Are you a secret - or not so secret -  Santa for someone who loves a Basenji, Basset Hound or Beagle dog?  Then you really should do yourself a favor and check out my handmade dog breed jewelry!  

Not only will you be purchasing a special one of a kind gift, but you can snag some big bargains in my sale!

You need to hurry, though, because I'm going out of business and when these items are sold there will be no more like them!

For Basenji dog lovers, right now I have only 1 bracelet, 1 pin, and 1 necklace still available.  The Basenji dog necklace is shown at top.  The cute dog pendant can easily be removed from the necklace to wear solo as a pin.  In fact, you can wear other pins you already own as a pendant, too.  Such a versatile piece of jewelry!

Adopt #OceanBreeze a #Basset #LabradorRetriever #SeniorDog @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO

I admit I chuckled when I read the breed description for this beautiful boy.  Let's face it, it's an unusual mix.  You see, Ocean Breeze is a Basset Hound and Labrador Retriever.  He's also a senior dog that has found himself at Wayside Waifs animal shelter in Kansas City, Missouri.

Ocean Breeze is 7 years old and looking for a forever home.  You could call him a Bassador, but as he barks in his adoption message, he prefers Ambassador!  And it sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

Hello Everyone! I know what you're thinking...why am I named Ocean Breeze? Well, I've been wondering the same thing. Someone gave me that name and it does paint a peaceful picture. Don't you like an ocean breeze? And I'm a peaceful kind of a guy. After all, peace and wisdom come with age and I'm a mature gentleman.

I'm a black basset hound/labrador retriever mix...or a "Bassador." I prefer "Ambassador" because I like to meet and greet everyone I see, and I'm very polite. In fact I'm the good will ambassador for dogs my age, who are no longer puppies, but full of life and love. I'm seven years old and still have lots of energy and interests! I'll be wagging my big, lush tail when you come to meet me. (My tail is remarkable, if I do say so myself!) 

 

Exploring, walking on a leash, and sniffing my surroundings are my favorite things. It works for me, because I'm a low-rider and my nose is already close to the ground. I hope you like taking walks, because I'd be very happy as your partner. I'm a calm fellow, rather laid back, and eager to please. I know how to "sit" and "come" and enjoy all kinds of attention. A refresher course in basic obedience and house training might be something to consider. I'm up for anything because I'm just a happy, confident guy!

I was transferred to Wayside Waifs from another shelter which became too crowded. Boy I'm happy to be here, because I know this is a great opportunity for me to find my forever home. The people here say I'll make some lucky person an excellent companion. Being an ambassador, I get praised a lot around here. Praise and treats make me even happier. 

Right now I'm hoping I can become an ambassador in your home. I promise to keep things running smoothly and will try to make everyone comfortable! I'd love to meet all the members of your family and any other pets you have. Since I'm an older boy, I may do better with kids over 5, but we can see about that when you visit. I'll appreciate a safe, quiet place when I eat my meals in my new home. I know you will help work that out for me. Please come out to meet me soon. I just have a feeling that we'll be perfect together!

Lots of love from Ocean Breeze...the Ambassador of Wayside Waifs

Raising Humans by Michael White | Dog Song Saturday

 Kick off your weekend with Dog Song Saturday at Talking Dogs.  I should probably issue a tissue alert for today's featured dog song.

Raising Humans is an original song written and performed by Michael White.  This is a song he wrote for his own dog, Max, after he lost him to cancer.  The accompanying video is of Max.

White notes:

Max was a Basset Hound / Boxer mix and one heck of a dog.

Sit. Stay. Take a few minutes to enjoy Raising Humans.  This touching and heartfelt tribute to White's dog, Max, could very well be one to all the dogs you love and who love you, too.  

Fetch more dog songs and dog music videos at Talking Dogs.  You'll be surprised at how many we've collected..
