Wworm

An update... after not meeting any basset hounds for months and months, and wondering if they even exist? except virtually? we went to the dog park one day and met a lady with 3 basset hounds. Rosie, Henry, and Daisy Mae. Henry looks a lot like Worm (bigger version), and a couple times when he was running around, I thought he was Worm.

Then we met up w/a guy with 2 gals and here's a pic with Worm and Sally. Also some coonhounds, as apparently, there's even less of them, so they joined and met through the basset hound group.

We finally found a basset hound group around here with a meeting that we can make! So Worm is excited about our excursion tomorrow with a group of basset hounds. Here is the description (shallb, you should come join us w/your bassets if you can!):

Come join us for our monthly walk along the beach at Fort Funston! This is a dog-friendly beach where the temperatures can be 10-30 degree's cooler than when you left your house, so bring a sweater/jacket just in case! We meet at the upper parking lot near the Port-O-Potty' s before heading down the steep steps to the beach. When we get to the beach, the hounds usually stop to run & play before we start walking north along the shoreline. Don't worry about letting you hound off-leash... it's amazing how they like to stay together (although not always, but usually!)! The climb up the cliff is tough due to the soft sand, so you may have to take your time, but so do I, so we can go up together! :-) The walk usually takes us 2 hours from start to finish and is a total of 2 miles walking. There isn't any handicap access to get to the beach, but there are plenty of paths up top that you can follow. Please e-mail or call Gwen by Friday to let us know you are coming, so we know who we have to wait for!! Hope to see you there! And like I always say - The more, the merrier!!
p.s. any group over 10 hounds will require at least 1 group photo!! :-)

lol about meeting at the Port-O-Potty's-- i am sure the hounds love that! (yuck)

hi wworm (the two W's make me wanna say, "Wuh-Worm")
so here's the deal... my peeple are going on a weekend excursion.
he human is going out of town so he can run 13.1 miles and she human is going too so she can watch him. there's no treats or bacon involved. I cannot figure out why he'd wanna run like that. anyhoo, I'm going over to the grand-humans' house to stay. They're gonna' baby me and give me treats! Woot! They also have a giant 9 foot deep water bowl outside.
I
CANT
WAIT

but this is the first time HE/SHEhuman have been away from me since they brung me home. hope they don't drool out of their eyes again. I feel so humiliated for them.

Chuck is jealous that you two have fun adventures this weekend! He's excited that Mommy & Daddy have next week off to spend at home on stay-cation though. He is "grunting" with excitement...well, not really...he grunts all the time. Daddy thinks mommy is silly because she can almost copy it perfectly.

Annie and I tend to say "Wormie" when talking together about Mr Wworm.

We are also jealous of Worm and Esther's adventures for the weekend! Have fun!!

Thanks everyone! boy i sure have some creative pals re: my name!

Chuck, stay-cation is great!! it means your mommy & daddy will be around ALL the time and that means more hours of spoiling you.

Estha-- how was the 9-foot water bowl?

Boomer's Mom

Awww, man, you guys have all the fun! My momma has to go to work today, so we can't go to the park like we wanted. *pout*

I did get to go to work with daddy on Friday, that was lots of fun! I'm a very good co-driver.

Esther

Didnt know what to do at first.
Alone with the grandparents. I barked myself to sleep at night.
But I was GOOD. and I got extra treats and got to drink out of the big water dish in the backyard. The regular humans came and got me yesterday. He human walks funny.
