1 cup of dried beans - pinto, northern, kidney, lima<br />
1 cup rice<br />
1 small zucchini<br />
2 carrots<br />
3 stalks of celery<br />
2 cups of fresh kale or spinach<br />
1 clove garlic (one clove in all this food won't hurt us, but you can leave it out)<br />
1/2 tsp turmeric<br />
2 tbls olive oil<br />
1 750mg Tums (we need this for calcium)<br />
3 boneless chicken breasts (about 2lbs)<br />
5 cups of water<br />

<br />
In the crock-pot place the rice and beans in the bottom. Dice up the zucchini, slice the carrots and celery. Place on top of the beans and rice. Tear up the kale and place on top of vegetables. Slice up the clove of garlic and place on top of the kale. Add the turmeric, olive oil and tums. Place the chicken breasts whole on top of everything. Pour in 5 cups of water. Turn crock-pot on low for 8 hours. When done use two forks to shred the chicken breasts and then mix everything. Let cool and serve. This will make several servings.<br />

The best part about crock-pot cooking is you make several servings at once. Mom buys plastic containers to store in refrigerator or freeze the food. She buys 1/2 cup freezer bowls for the dachshunds and 3 cup containers for me the bloodhound. This recipe makes 15 1/2 cup servings. That is enough food for a week for a dachshund!<br />
<br />
<i>Watch for more crock-pot recipes!</i><br />
<br />
Feed twice a day.<br />
<br />
How much to feed your dog:<br />
Up to 10 lbs 1/8 to 1/4 cup<br />
11 - 50 lbs 1/2 to 1 cup<br />
51 - 100 lbs 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups<br />
100 lbs or more 1 1/2 to 3 cups<br />
This can be adjusted according to how active and thin your dog is. Very active dogs require more calorie intake and heavy dogs require less.Annie and the Dotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844109976026460422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344746069824716559.post-30050929724634315372011-12-03T12:18:00.002-06:002011-12-06T18:37:09.540-06:00#JinglePawsPawty Special Prize!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER!!!</b></span><br />

As you know this bloodhound has a deep love for dachshunds. Yep! I have two brothers Bucky & Opie and a sister Sauci that are all dachshunds and boy do they run the house.<br />
<br />
So dachshunds are special and we would like to present Myles a dachshund that is in need of his furever home. Please read about Myles and see if he could be your doxie family member.<br />

I really like stealing the toilet paper out of the bathroom. But mom is pretty mad at me. She said toilet paper is not cheap and she cannot afford my paper and cardboard habits. I would blame this on the doxies Sauci, Bucky and Opie but they are too short to reach the toilet paper holder. She got the toilet paper away from me last night, but not before I got the cardboard center out of it and chewed up the edges. She put it back on the holder!<br />
<br />
Now mom bought a bell and put on the end of the toilet paper holder. I think she thinks that it will stop me. I keep going in there and looking at this set up and I think I can figure out a way around this.<br />

I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to Lisa J. Emerson for taking time from her busy schedule to write this article for me. I hope that anyone interested in dachshunds will purchase her book and learn about the coat genetics.

</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dappling, called merle in most other dog breeds, is a pattern that causes dilution of color in varied, blotchy amounts on a dog’s coat. Double dappling occurs when a dapple allele from both parents gets passed to a puppy; double dapple is created by two copies of the dapple allele causing a “double dose” of dappling, so to speak, on the body. Many of the areas that would have simply looked diluted on a regular dapple turn lighter and white on a double dapple.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Those not cursed with such major deformities usually have minor ones that can be easily detected by the breeder doing proper testing on her dogs.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Absolutely. But breeding for double dapples is a feat rarely taken on by responsible breeders because of the honest work involved. A buyer should be extremely nervous and run away if a breeder is not doing hearing and sight testing on double dapple parents and puppies before she sells them. (The only reasonable exception to this is a breeder who has been breeding many, many generations who has already been diligent about weeding out problems.) A breeder should know and be responsible for what they are producing. The problem we have nowadays is that so few who do breed double dapples know what they are doing or care, especially when they can still make enough money from the “cute” or “I feel sorry for it” factors to get by, come up with a profit, and keep breeding more. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is up to the buyer to avoid such breeders; only the market can change bad selling practices.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

