Spinning Wheels And Basset Hounds

About to give another spinning lesson at the CNY Fiber Fest❤️ #ilovespinning #schachtgirl #schachtspindleco #comespinayarnwithme

It’s still so raw, I can barely write the words. A few days ago, our Minnie crossed the Rainbow Bridge from heart failure. I need a bit more time to give her the tribute she deserves. There is a huge hole in my heart. Unbelievably, we have now lost our Basset Trio in 9 months. #bassetlove #minnie #rainbowbridge #myhearthurts

I really miss you Brenda, every. single. day. I saved the last 2 voicemail’s from you so I can still hear your voice and every time I hear someone call B-4, for Bingo, like on tv last week, I hear you say ”And After!” and it makes me laugh. I realized I need to be in more pictures and not just take them because I have oodles of you and only a couple of us like this old, blurry shot. I cherish the memories but I am forever changed without you here. I love you Cousin, always. #3years💔 #sayhellotoNuniforme

Now this is a Christmas miracle, folks. #takenyesterday #oneinamillionshot #Minnieisnotafanofthepuppy #alexisthedogwhisperer

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It wouldn’t be the holidays without a medical crisis, but thankfully my Alex, is finally starting to feel better. Padme was more than happy to help him open gifts, so it’s all good. #latergram #christmas #myalexissobrave

Today was an unexpected, very good day. A local rescue that pulls dogs from high kill shelters down south, to adopt out up here, happened to be at #tractorsupply I went in for dog food, then brought my Alex in to see all the sweet faces(with zero intention of bringing anyone home since we just started looking for a basset to rescue, putting in applications). This girl took one look at him and Zing! she decided Alex belonged to her. Hasn’t left his side since. We will still rescue a basset hound, but today, Welcome to the Pack, Padme❤️ #adoptdontshop #healinghearts #lovebug #myalexissobrave

After years of living outside on concrete, Daisy loved being comfy on the couch. One of my favorite memories is the way she had to wind up to bark! She would rev like an engine about 5 times, then start woofing, ears flapping and front feet lifting off the ground with each woof.❤️ #adored #soloved #cherishedmemories #Imissyousomuch #Always #7monthsovertheRainbowBridge🌈 #adoptdontshop

When you’re so over all the poking and prodding..... #letitgo #johnshopkins #myalexissobrave (at Johns Hopkins Children's Center)

There was something very #Supernatural about Alex’s heart the other day. They found a wee man dancing around inside😉 Hmmm......(see the next picture) #myalexissobrave #johnshopkins (at Johns Hopkins Children's Center)

My Boy and I❤️ from a fun day the last time he was home. We’re laughing because 10mins before, a baby camel was sucking on my head - yep, I’m as sweet as I look😉 #talkaboutabadhairday #lovemyboy #somuchfun #babycamelsaresofluffy! (at The Wild Animal Park)

Yes, the Poodle has come to stay with us again. I have a lot of catching up to do, the past few weeks have been hard, adjusting to life without Sabrina. We celebrated his return with a delicious doggy treat. Think they loved it?❤️ #soloved #bassethound #poodle #bassethoundwannabe

Happy Halloween 🎃 enjoy these awkwardly awesome pictures of my little loves. The Reluctant Unicorn, the Very Cranky Ladybug😂 and the Nervous Poodle. #ahmemories #halloween #bassetlove #bassethound #poodle #bassethoundwannabe

A few days ago, My Alex’s precious Sabrina passed away. It’s still so hard, I can barely say it. Sabrina wasn’t a dog, but a kid with fur, best friend, confidant, rock, playmate, sister, Diva, tissue addict, snuggler, an expert at Facetime and a Love. For 13.5 yrs she and Alex were inseparable, slept together every night and when we are away in hospital, we paper our room with her pictures. They are not bonded but crazy glued. Life will never be the same. I have a million pictures, but here’s a few from a beautiful day when both were feeling well enough to enjoy it. Sabrina was all about giving love and her whole life was filled with only love. She was one of the lucky ones. Please keep Alex(us too) in your prayers during this difficult time, hug your babies and if so inclined donate to your shelter in Alex and Sabrina’s name. Everyone deserves a bond like theirs. #sabrina #rainbowbridge #myalexissobrave #soloved #missyouforever #sayhellotodaisyforme

Someone needed extra Momma time tonight. My legs are numb and I have to pee, but she growls every time I move. I guess I can hold it till morning. #only10morehours #Minnie #adoptdontshop #rescued #soloved #bassetlove #basset #bassethound #whateveryouwant
