font-family:Arial'>My name is Christin and I am the proud slave of <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City> the seven year
old basset hound. (We may have met at the Basset Hound Picnic in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Raritan</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">NJ</st1:State></st1:place>
a few years back) I absolutely love and adore my <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>. He is a part of my
family. I am familiar with the breed as I grew up with three other
Basset Hounds as a child. I am committed to being his slave until he
crosses the bridge and leaves me. However, we are having some
difficult problems and I need some help. I am going to give you the
history so you can best advise me. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City> came into my life by interesting
means. I despise pet stores and puppy mills and make it a point to
avoid deals with them. However, during a trip to a mall with a
girlfriend of mine seven years ago, she decided she needed fish food so we
were in the store and the sweet Basset Hound puppy being passed between the
manager and a woman caught my attention. No matter what the store
manager said the woman insisted on calling the dog a beagle. It was
freezing out side and she continued to repeat he won't need a dog house I
can just put him outside in a run. The little guy was coughing pretty
bad. I knew if he went home with the woman he would be dead in a few
days. When she went to get money from the mac machine I walked up to
the manager an purchased <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>
before she could come back for him. It took me the first six months
of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>'s
life to straighten out his health. I found out the same day he was
welped he was put on a truck in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South
Dakota</st1:place></st1:State> only to appear in the pet shop a week
later. He had phenmonia, Kennel cough and all kinds of
parasites. We managed to get him healthy. I took Sid to
obedience school and I socialized him a great deal when he was young.
He has had three eye surgeries because he is prone to eye tumors and he has
numerous ear infections. All of which we have addressed and will
continue to address. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>,
goes from 6 am to 6pm with out making a mess in the house.
Unfortunately, my first problem is that once I come home we have to go out
side every fifteen minutes for him to urinate and he is still having
accidents in the house. I was forced to have him sleep in a crate
because he would urinate up to three times over night. He seems happy
with sleeping in the crate. Recently, even when I take him out every
fifteen minutes he is still urninating in the house in between. I
checked with vet and he does not have a bladder infection or anything like
that. I try to limit his water intake at night. I am wondering
if you are aware of where I could buy a diaper for a basset. I have
tried our local pet shops and they sizes just do not fit a Basset Hound
torso. I want him to have the time to socialize with my family as he
is alone all day, but the accidents are really getting out of hand.
In addition to this problem. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>
is over protective of my son and I. If someone walks buy on the
street or comes to my home with out me knowing ahead of time- <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City> can be down
right aggressive. Barking, growling and even lunging to bite
people. I do not ever want <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sidney</st1:place></st1:City>
to have to be put down for biting someone as he truly is a sweet dog.
He is only acting because he is trying to be protective. If I tell
the unexpected guest to stay perfectly still he will carry on a bit smell
them and then be their best friend. However, if they do not listen
and continue to move the situtation can be dangerous for the person and
Sidney. I am wondering if you have any suggestions. I love my
dog and want him to live a long healthy life. Any ideas you have or
your other readers have would so greatly be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