The incidence is lower, and the problems are often not quite as noticeable, but they still should not be discounted.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

To be entirely honest, there’s not a 100% tried and true method, apart from genetic testing, that is applicable to every dapply-looking dog out there, but many observational generalizations can be made:</span><b style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: x-large; font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />

Complication: There are multiple genetic factors, not just dappling, that can be responsible for such defects.<br />
</i></span></li>
<li><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If both eyes are fully blue, chances are generally higher the dog is a double dapple rather than a single. Complication: There are single dapples out there with two blue eyes, and there are plenty of doubles who have little if any blue in their eyes.<br />
</span></i></li>
<li><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If there’s more than a little bit of white on the dog, and if the white meets the colored areas in a jagged way rather than a smooth way, chances are generally higher the dog is a double dapple. Complication: Random white areas called mismarks, usually found on the extremeties (face, feet, chest, and/or tail) can cause white on a dog of any pattern. Complication: There is a whitening factor that can cause white on single dapples. Further complication: Parti-coloration causes white on the coat too.</span></i></li>

Traditionally, three parti-color patterns have been acknowledged: tuxedo, piebald, and extreme white, all of which appear to occur in dachshunds.</span><b style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: x-large; font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Tuxedo is the pattern of most collies and basenjis. A tux’s coat is between roughly 0% to 25% white. Usually, but certainly not always, the dog has a well-demarcated white chest, partial or full white collar, white feet, white tail tip, and occasionally a white spot or line on the head.<br />
</i></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Piebald is the pattern of many basset hounds. A pie’s coat is roughly 50% colored and 50% white. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Usually, but certainly not always, the dog has a white chest, four white legs, white underbody, and white tail tip, among possible white on other areas.<br />
</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Extreme white is the pattern of white bull terriers and white boxers. An exwhite is between roughly 75% to 100% white, often with just part of the face, part of the ear(s), and/or an area usually near the base of the tail well-demarcated with color.</span></span></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It has been supposed that these three parti patterns can be mixed on any given dog; for instance, a dog could be half tux and half pie, or half exwhite and half pie. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What is important to understand overall is that, in comparison to double dappling, the colored areas on any variety of parti-colored dogs are generally well-demarcated; that is, there is a more or less “smooth” edge to the color rather than the typical jaggedness seen on most double dapples.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

The truth is, every dog is an individual, and where that individual’s particular pigment cells migrate or fail to migrate to on its body cannot be proficiently predicted.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

But then, there are numerous counter examples to this. Double dapples are usually more irregular, but they can have coloration in the same basic places as parti-colors can too.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

There is next to no data on this in the dachshund breed, and breeders of parti-colors should be responsible by testing their dogs’ hearing and publishing the results. The good news is, parti-coloring does not cause sight impairment or blindness in dachshunds, although this fact should not preclude responsible breeders from sight-testing their dogs for general purposes.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This is where spots (or blotches) of color can develop over a few weeks’ time on the white areas of the parti-colored dog’s body. These spots do not occur outside of the extremities (muzzle, ears, and feet/legs) on double dapples. Not all parti-colors have ticking or roaning, though – many are just as snowy white as the white on double dapples.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="font-size: x-large; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Very often they do not even they know what patterns their parent dogs are let along what their resulting puppies end up being. This is a dangerous practice, not only because of not being able to easily parse the visuals, but also because dappling can “hide” on the white of the parti-color patterns, thus leaving the breeder not knowing that her parti is also potentially a dapple, and if she should mate it to another dapple, double dapples could of course easily result – even worse, double dapple parti-colors could result!</span></div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In breeds like australian shepherds, most of whom are tuxedo and many of whom are dapple as well, “surprizes” of tuxedo double dapple puppies occur frequently enough. Often the cause is that dappling doesn’t happen to show up on any of the colored areas of the body, and the larger the area of white on the body, the greater chance a dog with very little dappling on it can “hide” the dappling in the white.</span></div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />

