Our beloved Pete, or Peterbilt boy, turns 3 today,with no sign of the
UPS truck with his big boy brains, we keep hoping!<br>
This is our first adopted puppy, we have always adopted a dog closer
to 1 yr old as opposed to Pete, who we adopted at 4 months.<br>
Aunt Pat called us to tell us she had a puppy, only 3 months old and
she didn't want to just adopt him out to someone who may decide again
they can't deal with a puppy, she understood our commitment to this
breed and our love for bassets.<br>
He had his daddy at the first "look", sitting on the floor at Aunt
Pat's house,(wabr), turned in to rescue cause he barked all day, caged
up, can't imagine a puppy being unhappy in a crate 10 hrs a day, but
whatever!!<br>
We brought him home after his neuter and our lives have never been the
same, the love, laughter, tears, totally destroyed house and
possessions!!!<br>
He has been our biggest challenge for sure, house training went well
with Harley to train him, but my gosh, he is our land shark, I watch
him even now put that snooter to the ground and go in hunting mode!!!
He snuffled up a penny last night just cause it was there!!<br>
He has already had one surgery to remove carpet that he thought
apparently tasted good, at least the leather glove came out the other
end, totally in tact, I have never had a dog destroy so many things in
such a short amount of time, I don't want to jinx us, but it is slowing
down a bit.<br>
He has helped heal our hearts after we lost 3 babies in less than a
year back in 2009, and Droolers so graciously offered their sympathy on
such a heartbreaking year for us.<br>
He is funny, has a beautiful bay, keeps us on our toes, and generally
makes our lives happier, although much less moulah in the old wallets,
of which he has eaten 5 or 6, can't remember!<br>
He is a hit wherever we go, with the extra long ears, and is the clinic
poster dog where I work, they love it when I bring him in at the end of
a long week.<br>
Thank you Aunt Pat for trusting us with this beautiful boy, but, I
think this may be the last "puppy" we adopt from you!!! ;]<br>
Ahrooo's<br>

forever momma to Harley,Pete and Lady<br>
