A Day in Basset World With Bullet

Moving Day

Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to let everybody know that me, Harley, Sargie and Mika moved to Birmingham, Al. That was quite a ride, 14 hours. I never been on a trip that long before. But we had fun. Mom drove, and we rode in the back seat. We followed Dad guardian. He was driving a great big truck called a U-Haul. Mika was the lucky one, he got to ride with Dad guardian in the big truck. We made stops along the way and me and the boys got out to stretch our legs then we would hop back in the car and ride some more. I didn't know where we were going at first, Mom guardian just said we were moving to Birmingham. I didn't know where Birmingham was, accept that it took a long time to get there.
Me and Sargie slept most of the way and Harley laid on the big box in the back and looked out the window. We just kept on riding.

Then Mom guardian pulled into a place called Arby's, hey this smells like food...... Well me and the boys sat up and took notice. This lady came on a speaker and talked to Mom Guardian, then she drove around the side and the lady in the window gave her food. It smelled so good.....me and the boys were getting excited. FOOD. FOOD. Mom pulled over to a parking space and we got our treat. Yummy roast beef sandwiches and curly fries. Well, after we ate, we got back in the car and drove some more. With full stomachs we went back to sleep and enjoyed our ride. Then Mom guardian said " Hey, Boys" were in Leeds, we're almost home". Well, I didn't know where Leeds was and sure didn't know where home was. We only knew one place as home in Bowie, where we could chase squirrels, find baby racoons, watch other dogs and their guardians walk down the street. We didn't know if we could call this new place home unless it had the same things for us boys to have fun with. Well, we finally pulled up to a place Mom called our new home. Well it looked ok, we had to get out and check it out........When we saw a ...........Well, that's my next story.

My Birthday Party

Well, Friday October 6th was my 1st Birthday. I had the best Birthday. Mom and Dad guardian gave me a Birthday Party on Sunday morning. It was a surpise to me, because I didn't know that dogs got Birthday Parties. I knew that Mom and Dad had given gifts and had cake for the human birthdays, but I just thought that it was a human thing. Well, Mom made it a doggie thing, too. My Mom guardian is the best. She pulled together a party just for me.
We had Birthday cake, puperoni, dog bones and biscuits, and gifts. She was real quite about it, she didn't say a word. Me, Harley & Sarg all woke up Sunday morning and did all the things we Bassets are routine to do, go potty, eat breakfast and then play outside a while. While, we were playing, Mom put together my party, so when she called us in, she met us at the door with new scarfs and party hats. We went inside and Dad was in the living room ready with the camera. Well, we just had a blast. First, Dad made pictures of all of us with our new hats and scarfs and then we when over an checked out the table, Goodies!!!!!! We had bones, puperoni, and a Cake ( Carrot and Peanut Butter ). Mom took the cake and put in on a towel on the floor and we dug in. It was soooooo good. I never had cake before, that was the best stuff I ever ate. After a few minutes, Mom took up the cake because she didn't want us to get sick with all the treats around. Then it was gift time. She got me, Harley and Sarg a brand new stuffed toy. We all played with the toys for a while and then we got tired. So needless to say we needed a nap. Too much excitement for one morning. Well, I must say I have a neat family to give me and the boys a party. And I also, must say that Mika came down stairs for the the party, and he never come down stairs. But, I quess he wanted in on the action.
Well, I need to go for now. I wonder? What are they going to do for Christmas? Can't wait.
Love,
Bullet

My New Family Members

Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to write and let everybody know about my new family members, Harley and Sarg. Mom and Dad guardians have been wanting to get me a pal so I would not be a only dog. They have look around for a while, then they found Harley and Sarg at one of the rescues here in Maryland. Harley and Sarg are the best buddies. They love to play and go for walks, just like me. Harley looks a lot like me ( mahogany and white ) and Sarg is a tricolor. We are having the best time playing together in the yard. Harley loves to chase me and I like to make him run. It keeps us in shape. I think Harley gets a little tired of me sometimes, because he will go over and sit in the chair when he's done playing with me. However, Sarg and I love to play fight and we look like we are biting each other, but we are just playing, not really biting. Mom guardian would have a fit if we were really biting each other. But we just like to scare her sometimes.
Dad guardian calls us Bullet and the Boys or The Basset Brigade because when we go for our walks we get a lot of attention from dogs and people. The people think we are sooo cute. The dogs just want to bark at us and we cause a commotion because we bark back. Anyway, we are having fun. Next, week we have to all go for our grooming appointment, Look out Petsmart, here comes the Basset Brigade again. I bet they say, Oh No, Not Them Again.
All for now. Be sure to check out Harley and Sarg's web page.