The colored, non-parti-colored spots may have full color like a regular parti (and dapple can be hiding in the white), or they may have noticeable dappling on them. It is possible for the dappling to make the edges of the colored spots look almost jagged, more so than they would normally, giving the impression the dog might be a double dapple instead of a dapple parti.</span></div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Given the evidence where these two genes are involved, it can be said that responsible breeding practices are those in which dappling and parti-coloring (at least, pie and exwhite) are kept separate in a breeding program. Or, even better, the breeding program only keep dappling or keep parti-coloring (or neither, if the breeder so chooses) going; if dapples are chosen, they at least get sight-tested, and if partis are chosen, they at least get hearing-tested. If double dapples are pursued, there is testing of both kinds. Pedigrees should be kept and updated, as well as fact-checked, by the conscientious breeder to allow for the greatest accuracy in determining what she has. Frequently inaccurate pedigrees produced by registry organizations alone in no way pass muster.</span><br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</div><span style="line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Again, in the end, it is up to the buyers’ pocketbook to control what is produced by breeders, and the dogs are counting on us to pick breeding practices that come across as sensible and avoid breeders who don’t come across as particularly accountable. If there is obvious white on coats and no hard proof of current (or past) testing to back it up, consider looking elsewhere for a breeder who can show you with authentic, scientific data that she has a good idea of what she is doing. Don’t take “My dogs don’t have problems.” or “He can hear/see something, so I /my vet/my hairdresser says his hearing/sight is perfect.” as an answer!</span></span></div></div>Annie and the Dotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844109976026460422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344746069824716559.post-50890784882233200912011-05-28T14:43:00.000-05:002011-05-28T14:43:04.236-05:00Meet my foster brudder Peanut!!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Yep mom has done brought another doggy home! This time she saved Peanut from a shelter and is fostering him. Some of you may not know but she volunteers for <a href="http://www.fureverdachshundrescue.org/animals/browse?Page=1&Status=Available,Sponsorship">Furever Dachshund Rescue</a>.<br />
<br />
He is very quiet and minds really well. At first mom thought he wasn't housebroken but he has seemed to catch on very well that mom does not allow pottying in the house!<br />
<br />
He is funny when he barks it sounds like a German Shepard! He even scared me a couple of times and you know it is hard to scare a Bloodhound......okay so maybe it's not! The only thing I don't like is he is attached to mom like velcro and I am having a difficult time getting to share the sofa with mom. Now mom let's me get up there by her but it is just too crowded for me!<br />
<br />

<br />
He really likes men and clings to my dad a lot. Well when Sauci my sister dachshund allows it. You know dad belongs to Sauci and even mom gets growled at sometimes when she hugs dad.<br />
<br />
Peanut would be great in a home where he could get lots of cuddle time with his human. He is so quiet and shy and minds so well. He loves it when he is praised for doing something right. Scolding really scares him, so mom only says "No" and he knows he did wrong.<br />
<br />
So if you know someone looking for a sweet loving little dachshund have them visit my brudders Web page at <a href="http://www.fureverdachshundrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=3464168">Furever Dachshund Rescue</a> and tell them Annie the Bloodhound sent ya!Annie and the Dotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844109976026460422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344746069824716559.post-78012983514784792122011-05-15T15:31:00.005-05:002011-05-16T20:08:52.903-05:00#TrooperBash Pawty a Great SuccessThe TrooperBash was a last minute pawty to help a dachshund named Trooper that Furever Dachshund Rescue had taken in and several others that are in great medical need.

I found it I found it! Not sure I can uncover all the dirt.....but if I keep digging it will help. I get some of the wonderful earthy smelling dirt uncovered and then I look around at all the snow and ice everywhere and begin to think this is a job to big for me. Ronan was of no help I don't think he understood the concept of finding dirt.<br />

</a></div>I have cabin fever! The 2011 snow storm turned out to be more of an ice storm and the humans keep me locked up inside, it feels like it will be FOREVER! I have got to get out-----when oh when will the sun come back? I really think someone stole the sun and if they would just let me out of this house for awhile I could probably sniff the suns trail and get it back!<br />
<br />
<br />

