He has been so lost and lonely since Blossom died last fall. I wanted to wait until the right dog came along and I truly believe Blossom sent us Norton.I will write the story of her part in this adoption later.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Norton is 9 years old and has been with a very nice young family. They love bassets and have had them a long time. Due to life circumstances they are no longer able to keep Norton.They wanted to make sure he had a good home so after we all met each other and the dogs got along well, we decided to give him a new home.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to ask all you experienced droolers how to go about this so things go smoothly. The previous owners are bringing over his vet records, bed, food, toys, etc. How do I integrate his stuff into Elmo's. Will Elmo be jealous and will there be turf wars? I already intend to feed them separately to avoid food aggression. Any info or suggestions will be much appreciated. You don't need to post privately. Others might like to know how to welcome a new dog into the household without too much conflict.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks so much, Barb in KC, Elmo, & Blossom ATB </DIV>
