This and that

Hey Everybody

Droopy here! We hope everybody had a wonderful valentine's day!

So you might be wondering why I have a black blanket. Well it's not a blanket it's part of my costume for my favorite event of the year!

Barkus is approaching!!!!!!!!!!

For our friends who don't know Barkus is a dog-only parade! And it is the bestest doggie event in New Orleans! Hurray!!!!!! Plus the theme this year is Broadway!

On to more normal everyday doggy stuff. Here are some pictures from our post ear-cleanin' freak-out!

Can you believe that Kayah has the dirtiest ear in the house?!?!??! We blame in on the labra-dork in her!

And just so you don't miss him, Professor Mickey says "Clean ears are important!"

Mickey is currently spending time at the V-E-T cause his weird bump came back! Even though he's a CheeseHound FosterDude we still love him lots! Please keep your paws crossed for him.

Sniff ya later,

Droopy, Smiley, Kayah, and Mickey

P.S. If anybody can guess Smiley and Droopy's costume we might have to send them something extra special in the mail!

Still here

Hey everybody! We are still here!! Momma's been sick then the computer got sick too!

Kayah's heartworm treatment is going super duper well and Smiley's ears are all healed!

Plus this cute man has been staying with us.

His name is Mickey. Can you guess why?

Then Mickey had an emergency bump and had to have splurgery!

He is super sweet but very tall!

We hope all our doggie bloggie friends are well and staying warm!

Slobbers,

Droopy, Smiley, and Kayah (and Mickey)

Kayah starts heartworm treatment!

Hey everybody! Droopy here

We need lots of good doggie vibes for Kayah. She started heartworm treatment today.

Heartworm treatment is a very scary thing for a pup to go through. The v-e-t takes a big needle and injects medicine into your back and it starts killing all these scary worms that are stuck to the doggie's heart. The doggie has to stay very calm and there can be no walkies or running around or any fun for weeks and weeks!!!!

While Kayah is at heartworm treatment Smiley and I hung out with Momma and napped alot. But then Momma said it was time for BATHS!!!!

But then we got tasty treats for being such good girls!!! Hurray!!!

So much for a healthy new year

Hey everybody! Smiley here!

How exciting this is my first post!!!

Well we had all hoped for a happy and healthy new year. We've done pretty well with the happy but for me not so much with the healthy! I had to go to the vet!!

First off my ears have been kinda itchy and I'd been shaking my head a fair amount. Momma thought I had ear mites but when she checked my ears she didn't see any. Then Sunday night she noticed I had funny lump on both ears. They were soft squishy bumps. Momma said it was time to go to the vet so off we went Monday morning.

Can you see how they tortured me?!?!?!?

Well my funny lumps were hematomas, or little pockets of blood in my ears! All the shaking I had done caused me to break blood vessels in both my ears. Ruh-roh! Well the vet thought that maybe I had an ear infection, which was causing me to shake my head. The vet then said Momma had to leave me at the vet, which was no fun!

They made me take a nap and when I woke up they had flushed out my ears and drained my funny lumps. What did my lumps do to them?!?! Well I've been pretty groggy since then but my ears are feeling much better except when Momma puts those stupid ear drops in!

And just so you don't miss them here are Droopy and Kayah, packing up the Christmas decorations!

Well time for any other nap for me!

Momma P.S. I feel like a horrible Basset mom. I let one of my dogs get an ear infection and I didn't notice. Ugh! Please don't call Doggie Protective Service on me! Guess we need to be more vigilant on how dirty Smiley's ears are.

Christmas and Droopy's Gotcha Day

Hey everybody! Droopy here!

We hope everybody had a great Christmas cause we sure did! We got some real neat presents.

We got a really cool puzzle game! And loads of plush toys and rawhide bones!

And a really comfy blanket from our friends, Missy and Cisco.

Momma also got this really cool basset necklace.

And this guy showed up Christmas Day. We've named him Nick.

But the bestest Christmas present was

ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Momma got me as a Christmas present 12 years ago! That picture is of me and Momma the first day we met. Let's just say it was love at first sight and she refused to put me down the entire day! And we've been together ever since!

We hope you all had a great Christmas and have a great New Year!

Merry Christmas

Everyone here at the Cheesehound household would like to wish all the bloggie doggies and their humans a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!

Lots of slobber,

Droopy, Smiley, Kayah, and the Humans

Quiet days

Hey everybody! Droopy here

It's been very quiet around here so we haven't had much to blog about. Momma's computer is having issues with getting pictures on it so this will be a post without photos.

Smiley and I have been going to work with momma a whole bunch.

Kayah got to go to work too! But she didn't go play with all the other pups. Kayah had to go to the Southern Animal Foundation (or SAF) to get medicine to get ready for her heartworm treatment. SAF is the V-E-T that the rescue group Kayah belongs to goes to. They offer low cost check ups and spay and tutorings!

Plus our friend Violet is staying over at our house this week! She's an honorary basset while she stays with us, even though she's really a pitbull!

Well that's all for now. Hopefully we will be able to post pictures soon cause this post is really boring without pictures!

Sniff ya later,
