<p class=MsoNormal>Today was a good day, no actually it was a GREAT day.
Among all the bad things that have happened the last few weeks today brought a
ray of sunshine that I would like to share with my fellow droolers. After
seeing the post by Debbie about senior Beckie needing to get off death
row we went to work trying to get her out of the shelter (who only had
great things to say about her.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So today was that day and sweet Beckie came to DROOPY Basset
Rescue. Since she was just pulled this morning we have only an
inkling of her personality and quirks but first reports are that she is a sweet
girl, she had a bath and teeth were brushed and no snapping or growling even
though we did exactly what we tell new adopters not to do and that is get in
their face. She does not seem to be afraid or timid, so far is
getting along with the other fosters in the home and as old dogs will do seems
to have found a soft place to nap.(on the sofa with the foster’s husband and
under a blanket)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now for the other side of the coin, her teeth are terrible
and the breath would knock you over. She has a lump on her tail that
needs to be seen and removed and a couple fatty cysts. She is
frighteningly thin with hardly a fat layer so she will have a complete blood
panel done on Monday when she visits with the vetman just to make sure that she
is in good health. So thank you all for caring about her and if you
would like to help with her medical care as Debbie has suggested please go to
the website at <a href="http://www.droopybassetrescue.com">www.droopybassetrescue.com</a>
and make a donation. Please keep paws crossed and prayers prayed that the
lump on her tail is nothing more than a cyst and not anything serious.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><u>Every rescue</u></b> has elderly dogs in their care
and they are usually the last to be adopted although I can’t imagine why.
<b>Senior dogs are the best</b>, they are usually housebroken, calm, and
looking for love!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>They give so much more than you can imagine and even when
they might only have a few years to love you they give it their all and ask so
very little in return. I live with senior hounds and they give me more
love, hope and companionship they you can imagine. Please consider a
senior hound if you are considering a hound in your life. And if you can
help out a little with Sweet Beckie it would be appreciated. Thanks all
of you for the caring DROOL community.<o:p></o:p></p>
