Annie Oakley

Hiya Friends,

Guess what?? This week I gots to meet my pal Annie Oakley, a basset hound, and her Ma.

Up to now, we had just been friends through the Bratpack (I'll explain what that is in a later post), and she was kinda like a penpal, and one of my bestest penpals. She's a a writer too, and has a kewl blog: http://thechickandthehound.blogspot.com/2011/12/annies-really-good-day.html, which ya just gotta check out.

So I was so excited when we finally got to MEET!!

Beautiful day at the beeeach. 

We were running late to meet Annie, and we had parked hecka far away. 

I think I smells another basset hound.... Annie, is that you???

...Oh Annie... it IS you!!...
(we had to sniff noses to make sure)

Ms. Annie O & her Ma are very special to me. Annie's my Bratpack friend, and sadly, we just lost 2 Bratpack members less than a week ago; they were our friends : (  I will write about them soon in another post.

So we took a moment to remember our 2 pals:

                                    

In our Bratpack (the only requirement is to be a bratty basset hound and do bratty things, so I more than qualify), Annie is my pal Boomah's girlfriend : ) 

She is very pretty... see?

Annie has slightly wavy hair and a lovely smile.
Her coat is very, very soft.

Annie is very sweet. She is one of the sweetest basset gals I have ever met. Her Ma is kewl too, and takes great care of Annie. Annie gets probiotics, which I will probably start soon, too.

This is one of Ms. Annie's favorite places to sit, right between her Ma's feet. 

Me, being a brat, bugged her to "get out from under there!" and run around with me.

I got her to come out & play a few times. 

A lot of dawgs were out that day too.

I love to run & play chase!! And bark, bark, bark!

Then I get pooped and have to rest. 

Resting in the sunshine.

Annie is very social. Here she is meeting a German Shepherd.

All of us running around. 

Annie has a beautiful nose, do you see what I mean? 

Annie again : )

Me running, to get some treats from my person : )

Annie looking cute for the camera.

She has nice ears.
(This is a report for my pal Boomah, who is her basset boyfriend).

Playing with a silly Vizsla who is carrying his own water bottle.

It was a great day for me. Now I do gotta confess: I barks a lot, bark bark bark, when I play, even though I am pretty quiet at home. I think I mighta scared Ms. Annie with all my barking sometimes. My person says I wasn't minding my manners. When I scared her, she hid between her Ma's feet. Hmmm, I have to work on my manners.

We said goodbye, and I was soooo tired afterwards. Alls I did was sleep for the rest of that day and night. I do hope to play with Ms. Annie again.
