[Dailydrool] Basset Loving Husbands

[Sheri Trinchero]

My husband has been "bassetized" too and he could not picture his life
without one in the pack now.  He was a Dobie guy before he met me and
when we were ready for our first dog I wanted a Basset pup (my friend
had a Basset and I thought he was great) and he thought I was nuts.
When he saw Miles 12 years ago (now ATB) at the age of 11 weeks he fell
in love, not to mention he said anything that made me smile that big
must come home to live with us...(And he is a "manly man" too).  Now all
of his friends come over to play with our two Bassets, Bentley or Benny
(8 yrs), and Chase (5.5 months) and they are in love too and think they
have better personalities than most people.  At times they stop by for a
few minutes when they are having a bad day as they said our  clownish
hounds help turn their frowns upside down.  

"Leia Round" is a priceless name too by the way...Congrats on the new
addition and I hope the gals continue to get along well.  

Sheri

Hey Marie, there are a lot of "Basset loving husbands" out there - and
some
of us are even single <grin>! The ex-wife thought I loved the dogs more
than
her. I suppose she was right.

And I'm going to take a moment to introduce the newest addition to my
pack:
Leia Round. (No, I'm not kidding. That's her name - I'm not to blame!)
The
name is perfect - she really does mostly lay around.

Leia Round is estimated to be 6 or 7 years old. She's a lovely medium
size
basset/beagle mix that I've adopted through Oregon Basset Hound Rescue.
So
far things are going very well between her and Maggie d'Earest. 

I did move a new dog into the house sooner than I had anticipated.
Dreamer
and Beethoven have only been gone less than two weeks. But during that
time,
Maggie was changing. Barking more than typical, pacing, digging along
the
fence in the back yard, all behavior traits that I believe showed she
was
lonely. So OBHR had this quiet dog in their listings that was still
fairly
young. With Maggie being 12 years old or so, I didn't want too active of
a
dog. This seems to be a great choice.

Anyway, Marie, welcome to The Drool - and welcome to Leia too!

Tim, Maggie d'Earest & Leia Round
Beethoven ATB & Dreamer ATB
