Hiya basset pals! i'm here, i'm here... thanks, Pais, for checkin' on me... that was very sweet of you.
i was like RVW (ripvanwinkle) and have been asleep for 2 days.
well, guess what??? i got 2nd place in the Marathon Napping contest...! i was surprised and not expecting to win anything. i'll show you the trophy i got later in my pics. i think i want to do marathons like that when i grow up. or become a writer (you can see i have lots to write...)
i tried the swimming contest (have to go through a kiddy tub of water), but i refused to get in. well, whad'ya expect? i never been in water like that before.
there was a drooling contest, but my person said 'don't bother' cause i don't drool enough. i also tried the howling contest, but i never howled before in my short life, including that day, so didn't get very far. we were late, so i missed the kissing contest
bummer. but... sleeping... that i can do
i made a good basset friend there named Low Fat and we played for a looooong time together. i'll show you a pic of us at it. they named him low because he's low and fat, because he's just gonna get fatter... but he's 1 1/2 yrs old, so we had a blast.
well, when i got home from the Basset Games, i was so pooped. my person thought it might be dangerous to try having me swim when i was soooo tired. plus it was a colder weekend and overcast. so, i did not get to try swimming this weekend
but very soon, i hope.
hee hee... wanna hear about my eating adventures on the way up?? all this happened during different stops on my 8-hr car ride.
First, i found an apricot. my person let me chew on it, and was going to take it away when i got to the pit. surprise! i swallowed it whole including the pit, before she could take it..! hee hee. Second, grandpoppie was in the car and left a bag in there. it had a granola bar and crackers in it, and yup, i polished those off while they went to get bagels. Third, i got strapped in my seatbelt for a minute, so i wouldn't keep getting into the food in the car. no matter. i turned my long basset body around in the passenger seat and reached around to the back seat and ate the rest of my treats from my treat bag. yum yum. it was my culinary adventure.
ok, the last thing that happened was grandpoppie got mad at me because while we were on the freeway, my bootie shifted the gears of the car from Drive to Neutral. yikes. that was not so good. but we are ok. my person says we really need to get a different car. i say i want one like a jeep like Woody's and Bernie's...!

Paisley, do you have pics of your outing from the beauty parlor? i bet ya look beeyouteeful.

Annie-- hope to see ya next time!
McFrecks-- i entered the raffle that had lotsa gift baskets. one had a thundershirt in it! if i won it, i would have sent it to ya.... but, i didn't win : (
well, those are my updates. i been outta commission till now, 'cause i was soooo tired. i bug my person for pics, but she hasn't gotten around to emptying the camera yet. i'll post pics when i get 'em.
--peace out, Worm
