Ask Jake- The Sammy Edition!

Hi loyal readers!!!
My mommy's goddaughter Sammy has questions for her to answer and since she is cute, adorable and her hands are right at my nose level....her questions have priority!

Sammy asks:
Can Jake tell the difference between Savannah, my twin and me?

Yes!  You smell different and that's how I can tell you two apart.  One of you smells like cookies and one smells like candy.  I can't tell you who smells like what, because it is top secret.  Besides, isn't it funny to watch Mommy, your TT, play "Guess Who I Am?"


Did you have a good time on Saturday?
Sammy, I had a great time at the expo and the park with you.  I can't wait to go to the park with you again.  Next time, drop er share your fries.  I like fries.  And chicken nuggets.


Until Next Week,
Woofs and Wags
Jake!





PSSST:  Be sure to buy cookies on sale.  I'm 1/3 of the way to the surgery monies!!!

Jake Visits Frontier Park

Yesterday, I went to the Pet Expo.  Afterwards, we went to Frontier Park to have cheeseburgers.  I had mine with a side of deer poo. Mommy was so not happy...I had it all over my face and my paw...(I was saving it for later.)...she was going to throw me in the Missouri River but we came across a spigot.  (I wouldn't really throw him in...bassets are noted for their sinking ability...not swimming abilities. - T )


Sammy, Can I have a fry?



Can I have a nugget?




Sammy and Melissa


Wait for ME!!!!!!!!



I'm exhausted! Chasing after little kids is hard work.
Ooo mom missed a spot of deer poo!

Jake goes to the St. Louis Pet Expo

Happy Saturday Everyone!  I've had a busy day as Mommy and I went to the St. Louis Pet Expo in St. Charles.

The Pet Expo was incredibly crowded (Mommy also brought her goddaughter so between me and her...the pictures are blurry.  She says sorry).  There were lots of cool booths.  I got a new ID tag for my tie-dyed collar.  Mommy found a place that will make a necklace charm from my nose print.  She's all excited that.

There were lots of rescue groups! Remember, don't buy a doggie...adopt!  There are lots and lots of doggies looking for new homes!  There are mutts, purebreds, boys, girls, young and old!  Rescue!


I need this for my ride!



This ribbon is actually a collar!
There were lots of cool T-Shirts...
But I wouldn't let Mommy look as I had
Stuff to Sniff.
Shirt is from Rally to Rescue



Here I am looking for the next thing to sniff!



Alpaca



Ferret Art
Apparently made by putting ferrets in paint,
and letting them run over canvas.
(NO! MOMMY!!! NO!!! NO BASSET ART!!!!)



Bunny..New Zealand.  Huge.
I really liked this bunny.  I licked its butt!



Turtle



Wait for me Princess!
I'm Prince Charming!



I'm tired.  Let's go.



This is Lucy, a puppy we met on the way out.
I didn't like her. I barked.
(I have this image of Jake in a rocking chair on a porch..yelling
"Get off my lawn" -T)



Time to Go!

Jake's Four Week Ear Check

It has been roughly four weeks since Jake had his CT scan and he needed a recheck to see how his ears were doing.  Here's some pictures!

Jake's appointment was at 10 am at University of Illinois-Urbana-Champagn Veterinary School and Teaching Hospital.  To make it there on time, we had to leave St. Louis at 6:30 am.  Ugh.


Stop taking pics Mom.  Let's go.
We are going to the park right?



Here we are at a rest stop.
You can tell mommy is still not awake.



This is the vet school.



Uhm.  This isn't the park.
I'm going this way, okay?



Waiting...Waiting...Waiting

(Insert Picture of Jake Hiding Under My Chair Here...it didn't come out :( )



Getting My Heart Listened To!
At the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, I'm examined by a
4th year student first.  Then I go away to be examined by the dermatologist.



Hey Stop Talking to the Vet about ME!
Let's GO!!!!!



Are you ready yet?
Come on....

The bottom line is that Jake's ears are doing really well considering.  We are going to wean him off the ear drops and substitute ear cleaning.  Jake will also be sporting booties, as he has bacteria in his paws, because he either step in something or the skin on his paws is infected.