</a></div><br />
I searched behind this stack of firewood for a clue, but not even a small scent of the sun radiated from the aged wood. All I could smell was dirt and nasty little beetles hiding in the crevices.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBpUIW-FYvtezWc0QNfiD6fENrmvmzvrfzu3dIWa0dHQMKf_uO4zpVnuWbhJlaLcXK1ZxlIkqNLFB8Iv95POGb2piSuwiWstNBdTwJaV45kmF4znHzhVckaZuVhripKG84i1usl8OQ_k/s1600/S7300171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBpUIW-FYvtezWc0QNfiD6fENrmvmzvrfzu3dIWa0dHQMKf_uO4zpVnuWbhJlaLcXK1ZxlIkqNLFB8Iv95POGb2piSuwiWstNBdTwJaV45kmF4znHzhVckaZuVhripKG84i1usl8OQ_k/s320/S7300171.JPG" width="320" /><br />
</a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
So then I decided to check under these rocks. Nope, all I could smell there were the scents of chipmunks that had hidden their winter stock of hickory nuts deep between the rocks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL39ubolngGmresf_Jm-VZEd6O_NYSovH9BuC3crvD7RCXuleHhdSYUC8Fj4a_GPTjR7AttdusiUx_83nhv7Uw1nlZR509LQwjkL4P32jejjWxAXPdZMnD_dkKfpwmIlrjQ2utPY1B0x0/s1600/S7300177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL39ubolngGmresf_Jm-VZEd6O_NYSovH9BuC3crvD7RCXuleHhdSYUC8Fj4a_GPTjR7AttdusiUx_83nhv7Uw1nlZR509LQwjkL4P32jejjWxAXPdZMnD_dkKfpwmIlrjQ2utPY1B0x0/s320/S7300177.JPG" width="320" /><br />
</a></div><br />
<br />
Then I began my search throughout the cold icy landscape of the woods. Just as I began really searching for the sun what happens? You will never guess! Yep your right the humans call my name demanding I come back in the house.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

</a></div>How is a bloodhound ever supposed to find the sun if the humans don't allow me to search. I have a nose but I am not a miracle worker it will take a little time to find the sun.<br />

I heard word that a groundhog had found the sun! Now that is just not right! What human believes that a groundhog can tell them when the sun will be back? I don't trust any of those nasty rodents. So depressing..............I even think they called him <b><i>Phil</i></b>! <i>Why would you name a rodent!</i><br />

My previous owners could not handle me so they placed me outside at 3 months old, chained to my doghouse by only a 4 foot chain in a low area that collected water when it rained. I could not reach my water bowl and sat in water when it was wet outside. Finally at age 8 months my previous owner spoke to my mom about me. That very night in freezing sleet and snow my current owners drove over 100 miles on back country roads to get me. I am so glad they did. Having been chained to a doghouse for so long I was a wild child and many times I am sure my "Forever Family" questioned why they took me in. But with their love and training I have become a very good house dog and a very happy dog too.<br />
<br />

He was dumped in the middle of a cold snowy winter at a local lake to fend for himself. Poor little guy only weighed about 8 pounds when he was finally caught. Covered in dirt, fleas, and emaciated he was adopted by my "Forever Family" as well. Now he weighs about 14 pounds and is a little love bug.<br />

Ronan's pregnant mom was rescued from a Missouri puppy mill bust. The puppy mill bred double dapple dachshunds. The problem in breeding double dapple dachshunds is that there is a very high risk in birth defects. Yet regardless of this risk if some are born without any birth defects they bring top dollars because of their markings. Unfortunately, Ronan is deaf and blind in one eye and who knows the terrible things that could have happened to him at the puppy mill because of these birth defects. However, Ronan is learning sign language quite quickly and you would never know he has these problems.<br />

Rescue's could not take her in because they are already overwhelmed with cats. So she too has made it to our "Forever Family."<br />
<br />
So please before you consider buying a pet <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">ADOPT FIRST!</span> </b>There are so many that need your help. If you can't adopt help by reposting adoptable pets on social networks, volunteering your time at your local rescue, or even giving a few dollars to your local rescue helps tremendously.<br />

