HSCI Alumni Days - Dog Park

HSCI Alumni Days - April 17, 2010

A Girl's Day Out At The Dog Park

This was a very busy weekend for HoundDogMom. We blogged about her abandoning us to go to the Paws Pageant, but she did take me (Cleo) and Amiee to the HSCI Alumni Days at the local dog park. Winston stayed home to whine because he isn't one of us special Alumni Dogs. :)

Actually we have our very first slide show to present to our blogging buddies. This was our first attempt at creating one of these. We don't have music but we do have some captions. HoundDogMom has been trying to learn a few more tricks to this blogging world so I hope you enjoy our Girl's Day at the Dog Park.

HSCI Paws Pageant Fund Raiser

HSCI Paws Pageant – April 16, 2010

Last year HDM entered herself and I (Cleo) in the Pageant. She went as some dude from the 50’s and I was her date. Here is a picture of us in last years’ Paws Pageant. We didn’t win, but I sure had fun walking the red carpet. Even though I fell up the stairs flat on my face, how do they expect a girl with short legs and a basset hound skirt on to walk up stairs. That is okay it didn’t stop me a bit and I was pretty darn proud of myself. And Mom made my costume for me and had a customized basset hound skirt.

I hope Mom decides to enter next year with me again.  It was fun in 2009 and looks like all the fur-kids had a great time at the 2010 Paws Pageant.

HSCI Newsletter Cover Girls - Cleo & Amiee

Last month I (Cleo) and Amiee had a vet appointment and HDM had to go to HSCI to make a memorial donation.  So before we went to the vet HDM decided to stop at HSCI for us to visit all our friends there.  We had so much fun running in their big open front lobby.  Then a nice lady came out that had kept Amiee as a puppy and loved on us a bunch. :)  We then had to pose for some pictures for them and next thing you know they asked HDM if they could do a small story about us for their newsletter.  HDM was very accommodating and gave them lots of stories and told them to check out the blog if they really want the truth about us. :)  Loving, Sweet, Adorable Bassets. :)

Well the next thing you know we were contacted by HDM's BFF that we were on the cover this month.  How sweet is that.  Here is a copy of the cover page that HDM scanned in on the computer.

Is this not sweet or what?

Sorry the next couple are little fuzzy because HDM was taking a picture of the article.  We just were so excited and wanted to share our news.  And they even mention our website so we are doing some serious talking to HDM to make sure she is updating our activites on a regular basis.  She has been a little laxing in this area lately, she seems to help us blog our activites but then fails to post them because.  She says that blogger sometimes gives her fits with pictures and stresses her.  Urgh......

Thanks, HSCI for making us cover girls.
