Does anyone know if Weight Watchers will allow a basset to join?  The vetman told me that I needed
to lose weight.  I don’t think that’s very nice to tell that to a sweet houndette like me.  If he insults me
like that again, I might just stump on his foot.  Honestly I have lost some weight.  I’ve lost about 10
pounds since GABR rescued me from the shelter.  

My foster family started giving me green beans with my kibble.  I was really excited when they
mentioned it.  I was thinking yummy green bean casserole.  Instead I got just green beans – no cream
of mushroom soup, no cheese and no crunchy onions.  My bowl contained green beans with my
kibble.  Honestly do I look like a rabbit?!

I’ve been hanging out at my foster home due to a urinary tract infection.  Oh don’t worry.  I’m getting
that under control.  If you think that I piddle in the house, think again.  I am housetrained.  I’m also
sofa-trained too.  I like to snooze on the sofa next to my foster auntie.  I’ll confess – sometimes I
stretch out when she gets up.  Just don’t tell her that – that will be our little secret.

I have been exercising some.  I like to play with the other dogs in my foster home.  I especially like to
race the other dogs to the sofa.  Walks? I love them as long as they are to the car and not through
the neighborhood.  I told my foster family that I’ll take walks willingly when the weather is nice.  If it’s
cold outside, I’m not walking.  I’m a basset not a husky.  Besides if bassets were meant to take long
walks, we would have longer legs.

My foster family claims that I have a little bit of a drama queen in me.  Wrong!  Just because I
complain when they try to cut my nails or clean my ears doesn’t make me a drama queen.  I figure if I
complain and carry on people will offer me a cookie to shut up.  During my five years on this earth, I
have learned a few ways to get people to do what I want
