
1 banana, peeled
1 cup oat flour
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried parsley
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 300°F. Put banana in a large bowl and
use a spoon or potato masher to mash it thoroughly. Add
oat flour, oats, parsley, peanut butter and egg and stir
well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Roll mixture into 24 balls, using about 1 tablespoon
dough for each; transfer to a large parchment paper-lined
baking sheet as done. Use the back of a spoon or the
heel of your hand to press each ball into a (1 1/2- to 2inch) coin. Bake until firm and deep golden brown on the
bottom, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to let cool completely.
Storage note: It's best to store these in an airtight
container in the refrigerator. Or, freeze them to give to
your pal later; just be sure to thaw the treats before
handing them out.

The revised by-laws will sent out to members soon for vote.
The AKC has seen our draft and has returned it with
comments. You’ll be receiving shortly with suggested changes
incorporated.
Our Timberline Basset Hound Club agility trial is set for
September 22 at Arapahoe Park in Golden, Colorado. Betty
Gene is chairing. Our judge is Beth Godwin. Kitty Bradley will
once again do personnel for us. The park is reserved; all is a go.
Once again we are sharing the weekend with the Newfoundland
Club. As always, a lot of help is needed.
A presentation on the Basset Hound has been requested by the
Colorado Judges Group. Tentative timeframe is September, 18
Wednesday at Denver Dog Sports in Denver. We’ll need some
Basset Hounds to use as examples – different types would be
great. This is an instructional session to teach our local AKC
judges what to look for when they’re judging the Basset, so a
very important function for our club. Let us know if you’d like
to attend. The presentation includes a lot of fine points related
to our breed.
Next year, Timberline will be celebrating its 50 Anniversary
and planning has begun for a special day next April – possibly
adding a Basset Hound Club of America regional specialty to be
held in the morning and a formal show and dinner in the
evening to celebrate. We have the entire Al Lesser building
reserved for just Basset Hounds from morning to night. We
will need another judge for the regionals and the TBHC board
is working on that. Specialty judge is Carla LaFave and
Christina is doing sweepstakes. It seems like a long way in the
future but plans do need to be firmed up soon and advertising
needs to be done
The Basset Hound Club of America Nationals is taking place
the first week in October in Eureka, Missouri – a wonderful
opportunity to overdose on the Basset – obedience, tracking,
field trials, hunt test, seminars, tons of Basset Hound items to
shop for and lots of things to see and do. Headquarters hotel is
the Holiday Inn Six Flags in Eureka – a very dog friendly place
with lots of grass and they even have a special building for
bathing your dogs complete with shampoo and towels. You will
love it!
Tracking test is set for March 2, 2014 at Lori State Park in Ft.
Collins. Judges are Jane Jonas and Roy Fair. David is chairing.
th
So far we’ve not been able to locate any of the show pictures or rescue
pictures taken at the specialty this year but we’re working on it.
Remember, we had a new photographer for the first time so that could
be the problem. Hopefully we’ll have something to post in the
newsletter by next month so stay tuned.

This is taken from a Denver Post article dated June 18, 2000 honoring Libby Sallada.
Thought you would enjoy and thanks to Mary Mosley for the hard copy. Libby was quite a
woman and I wish you all could have known her. The title of the article is:
Dog Rescuer’s Life was Multi-Basseted
Inner Peace
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then You Are Probably
The Family Dog!
And you thought I was going to get all spiritual ...
Handle every Stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Pee on it and walk away
(thanks Richard, for the words of wisdom!)
Mark Murphy’s long fight is over. He passed away peacefully yesterday
afternoon with son, daughter in law and wife Kathy by his side. He was
truly at peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mark, Kathy and the
family.
