only one that has had anxiety problems. He's raised several female bassets with no anxiety, excessive whining, or excessive howling problems like the male.
Our boy dog howls so much sometimes that his voice gets hoarse. It's so sad to hear it happen.
I have a hound who is 3 now, he was the HARDEST dog SM
I have ever had to train! I think basset hounds in generale are difficult to train. Just be patient, she will "get it" soon.
I was used to having boxers before we got the basset.
Snow?! What snow? LOL I live in south...sm
Mississippi. We rarely have snow so I can't relate, but I think the snow is beautiful though. I tell ya, a couple of years ago my husband and I went to upstate New York during March or April, not sure now which. I froze to death. I seen enough snow to get my fill. It was a bitter cold too. I am not used to that. A cold front had come through so I don't know if it normally snows there that late in the year or not.
I have a 3-1/2 yo basset, Biscuit, he cries and whines all the time sm
I bought him from a chain pet store and he was a little older when I got him. He was difficult to train too, but I hear that hounds are generally. I had a boxer who was so gentle and calm, took me a while to get used to the basset!
BOYCOTT!! I think she is a media hound (nicer word than what I really think) sm
and we should not dignify what she has done by giving her one iota of attention. And any station that decides to give her a "show" (like Jon&Kate plus 8 or that Duggars Giant humongous family - disgusting) should be absolutely boycotted and all their sponsors too. Promoting this stuff is just WRONG.
Seems to me that I have read the basset hounds are prone to spine problems...
because they have long bodies and short legs leading to lameness and paralysis, but I wouldn't figure that a puppy would already be having these problems.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
Definitely remember Buffy's Bark. Also had a Bassett Hound and remember his bark(EOM)

Funny looking Bob with the funny looking wife
I think he is doing his job and watching over you.
Can you honestly believe that in the face God, whom you supposedly worship at church and live for, it is okay to portray and celebrate evil or anti-God anything?
If you do, then you really need to visit your preacher today.
As for watching...sm
I think it's because they wouldn't pay much attention to the teacher:-) I sat right outside the door with the other moms and talked, and we could pretty much hear everything. I know there are pricier places that allow you watch on a TV screen, which would be neat. That's not a bad price for the costume if that's what it'll be! Thanks for responding!
Not really into it, but watching it anyway.
snow!!!
Hey, I'm in upstate NY too! I am so excited. I have been working from home for almost two years and I swear ever since then there has been no snow!!! When I had to drive 30 minutes to work we got dumped on all the time!!
snow
I live right outside Albany and we have only had an inch or so here and there. Looking forward to staying home!
Snow
We have snow here in PA too. Started this morning and hasn't stopped.
They say it will snow until 6:00 p.m. Wednesday.
Schools closed early and some have called off for tomorrow already.
Why oh why do I keep watching??? (sm)
Please, if they let Taylor and Nick's baby be Brooke's egg....I'll scream! Can it get any more ridiculous than that? I guess it can though, I mean having the ex-wife of your present husband/daughter of your husband's ex-wife/woman who once carried your husband's child but miscarried artificially inseminate you...come on now, too whacked for me! But I do keep watching...
I'm nor sure after watching exactly (sm)
what to think. I never did follow the story very closely. I don't believe she is much of a speaker, but after the life she says she led, that is not surprising. What mainly caught my attention and really annoyed the bejeebers out of me is Oprah's attitude. To me it seemed so obvious that she wasn't "buying" any of it, and I'm glad the lawyers called her on her remark at the end of the show. I don't care much for his parents, not sure why, but I don't, just a feeling. I hope she gets her kids back.
Snow
Mt. Mitchell State Park, just a little NE of Asheville, North Carolina, off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Had snow to my hip first week of May. May start falling early. Call to check.
DH was watching it...
He wanted a cuda' for his b-day on Monday. Yeah, honey. You betcha'!
Snow - still - nm

Snow
I live near Scranton, PA. We have about 4 inches and school is canceled.
Snow, Oh, NO!
Nothing here yet in Upstate NY, but they are calling for 1-3 inches overnight. I'm not looking forward to this at all. My friends all laugh at me, once the snow falls, you'll never catch me outside unless it's absolutely necessary. On the upside, they're saying that for Halloween it's going to be 62. Very strange weather here.
Snow!
Hey yall! There is snow on the ground in South Texas (between Galveston & Houston). I looked outside when starting my shift at 0200 & it is there....will probably all be gone by 10 though.....we almost never get snow here.
Snow...
You can definitely have the snow from WI.....If things continue on the way they have started we will never see green grass! I think it April before all the snow melted from last year!
snow
Wow that is a mess of snow. I am originally from NY/NJ and I really miss the true meaning of a snow advisory.
Watching AI
I watched it periodically last night. We were at my father-in-law's for his 80th birthday. Maybe it was because I didn't see everyone, but I didn't like this group at all. There was no one I was interested in watching. I did like I think three out of the ones that I saw, but like I said I don't think it helped that I really get a chance to sit down and really watch it. I'm just waiting for the competition to really start. It seems like it's dragging this year with the way they're doing things.
Ya all watching ER.
Sniff, Sniff. Not sure what I'm gonna do without it. Last episode is pretty good so far. Sniff, sniff.
Snow is melting....sm
Temp up to 55 today. Hope you got in touch with your family! Roads were good the day after. It really wasn't as much of a storm as the media made it sound, as per usual. Good luck!
As far as snow, it's been clear. But
as far as traffic goes in general, good luck. I live only about 45 minutes away and on a Saturday it can take hours to get in, especially bad at the tunnels, and parking is also the pits, can be very expensive, one time it cost me $40 for a few hours. Is there a train or bus you can take? Good luck and have fun!
Who has snow today? sm
Big snowstorm here in Ohio! It's been snowing nonstop since early this morning and isn't going to stop anytime soon. My husband's job even cancelled today! We probably have 4 or 5 inches already.
snow storm
It's headed our way tonight in Upstate NY. We're suppose to get over a foot. Tomorrow it is suppose to be snowing all day long. It'll be one of those days when I REALLY appreciate working from home. 
snow in nebraska; sun is out now tho

Some snow in Philly
It's been snowing lightly for hours, but ground is barely covered. Expecting about 5 inches tonight, though. Haven't had any real snow this winter.
Is everyone watching this on MSNBC?
Which attorney collapsed?!?! What happened? I missed it.
Well, actually, watching everything you put into your mouth is not
really living, is it?!?! I agree with your post to a point, I think most people try to eat healthy these days, but personally I enjoy a Big Mac supersize meal with a Coke, an entire bag of chips or a HUGE slab of cheesecake once in a while. Gotta live a little ;)
well I don't have snow, but apparently from the looks of it-
not much grass. This time of the year it is easy to tell that I have a bumper crop of wild onions and they are a lot higher than the grass that is greening up. I have daffodils, hyacinths and crocus. How long until you see green?
so what you're saying is watching them is bad..*lol*
 
Why do you keep watching, my guess
you have no life?
I just started watching B&B
ever since Constantine joined the cast. The writers seem to like these storylines. Something similar happened on Days of Our Lives.
Yes, I am watching it right now. Showing
repeat footage. I am sure she dressed that way and looked the worst she could so the judge would feel sorry for her or something like that.
Greta Van Susteren says she needs medical attention and that there is something wrong with her.
