New Update Service
You can now be automatically notified of any updates to this page. Since I add something every day or so, I figured the Daily Drool and Basset-L would get a little annoyed by constant messages from me. If you would like to be automatically notified of updates to this page, please click to add or delete your address from my list. This email list is maintained on my personal computer and not on some corporate server, so you will receive no spurious email or advertising because of your subscription to this little list. You also may not receive an immediate response because my email program might not be online at the time. Also, please leave the Subject line of your email as it is when your email program opens or the automatic filter will not work.

If you don't receive a response within a day or so, please let me know.

Chumley and an ardent admirer

Why Rescue? · Chumley's Story
Chumley was 10 when surrendered to BHRSC by his owner (who was a youngish man in a wheelchair). It's tough to place the old ones (and we already had another 10 year old), so I put an ad in the paper: "Retired Basset Hound seeks home with couch and tv." My ad was answered by Candace, who worked at an Alzheimer's Long-Term Care Facility. Their facility dog had died, and they were looking for another. They'd tried a Golden Retriever, but she was too active for their fragile seniors.

Chumley visited on Monday. Although he didn't get to meet their two cats, he really liked the caged bunnies. (It was an off the ground cage, and he could get right up underneath and sniff.) The bunnies are sometimes let loose in an inside patio, and occasionally get lost. They wondered if Chumley could find a lost bunny. (I assured them that he could; the question was what he'd do then...) They also wondered if he could find Mr. Brownley, an Alzheimers patient who used to be a magician; he kept removing his locator bracelet and getting lost.

Chumley made himself right at home, especially when he was invited with a pat to get up on the couch in the lobby. He was comfortable with the wheelchairs, and it seemed like a good fit, although the Director did mention that he wished Chumley were just a bit taller (and he's tall for a Basset). Chumley had to get his teeth cleaned Tuesday, but he returned Wednesday with bed, blanket, and toys. He immediately befriended a patient in a wheelchair, and Laura, who had delivered Chumley, stopped to say "hi." No response. A staff member whispered to her, "Mrs. Johann speaks only to our animals, not to people."

I phoned the next day. Candace said that Chumley was just fine; he hadn't eaten much from his dish, but she thought he'd been given quite a few snacks from the residents. She said, "the last time I saw him, he was headed down the hall towards cooking class."

Jason, the Hush Puppies Basset's (no relation) story is a thoroughly enjoyable read.

From The Daily Drool...

Things Dogs Must Try To Remember

1. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
2. The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.
3. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.
4. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge.
5. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
6. I will not eat the cats' food, before or after they eat it.
7. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.
8. I will not throw up in the car.
9. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.
10. "Kitty box crunchies" are not food.
11. I will not eat any more socks and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.
12. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
13. I will not wake Mommy up by sticking my cold, wet nose up her bottom end.
14. I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.
15. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think I am hemorrhaging.
16. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.
17. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
18. I will not steal my Mom's underwear and dance all over the back yard with it.
19. The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom & Dad's laps.
20. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
21. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Dad's driver's license and car registration.

Note: If this is lower than 100, it's because of the navigation anchors.
