On Sept 6, 2006 while returning from work on a rural road in the rural part of El Paso County TX I came across three basset hounds sitting on a drainage ditch. Needless to say with a screeching of tires and all, I went to where they were, got all three in the back seat and took them home. The next day the vet said I had a two year old momma and two one year old pups. All had issues, ticks, cuts, a UTI, and when mommy was spayed found out she was pregnant. Oops, too late. Finally got all well, and then how do you break up a family? I couldn't do it, so they are still with me, happy and hopefully not too fat. They are loved and will be here until time to go to the bridge. May that be a long way off. After this, I really came to appreciate what rescues do for the hounds. Lots of work and money and time and LOVE. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473256227939_16194" dir="ltr">My hat goes off to all rescues and all they do for the hounds.
