font-family:Arial'>AND we have some very special guest stars. Gretchen and
her babies will be there! Gretchen is doing so much better. >From a starved
hound who was nervous and shy to a healthy, sweet, friendly, outgoing
hound. She is a joy to see and cuddle. Now that she is no longer
nursing she is starting to put on some weight, though her puppies are growing
so fast they may pass her up. The pups are now 8 weeks old and they told
us they want to start interviewing for forever families and find one for their
mom too, so the whole family is coming to the event. The little girl, <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City> has grown so much
and is doing great. It appears that she does not have normal vision but
it is not slowing her down. She is so smart and her foster mom has
already been teaching her verbal cues to keep her safe. There is a rumor
that <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City> is
adoption pending (can you say foster failure?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

come join us to help the hounds and hug puppies! Updated pictures are
here <a href="http://buckbasset.com/" title="http://buckbasset.com/">http://buckbasset.com/</a>
there are links to more pictures from the original website. Yes that is
me in puppy nirvana with my lapful of puppies (kind of like grandma I visit,
hug and then leave), but if you look at the rest of the pictures you will spot
the illusive, hard working foster mom and you might also recognize the Drool’s
Melissa Jokela getting her puppy fix too!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
