Lana is a growling ventrilloquist

I stop the tape before she goes too wild on himLife is so great for us all that, frankly, we are too busy to continue with this blog. God bless our dear friend Cat who more than anyone has inspired us along the way, please make sure to support her wonderful site www.bassethoundtown.com.
We're not saying never, we're just saying goodbye for now, and thanks.

I promise you this will make your basset live much longer than normal, so read and do this right now

I was at the dog park and a woman had two beautiful young retrievers. Unbelievably shining coats. I asked her how old the dogs were and one was two and the other was ten but looked two. And that prior to changing their diet the dog was sickly and had terrible skin issues. Trust me, you would not believe it, this dog was vital and playful and i could tell she FELT WELL. She said that feeding these dogs organic, human-grade food from a place called The Honest Kitchen, and they make many different kinds of food: we are using the most affordable one, this oneBut we have also really liked the Preference and the Keen as well. We started with Embark but for four dogs it is really expensive. Go there right now! www.thehonestkitchen.com/products/ Each batch is tasted by a human being. Seriously. Three examples of this food's benefits a) there is virtually no shedding going on in our house and practically all skin conditions was disappeared b)check our Lana's hourglass shape, she has a waist now and silky soft hair c) perfect elimination and fewer flies around it as the food has been properly assimilated so there is truly nothing there the flies want. YOU CAN HAVE IT SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO YOUR DOOR FROM THEM IN SAN DIEGO, which I love.

There is just no excuse

Except that we have been very busy with other projects.

Nothing is more important than Lana, Rocco, and Romeo wishing their cousin Emma a happy fourth birthday!!!!

This is an unexpected turn of events

Romeo is extremely, extremely at home now.well, at least that was a freak thing and will never happen again

Saturday morning funnin around

It is very stormy outside, so there is a lot of running going on inside the house

I guess this is why people live in L.A.

this is all I wanted for this Christmas; i know this is boring but if you had had the last two christmases that we've had you know this is winning the lotto a hundred times over for Dodson and me.

Snowball fight!

thursday morning action

Pancho came to stay for the day

His family dropped him off for a dayvisit and i think Rocco has a mancrush on him;as you will soon see this is endless, let's see how long you can put up with it with the sound on. Don't feel sorry for Pancho, by the end of the day he had proclaimed himself King of all that is rawhide. He exhausted Rocco by the end of the day, Roccy slept like a log next to me all night. Romey kept more to himself than Rocco and Lana was exhausted from hating Pancho so vigorously.

Blame the Writer's Strike

I've been a little distracted....thank you to our dear friend Michael for this pick me up, and this one, too

This is what I needed the very most ever, today

I went to a great wedding in Mexico for three days and though I had a wonderful time I was very sad to be away from my family. This, for me, is what it is all about.
