As you know, Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California is a wonderful organization. Every year they rescue hounds from the pound and find them homes. The Basset Picnic has been going on since the 50's. And this year, for the first time, there were snoods. You used to see Basset snoods for sale at the dog shows, but we haven't seen any for years.
Snoods are tubes of fabric with elastic at both ends.
They fit over the dogs' head around their neck and ears, keeping their ears up off the ground. We thought it would be a great fund raiser to sell snoods at the Games. All we needed was someone to make and donate them. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Never mind that I hadn't touched a sewing machine in, um, a lot of years.
