<DIV>My husband was doing a fencing job up on Sternes Rd. in Michigan
today, the owner came out to talk and he said they were putting up the fence
because they were getting a new Basset hound puppy, so my husband
and the home owner talked for quite a while and Bill told his wife
about the Drool, My husband couldn't wait to get home to show me
pictures, absolutely beautiful pups, and the couple gave us the
name of the breeder. Not real sure how Annie would feel about a puppy sitting on
her daddy's lap ? I am not in a hurry and have to think about this.</DIV>
<DIV>I have been taking Annie for walks in the park and we meet several other
people walking with their dogs, sometimes Annie does OK, other times like
today she was snarky, now I am confused all over again, would she do better with
a dog her own age ? she doesn't really get along with other dogs all that
well, or should we consider a pup ?</DIV>
<DIV>And here is the third issue, Annie has been stumbling when we
are out walking ? does anyone know what is going on with that, we walked
over a mile today and I bet she stumbled no less than 7 times. like a
tripping over something, but nothing is there , she isnt limping. I have
seen her do this out in our backyard several times, I didn't think
anything of it at first, but it seems to be more often.</DIV>
