<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Huckleberry (formerly Bandit) came to us as only God and Bassets at the bridge could arrange. Huckleberry was a litermate of Hollyberry ATB whom we lost in the fire. One of my clients at work had taken in a Basset from the family who orginally purchased him. They could no longer keep him bacause of a move and the client herself was having trouble feeding him and the 9 other dogs she has. She asked about Basset rescue. I had given her GABR information but she never followed through with them. Last Friday she came to the office and I asked about the Basset. She still had him and as we talked about him I realized that he had been bred at the same place as Hollyberry. Then I realized that they had the same birthday. I came home and told my husband and grandson we were getting another Basset, and he is Hollyberry brother. Yesterday morning, i called the client and we agreed that I should get him Tuesday evening....and I did.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He has Hollyberry eyes and is on the smaller side and is very skinny. He tolderated a bath well, and loves the treats I had. He can be part of the sitteruppers club because he will sit straight up on his butt for a treat...and he walks on his back legs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Lady Thelma Lou is busy letting him know that she is Queen here. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had not really planned on another dog yet. But this is beyond my planning....I got Holly for Christmas 2 years ago...and now Huckleberry....along with The Lady Thelma Lou, my precious heart-saver hound...we are complete again...different...but complete.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merry Christmas to you all...and snooters Galore!</DIV>
