[Dailydrool] Basset couple

[msbbeabear at comcast.net]

Yesterday I had to return one of the two dogs we got from an animal rescue.  I had them for a week a girl 5 and a boy 7.  They were kept together in the kennel for the past 7 months.  Apparently they bonded to each other, but the problem was, she was possesive of him and would not let anyone handle him.  She was next to him all the time.  We had them gated off in our back room and our grandchildren came and she started to growl and act strange.  with my husband and myself, she was sweet.  We decided we had to take her back because she showed aggression towards the kids.  Anyway, we kept the male.  In less tha 24 hours, this boy has become a different dog.  He loves it here.  Slept in his bed all night, learned the doggie door, gets along with my dogs now that she is gone andhe dosen't seem to miss her at all.  He even got up on the couch at one point and fell asleep.  He is adorable.  I would have loved to keep them together but it didn't work out.  Has anyone ever seen this kind of thing with two of them together like this.  By the way,  they are puppymill dogs.
