New Walkies and Mango in Illinois

Oh My Dawg I am so confused.......

HDM decided that we needed to get out and get some new sniffs.  So she took us to a local Park that doesn't have many humans or dogs running around.  We actually had the place all to ourselves.  Sniffing the new trees, bushes, we found a small creek that Mom said "NO" to.  Lots of shade for us to walk in and nobody to bother us.  Here are a few pictures of our new walkie place.

Come on everyone there are new sniffs here!

Lots of new sniffs for everyone.  And Winston always on the go, go!               

 .

 

 Oh, Please Mom can we can we, please check out that stream of water of there.

 This was the creek that they thought they could go in.  Maybe next time.

Know for the funny part of our trip, our ride home.  HDM had promised us a good yummy treat for all our hard work we had just completed.  So we stopped at Mickie-Ds.

And found this.....

I gave her this seriously confused, tongue hanging out, look like.....

we can't have a Mango Raspberry Shake, that's our blogging buddy Mango.  

She proceeded to tell us that she didn't think it would be Mango in person, but than again he does have some pretty unique talents so maybe he does have a "Raspberry Shake" that he is showing off in Bloomington, IL.  Can you believe the nerve of Mickie-Ds to come up with a Mango Raspberry Shake.  I sure they didn't check with our blogging buddy before doing that.

Well after going through the drive thru, which Winston did not like very much.  This is what they gave us for a Mango Raspberry Shake.

Amiee with her confused look, are we seriously going to have Mango Raspberry Shake!

Come on Mom I am ready to try this treat, even though it does start with Mango!

Sorry Mango, but it is yummy!

Cleo even gives us a little tongue action.

Winston is a very picky eater and just wasn't sure if he should be eating Mango Raspberry Shake

Know it is sleepy time after our new adventures and Mango Raspberry Shake.

Amiee always gets the top bunk.

But we must ask Mango, while we are dreaming.........what does a real Mango Raspberry Shake look like?

Lounging Outside Day - Finally

Finally a day that it didn't rain and wasn't 100 degrees outside.  We enjoyed a nice day this Friday just lounging and hanging outside.  You must pardon on concrete pad, haven't had a chance to fix it yet because of all the rain.  It just seems to be washing away.

Cleo being semi-photogenic.

 

Checking yard for snakes and toads.

Can we not do anything without a picture.

I had no idea that Amiee had her tongue sticking out at me.

Please stop taking pictures of me just doing nothing.

Let me know if you need some help out there, otherwise I am not moving.

This was Amiee's trick for the day, even though the doggie door is nothing new she thought it was fun that day.

Out the doogie door

In the doggie door

Are we having fun yet, Mom?

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and we are so looking forward to no rain and 75 degree weather during the day this week.

Where Still Here

Cleo here,

Shhhhh....Don't tell Mom, but I sneeked on the computer today while she was at work.  I thought we might need to provide a little update.

We are doing good.  Just trying to get back in to a routine.  Taking a few more walks, but this is hard for Winston since he use to get two walks.  One with Amiee and Me and then one with Tabby.  So he howls after his first walk for a little while.  But he is doing better.  Winston and I are going to get our nails done tonight.  Yikes....  Probably won't get to walk much this weekend because it is suppose to RAIN all weekend.  Yuck....

Well better get down out of the chair before I get caught typing on Mom's new computer.  I am sure she will be telling you all about that great deal.  We sure have heard enough about it.

I am sure Mom will blog this weekend once she sees I had to fill in for her again.

Sniffs,
Cleo, Winston and Amiee

Easter Egg Hunt - Basset Style

HDM has been way behind on helping us blog lately.  She has been very busy trying to complete some projects for the Basset Ball that is coming up.  She makes lots of homemade items to donate for the silent auction.  But, we finally told her that it was time to get the pictures up from our Easter Egg Hunt.  So here it is the long awaited posting from Easter.

Cleo looking for Easter Eggs

Cleo with her find, she would collect 2 or 3 eggs and hoard them tell she could crack each one open.

Amiee and her easter egg find

Don't even think about getting that treat

Back to munching up the find

Winston and his first Easter Egg find

Oh, NO Mom someone laid an egg in our yard

And another

Wasn't long and Amiee found the orange one.  Boy this one is slippery

One small little bit and it pops open!

Yum Yum, that was tasty.  We love HDM's homemade treats!

To bad HDM chopped my pretty eys out of this picture.  I guess the tongue was what she was going for.

Egg with treat beside it, guess someone over looked this one

Cleo, I have had enough of this, I am going back in for a nap.

Amiee on the prowl for more eggs

There has to be one more of them egss with treats somewhere

Sniff Sniff, here Easter Egg, here Easter Egg

Oops, sorry needed to take care of some business.  HDM thought I was doing a pose for her.  Ha Ha Gotcha!

Hey what the heck did I miss!

Okay Amiee that was my Easter Egg.  I found it first!

Sorry Winston, my egg know.  Yum Yum. :)

As you can see the Basset Hound Easter Egg Hunt was a huge success.  All the eggs were saved so this maybe a fun thing to do just on a nice Sunday afternoon.  We hope have a video posted soon, but gosh as long as it takes HDM to blog, upload pics for us I can't imagine what it will take for her to do a video.
