[Dailydrool] Bassets who don't like other breeds

[Mary Wilson]

Our dear Billy ATB absolutely loathed boxers. In fact the last time I took him to the dog park where we used to live he absolutely attached a young male boxer. I was really caught off guard. Fortunately the boxer didn't respond -- he seemed very alarmed -- and his person responded by picking the boxer up in his arms, bless his socks! But he never did like boxers, and grrd at every one he ever met.

Drool to all those in need, especially to Wyatt and Steve. It's a really tough decision. The best advice I got when we were making that choice for dear Billy was to make sure we were making the decision for him, not just for us. When we thought of it that way, we were able to say goodbye to him and help him on his way. It sure isn't easy, though -- I'm typing this through tears, and it will be a year in November.

Mary (and Paddi B Basset, who still misses her best friend Bill.)
