[Dailydrool] First Basset

[via Dailydrool]

About twenty five years ago my son was a student at the University of  
Georgia.  He watched a guy in a truck dump a basset/corgi mix in a park and  
take off without her. He and his girlfriend scooped her up after hearing  some 
ladies in the park discuss calling animal control.  That night I got a  call 
at the house from my son.  He said he had a problem.  There was  something 
in his voice that cued me in.  I asked if the "problem" had four  feet.  He 
said yes.  And I said, what have you got?  And he said  "Mom, she's old and 
homely and she needs a home.  And you know  what the pound does with old 
dogs!"  And in came Lulu.  And she was  old.  Old enough to have cataracts and 
fatty tumors.  But I thought  she was beautiful.  There was just a look in 
her big brown eyes.   She spent the last five years of her life with me to be 
followed by seven pure  bred bassets - Sophie, Dora, Abbey, Toby, Duncan, 
Nicholas and Junior.  The  love affair with the breed is still going on. 
Would not have it any  other way.
