Marion left today…I was very upset! When I got back from our jog, I ran through the house looking for her. Then I jumped up on the couch and whined as I waited for her to return. Dad did keep … Continue reading →

We took another look at the Basset Back Ridge fire area today with Marion. I was in a prancing mood, what with the cool weather and clearing skies. We wandered around Basset Back Ridge. Great place for me now, cuz … Continue reading →

Cold, gloomy day today. But Marion sure brightened the day up for me. We took a walk on the Mickelson Trail in the morning. I did find decent fall colors even under the gray sky. Burgers at Remember When, yum. … Continue reading →

Marion’s here! Marion’s here! Yup, she came in today, just to see me and bring me treats. How about that? Well, I could woof a long story about my day, but I’ve got plenty to do right now. However, I … Continue reading →

In town, the trees are starting to peak with fall color. This is really late in the season. Not that I’m complaining, since I’m willing to see the winter be shorter for a longer fall. Pretty darn nice day, so … Continue reading →

Dad and I were sauntering along the Mickelson Trail this morning when my ears caught the sound of B1 bombers. I peeped up to the sky and sure enough there they were. I let dad know right away, “Look, up … Continue reading →

Some days sure keep a basset busy. Dad and I had a full plate of hiking and hiking and hiking. I had a terrific time. In the afternoon, we spent time with Abigail, Annee, and Ben. We took a hike … Continue reading →

Rather ugly morning so I sought out the last of any wildflowers that I could find and hunkered down next them, catching a little bit of color after a dreary, gray morning, don’t you see. Afterwards I pleaded to the … Continue reading →

While on Portrait Rock this morning, I was daydreaming about pouncing from the rock onto a mountain lion silly enough to come by while I’m here. Okay, okay, I guess I should give the poor kitty a chance. Yup, in … Continue reading →

It occurred to me this morning that you had not seen the other side of the Basset Crossing sign. Well, I needed a rest and a snack after our long jog, so here is the sign with a bit of … Continue reading →
