I just wondered if anyone was bringing their babies out to the Mardi Gras Barkus Pet Parade next Sunday Febuary 19 in St. Louis, MO.
I'm lucky enough to live in St. Louis, which is great because this is one of the biggest dog parades in the world. Last year we didn't have Tootie yet, but my parents and I took their St Bernard, Pepper.
Would you believe that last year I only saw 2 bassets the whole day, and those were both with the same owner? We have to increase the basset population this year, people!
At this time last year we were just about to start dog looking, and actually I think I had already contacted some of the basset rescues. I think we got Tootie about a month after.
Of course, they also have the famous weiner dog derby that day, which is lots of fun. Here is the website for anyone who wants more info: Mardi Gras Barkus Pet Parade
Tootie is excited already. She will have sooo much fun with all the dogs and people! I know she won't be thrilled with wearing a costume, but I'm going to try.
Tootie is such a feminine girl! I know you will have a blast at the parade.We have been in a couple, and I've come to the conclusion that each dog thinks it's all about him or her- they seem to love the people and the excitement- hope you can post pictures!
I'm sorry to say, we won't be able to attend. I'm sure it'll be a blast though! Last year MABR (a rescue group) had an event at the Dog Museum in Queeny Park, I'm hoping that'll happen again. I'd love to take Cooter this year, I think Leroy's a little too nervous and high strung to attend such an event. I hope you and Tootie have a grand time!
I have a 5 month old Male Basset. We got him when he was 10 weeks old and has been the only dog in the house. Until last week. We got a 2 year old spayed/nurtured Female YorkiPoo and we cant tell if hes being a bully to her or just being a dominant male. Just to give you a little context on the...
Hi
I have a goofy basset named Henry who is almost 3 years old. When he became part of my family, he came with Giardia. That was treated, but later, he began to have a truly unpleasant odor and I learned a few months ago, he had to have his anal glands expressed. Now, the smell and the...
Hi everyone,
Well.. its finally here. Jeremiah comes home Monday at 8 weeks old. I've been reading up on bassetts. I'm a first time owner. He gets micro chipped and 1st set of shots on monday. Just any good positive honest feedback on how to get through the first week with a basset puppy for...
We've got the lovely (3 months old) Emily. We were told she is a full bred basset hound, both parents bassets, but not KC registered. Managed only to see her mum. Was wondering what are your thoughts on whether it is a basset hound or a mix?
Many thanks :)
I am suffering from severe anxiety, and the times have been tough for me. The only last hope for me is my pet, Dixie, who is a 3-year-old basset. I am moving to a new place, but my landlord is not allowing Dixie with me. Can anyone suggest to me what I should do? :mad:
Thanks for any advice.
