<DIV>I haven't posted since I lost my Jordan back in Nov although I faithfully
read the DD. I was very depressed after her loss and not sure what I wanted to
do about getting another basset. But one of the ATB bassets made a decision for
me.</DIV>
<DIV>I was pointed to a breeder in MA who was looking to re-home two females who
had been returned due to owner issues. We emailed, she sent pictures and
we talked on the telephone and last Wed I drove up to CT with my friend
Marion Billy and we met two of the most delightful hounds. Tallulah is 7 and a
red and white, mostly white and an aunt to Matilda who is 3 and almost totally
red with white socks and belly.They are great bassets and they love to snuggle.
They are enjoying exploring the house and yard. At first Loki seemed a little
shocked but this morning Matilda finally got him doing the basset 500 which she
has been trying to do since day 1.</DIV>
<DIV>I feel very blessed to have these two sweeties in my life and look forward
to taking them to basset events.</DIV>
<DIV>Old man Crackers just accepted them as he had with so many fosters in the
past. He did however, claim one of their beds for himself but they prefer the
sofa with me so they don't care.</DIV>
