Well for Dogness Sake!

Dere's an error in my pwevious diary entry. I thinks I might have to get anuffer typist if dis one is going to make 'stakes.

Hooman sisser did NOT tell Mama about my Dogster of the Day honor.

My fwiend, Daisy, her mama, Wendy, told my mama. And den Daisy sent me a dewicious steak!

I is a lucky Scout Levi Wonder Basset to have such good fwiends to send steaks & cakes!

OH MY DOGNESS!!!

Mama just woke up from the coma she normally lives in & saw that I am DOG OF THE DAY! (the only reason she knows is cuz hooman sisser told her about it!)

That is just about da most exciting thing to ever happen to me!

And I gots a steak from Daisy. THANKS, Daisy!

Then I saw I had lots of cakes on my page too. I was so excited I didn't even stop to see who dey were from. I just know I lubs cakes and I'm so thankful for all of dem.

I want to accept my Dog of the Day honors by first thanking my Daddy & The Clinic Girls. Wifout dem I would not be living wif Mama. Also, BIG BIG thanks go to the doctors at the surgery center who fixed my broken back. OUCH! Dat hurt a lot! Wifout doze docs I would not eben be ALIVE! So I am berry berry grateful for dem. (Mama says she is grateful, too.)

Dog of the Day is a berry special honor & even dough I only knows about it for a few minutes as dis day ends [turns to glare at Mama] I will do my best to live up to being worthy of such an honor.

Thank you, fwiends & thank you, Dogster!!!!

Almost My Birfday

Tomorrow Daddy & I celebrate our birfdays.
I'll be FIVE!!!
Daddy is a multiple of 5 -- whatever dat means.

Mama made our birfday dinner last night and I got woast beef wif some gwavy. Boy oh boy it was soooo dewicious! I licked that bowl completely clean! I even shared some wif my lab a door
tree reever sister.

I not sure 'zactly what mama has planned for my birfday pawty but I know it will be fun. I bet I get lots of velvet ear rubs. Dat's my favowite thing!

Today mama made me a Birfday Collage. It has pictshures from when she very first laid eyes on me. She was SO surprised. And so happy that daddy & her girl fwiends gave me to her. (Interesting note: I was born ON DADDY'S BIRFDAY & Daddy gave me to mama as HER BIRFDAY pwesent in April. Guess I'm just a b
Birfday Basset!) And in my collage is a pictshure of me wif my big bruvver Scout, now gone to da Bridge. I love him! Dere's a pictshure of me licking my grandpa's head (BOL!) and I wuv da pictshure of me nappin' in da leaves. Dat is so relaxin' !!

Tanks for visitin' my page and sharin' some memories wif me!

A Rainy Day Bodes Well For Me

It's raining squirrels & robins. All day.

I'm in the house looking out.

Mama puts on her shoes.

OH NO SHE ISN'T!!!!

If she's going for a drive, so am I.
I run to where my harness & leash are and I do my cute basset dance that ALWAYS gets me what I want.

"Ok, Silly Scout. You can go too, but you'll have to stay in the car."

Yeah yeah yeah. WhatEVER. Just put the hardware on me and LET'S GO!

I get in the car. Hmmmm. The second row just doesn't feel right today. I climb into the front seat and sit properly. This is better. Except....
what in the WORLD? What [duck] are those[duck] black things[duck] going back and[duck]forth on the windshield???

"Scout? Are you afraid of the windshield wipers?"

Huh? Me, Scout Levi, The Wonder Basset afraid? Of course NOT!

So I rode & waited, rode and waited. Then I moved to the very back row of the van. A whole different view from back there! (and none of those black back & forthy things). Rode some more, waited some more.

Now I'm snug at home.

Today was a Rainy Day but it sure did bring me some fun!!
