How To Clean A Basset - Friday Humor

Last week our blog friends over at Two Pitties In The City did a posting on bathing your fur-kids.  We got a lot of laughs out of this and having basset hounds, they are not real fond of the baths and are not the easiest to get in the tub.  We do put a treat in the tub to encourage them to jump in there themselves, but getting them out presents some challenges with their long bodies being all slippery.

We probably should give them baths more often as Amiee looks like she is out rolling in the mud with the pigs some days.  Winston is really hard to tell when he needs a bath as he doesn't have much white on him that gets dingy.

So we thought we would share Winston's cleaning technique that he enjoys the most. 

Note:  You may want to adjust your volume for the video as Mom does not know how to turn it down before she uploaded.



As you watched the video you could probably see Amiee come up and then run away, she is no fan of the this type of cleaning at all.  Actually the only basset hounds that I have had that have actually enjoyed this type of cleaning is both of my male bassets.  Elliott my first male basset would follow me around the house with the vacuum until you stopped and ran it over him over and over.  Well Winston does follow you around the house, but he sure will make it known that maybe he needs a little cleaning.

How many of your dogs like to be cleaned with the vacuum cleaner?

National Taco Day - October 4, 2011


This year is the first time that we are pawticipating in the 2nd Annual National Taco Day hosted by Jazzi. This will not only be our first time of pawticipating but our first time to ever get Tacos.  Can you believe that our Mom had no idea that Tacos were good for us furends as well.

Well we found out Monday after Mom got off work, just what eating Tacos was all about and man oh man, we have been missing some really good food ables from these places the humans call Fast Food.  When Mom left work she headed over to Taco John's and ordered up two hard shell tacos with meat and cheese.  Heck they were so amused that she was purchasing them for 2 basset hounds to take pictures of for National Taco Day they included some free tater tots that Mom loves so she was really excited.

This is a picture of the bag with our Tacos in it

Picture of one of tacos that we were ready to taste

Winston trying to enjoy his first bite of Taco.  Amiee came right over and snatched it.  I do believe she may have had a taco or two in her previous life

Oh, what is this tasty stuff

Winston taking it slow and enjoying it.  He actually took all the meat and cheese out and then ate the taco shell


Amiee enjoying what she took from Winston

Okay, enough assistance let me go enjoy this in peace

Amiee would hardly look at the camera while she woofed it down

Winston took his to enjoy on the dog bed


Winston finished his and went outside, not sure if he needed to relief himself after eating that or what.  But he had no idea that Mom had another one of these so called "Tacos" in that sack.  So here a few shots of me eating it.  Of course, they are semi-action so blurry.

Oh, so good.....Me LOVE Tacos





Winston:  What the heck, I missed the second Taco

Amiee:  And I am not sharing
Oh, Jazzi we are so glad that you hosted this day and allowed us the privilege to know what Tacos was all about.  We will remember this day for a long time and look forward to having them again real soon.