Okay I wish I had a picture of me in the Vet's office. But I have the stories instead. This is so embarrassing!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>The Vet scares the beegeebeeeeeesssss out of this big girl. </b></span></div><br />
I admit it I get so nervous I poop in thier lobby every time. That's the least I can do don't you think? One time I didn't even make it in to the lobby! I pooped right in the backseat of my humans car! My human says I may have to wear diapers on my next visit. I don't think the vet nurses were happy with me because it never is a little poop. It is always at least a <b><i>Pound o' Poop</i></b>!<br />

Oh my it has been interesting here to say the least! First it started with a kitten the human brought home that had been abandoned. She tried to take it to a rescue but they had 62 cats already and said they could not take the baby kitten. I like the kitten! Guess she is going to stay here. Bucky tries to bite at her. He doesn't like cats to much, he just thinks they need to be shipped off some where far far away. But I find the kitten quite interesting. Silly kitten follows me around. Kind of a strange pair we are - a kitten and a bloodhound.<br />

Now I am nervous and slobbering everywhere. When I get nervous I start drooling like a water hose. I had to look twice because at first I thought she drug in a baby possum. Seriously look at him, what do you think?<br />

Well this little guy is wild as a March hare. He is everywhere and barely sleeps. To top that off he is deaf too. I wish I was deaf right now with all this chaos going on. This bloodhound is not sure how much she can take of all this excitement. So I go in the bedroom and lay on my bed to get away. Only to find the kitten following me. I think my human figured out I was stressing so she decided to take me for a ride to the lake. It was so good to get away from it all.<br />
<br />
I guess things will settle down. The humans named the puppy Ronan and are still trying to figure out a name for the kitten. I say name the kitten Scat. But that is just a dog talking. Or how about Annipal? After all she is Annie's pal. She follows me around. I will keep you posted on more excitement to be expected with this young duo.<br />

I love our kitty Romeo! I try to play with him but all I do is annoy him as you can see in this picture. But once in awhile, he will let me give him big slobbery bloodhound kisses. It is so much fun to annoy Romeo!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yep! That is exactly what happened. I was having the best time chewing this pretty blue wash cloth. Of course I hid in the bedroom so human would not see me, or so I thought. When all of the sudden the human appeared. <i>Busted! </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Human told me, "If you love that wash rag that much then maybe you should wear your new designer scarf you made!" Next thing I know I am wearing it. I don't think I want to chew on anymore wash cloths, but if I do I will make sure I chew the edges so I don't have to wear it again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>Kira can balance an empty can on her head! She loves doing this trick. So funny to watch her keep her head a certain way to balance the can. I tried it but my head is too pointed, but it really could be because I couldn't keep still. Nahhhh it was definitely because of my beautiful pointed head.Annie and the Dotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844109976026460422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344746069824716559.post-89581695067630775812010-10-12T08:15:00.000-05:002010-10-12T08:15:17.690-05:00WE ARE NOT "Just a Dog"I had to share this with everyone.

I was just outside to potty when I caught a scent <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">**sniff**—</i> of a deer. I looked up and off it ran and so did I to try and catch it. The human was madly calling for me. I heard them but this was much more important than going back home. Even though I knew I would be in trouble the urge to chase is like an addiction that cannot be stopped. So what’s a bloodhound to do? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">THE CHASE IS ON!<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><i><br />

After about an hour and a half I decided I better get home. As I turned the corner of the cornfield heading down the drive I spotted the human on the porch. OH NO! I am in trouble now. If I sit and hide behind this big oak tree the human will not see me and when they go back in the house I can sneak up to the porch. I heard the human hollering, “Come on Annie I see you, you are not hiding!” I kept ignoring them. Then the human stepped to the edge of the porch where they could see me sitting behind the big oak tree and I saw the hand signal to come there. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Busted!</i> So I reluctantly head toward the house.</div><o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">I went straight to my kennel knowing I was in trouble and listening to the human rant. I was soaking wet from stopping at the pond on the way and playing in the water. I knew what was coming—a shower! Just as I suspected the human came to the kennel took off my collar and off to the shower we went. But all in all getting in trouble again was worth every minute!<o:p></o:p><br />
