Hi Everyone! Sunday is a fun day for Father's day! You know I was thinking and I thought what if my creator had another type of dog? What if she wasn't a Basset Hound kinda gal? There are many different types of dogs just like there are many different people in this world. What kind of animal suits your lifestyle? I found a great site for you to see, click on this link to find out how. http://animal.discovery.com/breed-selector/dog-breeds.html Oh and don't forget to make your dad breakfast! Bottom:)

It's Saturday! and it's Father's day on Sunday! So, Happy Father's day Roggy! and Happy Father's day to my human and animal friends! When I heard that Father's day was coming it made me think of all the happy times I had with my father and how we would run and jump in the brook, lying in the sun after to dry our coats and all the wise advise he would give me. So, yes, we do miss our families. If you want to read more about this, click on this link,

Good Thursday Morning to you! I am off to school today with my creator, she says I have to get "trained" really? Who is training who I ask? Woof! Ha! Ha! From a dogs perspective, it is the other way around as long as you get the basic concept which is this; "What is yours is mine and what is mine is mine." Got it? Good! If you want to read more about the subject of training your dog, click on this link http://www.dog-obedience-training-review.com/ Have a dogrific day! Bottom:)

Tuesday's here to save the day! Yea! Woof! Do you know why I was named, Bottom? Well, I used to wiggle my behind when I walked and instead of calling me wiggle ___, My creator called me, Bottom, Napshyr Belle Bottom is my registered name. Choosing the right name for a pet can be just as important as choosing a human name, if you want to read more about it just click here http://petrix.com/dognames/ Have a wonderful day! and never give up questioning the important things in life! Bottom:)

It's Monday! Time to go to work! Well, maybe for my creator, ooh..I just got a shiver..Why did I shiver? I don't know, I just do from time to time. Sometimes, I get a shiver cause I am cold and sometimes, I get a shiver cause I have a little pain in my back. To learn more about why dogs get a chill or shiver click on this link  http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/my-dog-shivering-trembling I know that for my breed of Basset and for Dachshunds or Teckels shivering is not a good thing and should always be checked out. Have a safe Monday everyone! Bottom:)

Good Sunday Morning Everyone! Stretch..Yawn...Oh it's great to be a dog! Have to go outside soon but, before I do this, My creator says I have to brush my teeth. Imagine a dog brushing her teeth?! Maybe she expects me to hold the brush too? LOL...It is important though, taking care of your pets teeth can help them lead a healthier and longer life. To read more about it click on this article, http://dogs.about.com/od/dogandpuppyhealth/qt/dentalcare.htm at least when I give her a lick, "Hello" she will be happy with my breath..Woof...Have a healthy day and don't forget, when you're done reading 10 books, let me know what your email is so you have a chance to win!

T.G.I.F. Everyone! All the working out this week has not only helped keep me in shape but, boy! have I built up an appetite! I could eat anything! Even this plant over there in the corner. My creator wouldn't be too happy if I did though so, maybe I will beg at the breakfast table for table scraps. Plants can be dangerous to all animals if they are consumed, check out this link, if you want to learn more. http://www.ehow.com/info_8554652_deadly-houseplants-dogs.html and most of all, try to keep your house plants out of reach so we don't have an opportunity to eat them. Have a spectacular Friday! Bottom:)

Good Thursday Morning to you! I feel hungry this morning! Must have been the workout I had yesterday. My creator says that I am slightly overweight and that I must go on a special diet. All those table scraps really add up! She says that being at a good weight is better for my overall health and better for my back. So, if you want to read more about pets and  their weight click here: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/12_9/features/Canine-Weight-Loss-Advice_16158-1.html and have a healthy, happy day!

It's Hump Wednesday!  A couple more days until the weekend, can't wait! Ever wonder why some animals have humps on their backs and some don't? For example the Camel has a hump on their backs, and they don't need a tremendous amount of water like I do. I always get a fresh bowl of water a couple of times a day from my creator. Dehydration can be a serious threat to us animals.

Tuesdays are always on my mind, la, la woof! Nothing like waking up singing with the birds or chasing them...Do you know that a Basset's main function was to hunt badgers? Yes, it's true, I am supposed to be a predator. Other hounds like myself are designed for hunting other small animals such as Rabbits.

Monday is incredible! Are you barked up and ready to face a great day? Today I get a bath, Oh how I love to be pampered! Splashing around in the tub and just being washed is the most amazing feeling. Some of my animal friends don't like it too much because they aren't sure just what humans are doing but, I know and I love it! To read more about bathing your pet click on this link: http://dogs.about.com/od/grooming/ss/bathingy.htm

Remember, be careful not to get the pet soap in their eyes and try to be gentle putting your pet in and out of the tub. Have a stupendous day everyone! Bottom:)

Sunday is here! I get to share a wonderful breakfast with my creator! I love people food! Is it bad for me? Well, I am not sure but, I think so. Dog food is specially prepared for me and made so it is easy to digest. People food is not always easy to digest such as spicy food or foods that are sweet. If you would like to learn more about how food affects me click on this link: http://dogtime.com/giving-people-food-to-dogs.html Just be careful not to feed your dog foods that can harm their systems. Have an illuminating Sunday Everyone! Bottom:)

Good Saturday Morning All! It's raining here today and I am going to entertain myself by doing what I know best, chasing the neighbors cat. Of course, when I was young, I grew up with a cat named, Mortimer but, I was too little to really enjoy the benefits of cat chasing. Now, love it! There is nothing more satisfying then seeing the fear in my feline friends eye when I chase her around the yard. Don't get me wrong, I am not a mean dog, but, fun is fun! Want to read more about cat and dog chasing? Click on this link: http://www.wisegeek.com/why-do-dogs-chase-cats.htm Enjoy your chasing day! Bottom:)

It's the weekend, Friday! My creator and her family get to stay home with me. Yea! Does your pet shed? I know, I do, all over the place. Animals need to get rid of their winter coats so that they can deal with the Summer months. It can get messy with all that dander and hair! If you would like to read more about shedding, click on this link: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5208382_do-dogs-shed-hair_.html Bark! I hope you have a hair free weekend and a pleasant Friday!
