Spring has Sprung - A Bassett Poem

Spring has Sprung - A Bassett Poem

Misty rains,
wash away the
silently melting snow.

Damp wet mud,
squishy leaves,
a backyard full of p'oo.

Birds chirping,
Squirrels lurking,
Dogs being walked too.

Spring has Sprung
Surely as bells are rung,
To harken dawning days.

New Spring days
filled with sticks and twigs
and hours and hours to play.

New Year's Bash

While my parents were away in Delaware of all places, I hung out with my downtown friends over New Years.
The party was pretty happening, until the daycare people broke it up around 8pm - booo!
All in all though, it was pretty fun - I got to hang out with a couple of other Basset dudes, and bunch of my Pug, Beagle and Weimeraner buddies. We pretty much ran around all day, barked, chewed on our bones... you know.. the uzh.
There's some pictures of me at the day care that my parents took - apparently these guys have close circuit cameras running all the time! They need to rewrite some privacy laws or something.

Gifts

Things I received today:
1. One HUGE candy cane shaped tube filled with tons of milk bones
2. A pack of Greenies... I dont think my parents are trying to tell me something about my breath, no
3. A peanut butter lollipop
4. Scraps of toilet paper (ok, stolen, not received)

Today, I'm a happy, happy Basset.

The First

Woof. Or should I say -Barooooooo.
I am Sam, Basset. I live in Minneapolis with my parents. Why a diary you ask ? Well it has been a particularly lazy weekend here at 3111.
I know, I know, Christmas, long weekend, parents' both work in year-end sensitive work-environments, surely they deserve to lay around for three consecutive days. In fact, you might say that as a dog who lays around all day myself, I am no one to make judgements.
But, let me be honest - I find myself bored out of my mind, and there's still 8 hours to go before the weekend is officially over. With the new year around the corner, I figured this was as good a time as any to start something new, like a diary. I'm also going to use this space to drop MAJOR HINTS for my mom and dad. Like right now I am NOT craving a nice juicy roll of toilet paper. mmmmm.

Bawhoooooooo.
