> Hello to all Hound Slaves and a big hug to all of the hounds out there.
>
> My name is Michele, my first Basset came into my life when I was 13 and
> after my mix breed crossed over, my Aunt found Droopy down by the river 
> and
> brought her into my life.  Since that time it has been nothing but bassets
> for me.  Many bassets have come into my life and crossed over to become
> angels.  I am proud to be currently owned by 2 adorable male Bassets named
> Colt & Ruger.  My husband and I brought them into our home after our 2
> senior bassets Storm & Wolfgang (Father and son) crossed over the rainbow
> bridge within 3 weeks of each other.   Storm from kidney failure and
> Wolfgang herniated a disc which paralyzed him, his recovery chances were
> slim and the decision was based on quality of life so I had him put to 
> sleep
> rather than live a life unable to have any control over himself.  Needless
> to say that I was crushed!  My husband and I don't have children so our
> bassets are our furkids.   I thought that I would die from the weight of a
> lonely, empty house and then we found a breeder that had puppies.  We
> decided that one hound would not be enough that we needed 2, so that they
> could keep each other company while we were at work.  We had thought about 
> a
> rescue hound but at that time there weren't any puppies available in our
> local area.  And after the heart ache of caring and losing to seniors so
> close together, I felt it best to bring some youth into the house.  So we
> brought the Bad A** Basset Brothers home and now there is youth, life &
> happiness back in our home.  The boys are now 2 ½ years old and it has 
> been
> wonderful to watch them grow and develop their personalities and become
> adults.  Colt is the lover, the clown and the momma's boy.  Ruger is more 
> of
> a refined & sophisticated hound who when not running his kingdom with an
> iron paw is out on crusade to banish the terrorist squirrels from the 
> land.
> As with all of the  bassets that have been a part of my life we love them
> very much and feel that we are truly blessed to have these furry 
> earthbound
> angels in our life or should I say running our life.
>
> I enjoy reading about all of your bassets antics and hope to post some of
> the boys soon.  Healing drool to all of those hounds that are sick or
> injured, and loveing snuggly hound hugs to thier humans.
