Have you met my little bruddar?  He comes from another mother, but we look a lot like our pops.



Even as a puppy he was bossy.

I am with him and Phracey and other assorted relations in the 509. So far we have broken the washing machine, harassed sheep!, turned up the AC and caused general mayhem.  I love being here.

ernest puppy to the rescue

I am in the 509 with my sissy and other sorted relations.

On the way I visited the Yakima Farmer's Market to fulfill someone's wish.



Where I stopped and was petted every fifteen feet. Good thing I am so patient.  I was also HOT.



I grumbled the whole way there because the moms DROVE TOO FAST.  I am going to lead up a commission when the new governor is elected to determine if the 70 mph speed limit should be reduced to 40 mph when there is a basset in the car.

ernest basset at your service.

Hola.

This is so cool!  I want to meet this fellow. My moms met this fellow. He is really tall.



I have always had a soft spot for long legged dogs....


I am getting ready to see my sissy! I am getting bathed and primped tomorrow in order to be as handsome as she is beautiful.



I cannot wait to see Phracey, Look at you and the Noble Spot.  I promised the moms I would behave while I am in the 509. We'll see how that goes.

Ernest Desert Dog to the rescue

I feel fall coming on.



It makes hounds sleepy.



I wonder if they grew me a pumpkin....



Soon I'll get to see my sissy!

Ernest basset, making his comeback.

Oh Hai!




Someone went to Paris and I was left to my own devices.



My ears grew bigger and Charlie is still in the way.



However, he is still my best friend and I am still not admitting to actually liking Annie.




Things have been really slow around here.  N mom promises to blog every day during the month of September to keep to a SCHEDULE and to show off her mad instagramming skills.  Here's a SCHEDULE to follow - sleep, wake up, feed Ernest, walk Ernest, play squeaky with Ernest, leave Ernest alone to nap, wake up Ernest for lunchtime walk, feed Ernest sandwich crusts, leave Ernest alone for nap, take Ernest for pre-dinner walk, make Ernest dinner, barely eat your own dinner before Ernest starts groaning for walk, walk Ernest again with Charlie, play squeaky with Ernest, undress Ernest and put him to bed.  Easy peasy. I don't know why this is so hard to stick to, it seems so logical to me.
