BHRQ VAN NOW

PASSENGER SIDE

Yes BHRQ cannot function without mobility.. S**T...

Sometimes I can't win

.. A basset needed to be picked up yesterday and was by my brother in my dodge van.. Well yesterday wasn't a great day to be out but I had little else I could do it was about 11:30 when he left.. This should have taken 3 hours round trip. .. and so still unable to drive or walk for that matter I handed him the keys and the Mapquest directions and off he went..

.. Well at around 6:30 I get a call from him asking me to call 911 he was in the ditch and hurt.. I called for him and called him back.. Oh Helen the van every window blew out.. I asked how is the dog.. he said shook up but also limping.. finally the OPP and ambulance and tow truck arrived.. the OPP took the dog to the vet in Hawksbury Jim was taken to the Hawksbury hospital.. Well Jim is badly bruised with fractured ribs.. I went to see the van today.. it's a write-off.. I only had one way insurance so I am basically SOL..

.. Yup always exciting at BHRQ

Melody & Gustave Have Forever Homes

.. Well at least its some good news these two will have fabulous homes and slaves.. The Universe can supply the right family for the right basset.. I just need to be patient.. Melody has gone to live with another BHRQ basset named Virgile.. and Gustave is teaming up with a gal basset 2 years his senior.. I always feel bassets do best in pairs..

A Minute Can Change Your Life

Well I went to the JGH today to see Dr. Baron my rheumatologist.. he checked me over.. sent me for blood work.. he thinks that maybe I have lupus.. he put me back on the Lyrica 300mg. and something called Dilaudid for pain management.. I also have to go for another EMG test ASAP

Oh Joy...

Samson Adopted Yay

... Well Samson finally has his forever home with another basset so not alone.. I'm sure he misses Gabby.. Alas he is secure that is all I can wish for my bassets..



Looking Good

Bailey R.I.P.

A last entry for Bailey's foster diary.

Monday my foster Mom just installed dogwatch fencing at her new home in Gananoque. Inspite of my challenges she had arranged to keep me while spending half time in Ottawa and half in Kingston/Gananoque. Unfortunately I won't be using that yard. I passed peacefully in Sherry's arms earlier today. After returning Friday's breakfast I stopped eating and x-rays showed a large quantity of liquid in my abdominal cavity that was largely blood with a very low white cell count.

Perhaps when Sherry has had a chance to morn my passing some other needy dog will get to use my yard.

Gabby R.I.P.

.. Monday Gabby suffered several seizures.. she went to the vet and they kept her there taking various tests.. on an IV drip.. she showed little improvement wednesday.. today she was much worse.. she had a very hard life before coming here living outdoors under a truck for 6 years no matter the weather.. bred ...I was mad as a hatter when I was told of Gabby and her mate Samson.. but the last few weeks she knew what it felt like to be loved and cared for by two great fosters now Samson has lost his mate.. Gabby will be sadly missed..

Been A Tough Few Weeks For Me

.. I have been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for many many years and have it for the most part under control... although you never really have it under control as it can flair up at any time.. I woke up recently unable to feel my lower legs.. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy.. Its going to take time I'm told to get this under control so please bear with me if I'm not writing daily..but know BHRQ really really needs fosters .. while I'm recovering

Balou's Leg

.. This was Balou's leg leaving the hospital.. now its weeks of recovery then more xrays to see if the plate and screws can be removed..

Gabby & Samson Settling In..

.. This is a far cry from living under a truck in gravel..



Thank Goodness for Wonderful Fosters I & S

Balou Had His Surgery

.. Well yesterday morning Balou had his surgery and the report is good... the plates and screws are holding the bones.. Now he must endure time to heal with a follow-up in 4 weeks.. His post-op will be in Ottawa.. where he can recover under the watchful eyes of AJ.
He may come out tomorrow so I'll update as I can..

Gabby & Samson Arrive

... My goodness these two are in awful shape.. not only emaciated and dehydrated but teeth full of tartar.. Samson a badly infected paw... infested with fleas.. Yes not good at all.. but now they are here and have been cleaned up .. been to the vet.. Samson has meds to take care of his paw.. Their teeth will have to wait as I don't want to have them go into surgery so soon after their sterilizing.. Here they are the night I got them..



Hopefully in about a month there will be a great change.. thanks to their foster parents..

Ahhhhhhhhh

... My cell phone after one of these characters got it..



I loved this old model... not complicated.. s**t

HOWL-O-WEEN PARTY

Hi Basseteers..

We thought of doing a HOWL-O-WEEN Party for the dogs on October 24th.. 1:00-5:00 at the Beaurepaire United Church in Beaconsfield... We have had a volunteer step up to do doggy loot bags.. another dessert.. another suggested to do a potluck for us.. Where everyone can bring something goolishly delightful.. wink... It can be with costumes.. both dog and slave..

# Bow-Wow Buffet: Waddle your Basset over to the Bow-Wow Buffet where you'll find a dazzling array of doggie treats that will tempt even the most finicky Basset!
# Howliday Hat or Costume Contest: Break out your hound's Howliday finest and let them strut their stuff!! Lotsa good stuff at the Dollar stores or Value Villages..

Pot-Luck Buffet For Us: Bring your favorite dish for the Pot-Luck Buffet. (Please let us know what you would like to bring so we don't have too many duplicates.) The wider the variety and amazing dishes would be well received.. You won't go home hungry (and neither will the Bassets)!


Howliday Raffle: A variety of hound and howliday items to take a chance on - that is always great fun.
Silent Auction...

Let me know ASAP.. So I'll have numbers.. bhrq@bassethoundrescuequebec.com

Beaurepaire United Church

Another One Coming In

.. This little girl is 7 months old.. they don't have time for her.. I wish people would research the breed before just buying one..

Samson & Gabby

... Meet Samson and Gabby.. these two souls have been living outside in gravel under an old truck for shelter... it just breaks my heart to see such neglect.. Samson is terribly thin.. Gabby well she has been used as a breeder..





notice Samson trying to go under the truck.. These two need homes.. or fosters..
