Bessy the Bassador

We got a dog from my friend/co-worker shorty after we moved into our house. She is a Bassador (3/4 Basset Hound, 1/4 Labrador). She has short-crazy basset legs, a long body, big floppy ears, and more of a lab face. Because of the lab, her skin isn't as saggy as a basset and she's supposed to be some-what more trainable. She is pretty obedient when we have a treat for her but otherwise ignores us. She has learned a few things though. Maybe it just takes more time. My mom named her Bessy because she has black and white spots like a cow. Funny thing is our back yard shares a fence with a field of cows. She spends most of the day trying to "talk" and make friends with the cows. She is pretty fun and entertaining most of the time.

OUR HOUSE

We bought our first house 8-28-07 and continue to have fun making it our own! So far, we've replaced the laundry room floor, all the carpet, painted almost every room, and finished framing and putting shingles on the patio cover. It sure is nice having Matthew's brothers that work in construction help us out. My dad helped with the patio framing and our friend had a roofing business so he did the shingles! What a blessing. The decorating is coming along and now that spring is here there is a lot more work to do on the back yard!!!!

Im new at this!!

This is my attempt to start a blog. We don't have any kids so it will probably be boring but maybe I will get in the habit now for when we do have a family!
