2nd Fiddle Wants to Know...

I got my first email question!

"Help. We have a new hound in the house and I just don't know what to do! I'm scared he'll get all the attention and I won't be the favorite one anymore. Should I be mean and try and scare him off?" 2nd fiddle

Is he being mean to you? If not, don't be mean to him. Do you know his background yet? Is he a puppy, did he come from a shelter? You need to try and understand him a little. He may be happy to just have a home finally. I don't think you have to worry about playing 2nd fiddle. Maybe your parents got him so you would have a friend to play with when they aren't around.

When I first came into my home, I was the "new dog." Sherlock had been in the house for 5 years already. But you know what, he wasn't mean to me. He took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. You could do the same thing for your new hound. Sherlock was my buddy and I owe him a lot. I still miss him everyday. :(

I say give it some time. Get to know the new hound and see how it goes. You may just wind up becoming best buds!

Please keep me posted.

Abbyisms

I'm in a reflective mood today, so I've been doing some thinking. I've decided to pass on some of my thoughts to you, my loyal fans. Let's call these "Abbyisms."

Abbyism #1 - A fool and his money are a hound's best friend.
Abbyism #12 - Behind every great man, there's a great hound!
Abbyism #15 - Don't bite the hand that feeds you, unless it's trying to push you off the couch!
Abbyism #18 - If at first you don't succeed, lie down and nap.

I hope you enjoy these. More to come.

Happy Howlidays!

Just want to wish all my fellow hounds out there a Happy Howliday and dog-gone good new year. I know, I'm just to0 funny sometimes. I even crack myself up.

On a more serious side, this has been a tough year for me and some of my furry friends. Here's to 2008 being a great year for all us hounds and in the spirit of the season, for people too.

Goodbye Charlie Brown

Well my buddy Charlie didn't make it. He just got too sick. He was one tough cookie and was beautiful, strong and graceful til the end. I know he is in a better place now and is hanging out with all the other great hounds that have left us. I'm sure he is playing with Barron, Brutus and Sherlock as I write this. Charlie, give them each a high five for me.

As for you Bruce, I want you to know that whenever you need a little dog attention, I'm here for you. You can come over and pat my read, rub my belly, give me treats and play whenever you want. You are one of my favorite people, so I'm here for you dude. Or maybe I'll come over to your house so I can get away from this pain in the butt, Chadwick! Boy can he be annoying sometimes.

Bruce, Charlie, I love you both.

I dedicate this posting to hounddogger, Charlie. He was one crazy pup.

A Prayer for Cousin Charlie...

My dear cousin Charlie isn't feeling so well. He's been in the hospital for a couple of days now and they're still not sure what's up. They're using the "C" word though and that scares me. I really hope that isn't the case.

So will all you hounds and hound dog lovers out there, please say a prayer for my bud Charlie? He's one crazy but lovable hound. Send him all your good thoughts and best wishes. He and his dad Bruce could use them.

Charlie Brown, we love you and hope you get better soon.

Princess Abby and Chadwick

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is Abigail, although personally I prefer Princess Abby. I live, make that rule, a household in Los Angeles. I have a big backyard to play in, a couch to sleep on, and lots of love. I'm on my 3rd, yes 3rd, male companion. My first bud was Sherlock and he taught me everything. I was just six weeks old when I met him. He was five, so he knew everything. He took me under his wing and looked after me until the day he died. He died a week before his 13th birthday. That was almost 5 years ago and I still miss him. He was a special dude and for 8 years, we spent every minute of every day together. I was really lonely after I lost my best bud. So mom decided I needed another friend. In walks Brutus. Now Brutus was nothing like Sherlock. He'd had a really rough life but he didn't want to share what he knew of the world. He said his past was just too ugly and he wanted to forget it. He was just grateful to have nice place to sleep and people who loved him. He followed my mom around everywhere. He would never let her out of his sight. At first I was a little jealous, well a lot jealous. But then I realized he didn't grow up getting the kind of love and attention that I did, so I let him have the spotlight. I wound up learning a lot from him. I learned how to be grateful for the things I had. I'd grown up having it all so I didn't really appreciate anything. Brutus however was grateful for everything. I learned that the more love I give, the more I get back in return. He was a very special friend but unfortunately he got really sick and our time together was cut short. My heart ached after Brutus was gone. What was wrong with me that my two best buds had to leave me? As I sat feeling sorry for myself, mom pulled up in the Jeep and out jumped Chadwick. Now let me tell you about Chadwick. Chadwick walked in like he owned the place. He walked around like he was royalty or something. I don't know who he thought he was, but I quickly put him in his place. I established myself as the alpha dog in this household. He challenged me at first, but he finally acquiesced. Now Chadwick is a pain in my ass. I mean that literally. You see he's blind. I don't just mean he can't see well, the dog has no eyes. It's kind of freaky if you ask me. It is kind of funny though to watch him bump into things. He gets around by his sense of smell. Now let me translate that for you. It means he walks around with his snout stuck up my butt! Now you may laugh and you may think it's cute, but let me tell you, it's annoying as hell! I'll admit, he's quite a looker but boy does he bug. He gets on my nerves to no end. So the reason I tell you all this is so that you'll realize how much experience I have with love, with friendship, with life. I know I'm not getting any younger and I realize that after twelve years in this crazy world it's time I do something to give back. So I've decided my legacy will be to pass on my hound wisdom to all who are willing to listen. So please read my ramblings, my rants, my observations. You just might learn something.
