Ben`s views

This is how Ben feels about being so ill lately, and being poked and stuck with all those needles!

Ben`s blood values are coming down, thank Dawg! He is still not himself but getting better with the insulin shots!

On wednesday, the 2 Basset Hound girls Emma and Doris arrived for their Western Norway holliday. They`ll be staying to 2 and a half weeks.

My boys have been having a power struggle going after we lost Clara. But as soon as the Girls arrived, it stopped.

Just goes to show, Boys brawl, Girls RULE!

I nearly lost my Ben thursday night. He got acute Diabetes, but we can`t figure out why.His blood tests were weird, not fitting anything my vets could think of. But he gets insulin now, and it seems to help all weird blood levels. He is getting a little fed up with needles now, but he really is a trooper! More patient than I would be!

When I bought this place 2 years ago, it was a mess.To the right of the house, there was a 10 feet tal thorn bush, no garden, lots of garbage and a zillion rocks.

After 2 years of slow work, I have dug the whole place up. Painted and planted. My last project was a wire fence from the back of the house, along the right, ending in a picket fence. My yard and garden is now fenced in an Basset Hound Proofed! Just look at the huge difference 2 years can do!

I am sooooo prowd of myself!

Horrah! I am so happy!!! Bumblee, a Basset Hound I have been sponsering in Alabama got his Forever Home accepted today!! Way to go Bumblee! In a few weeks time, he`ll have his very own, new family of humans and dogs, to love him for the rest of his life!

I have almost finished the last part of my new fence. The fenced in yard will be twicew as large, and incorporates my garden too. I can close this part off for winter. I don`t want my boys getting a snowslide from the roof on their heads. This last peice of the fence is a picket fence, I`ll paint it white......DAWG, I am getting all romantic LOL

I picked my first strawberries from my own garden tonight. They were soooo sweet! YUMMMM. I shared them with The Boys. I don`t knoe who were drooling the most, me or the Hounds. And there are LOTS more green ones on the plants! I guess I`ll have to try out the 11 recepies of Cheesecake friends have given me. And top the cakes with Strawberries!
Ok , I admit it: I am a Cheesecake`o`holic.....

YUCK!! Cryton brought me a dead bird this morning...he probably think I need extra meat for lunch or something. FINE, I may need fattening up, but this is NOT my idea of a good meal.

Now, fried peices of chicken on a mixed,sallad bed....with hot peanut sauce, followed by Cheesecake......THAT is a meal! I can do without the feathers Cryton....


And now to learning Computerish.

I wonder it there is any way to display peoples comments on my page.....
I tried the HELP section.... I am sorry to say, I don`t speak C well enough to understand the "help" it provides..... If I understood all it says, I probably wouldn`t need the Help pages anyway!

HELLOOOOO you people who make Help pages: how about helping us Computer Analphabets, like me,in plain language?? With a nice translation underneath? Who knows, I might actually learn something then.

I mean, what is THIS supposed to mean??

I am soooo proud of myself! I have actually uploaded pics, made links and written in a blog tonight! Who would`ve belived it!
I had help of course, but don`t tell anyone. Let it be our secret.
Let them all be amazed that I, me, have started to talk Computerish!

So here I am, trying to Blog for the first time...
Thank Dawg I get expert help setting it up.
I just couldn`t get The Beast to cooperate....( The beast is my computer)

I actually think this could be fun, when I figure it all out, that is.

My Basset Boys are looking at me and shaking their heads. They don`t seem to have much confidence in me.
I`ll show them...in time...
