hi andysmom
I would love it if westy were with a babe and too busy to post :)
Lulu likes walking round the apartment complex across street
she hopes to find lotsa people to pet her
plus they all own cats, who go in and out of bushes
so she sniffs the bushes
and she finds it an interesting place to be
even tho there is no traffic early on saturday morning
the apt complex turned out to be beehive of activity
the yardworkers were all out mowing and trimming
and new tenants were moving in cause it is first Saturday of month
I felt too shy to be strolling around with Lulu in the midst of all that
so we returned home
it was already very hot and very bright even tho it was before 8am
I stopped to chat with Cora, who has dogs, cats, bunny rabbits, and iguanas in her yard
but because Cora has metal leaning up half the fence
Lulu could not see in, and could not see the wonderland in Cora's yard
she is too short
so we came home
Love, Palo

whenever you ask bout Lulu she feels your presence and comes in
so now she is lying next to me
with her long ears covering her eyes to keep out the bright light
I can't figure out how she can be so chubby when all she eats is krafts singles

Poor Lulu, unable to see into Coras yard.....she should make a little peephole, low to the ground, so that Lulu could see in...Lulu would really love that, a personal peephole..

I could never figure out how Helga got to be so chubby either...all she ate was her dog food, same as the other dogs, and then they got doggie biscuits for treats...and table scraps only very rarely....Of course, she did have her bakery cookies, but that was only towards the end of her life, when the hubby treated her like an invalid queen...

Some bassets, I guess, are just meant to be chubby...our vet even tried the diet doggie food, and we followed that to the letter, ,and nothing worked...so the vet(who so loved our Helga), just grinned and said, he was going to leave her along...and aside from having a tooth pulled, she was never ever sick, and lived to be almost 13(which is pretty old for a basset)....

So altho she was a porker, she was a happy, long lived porker....
