<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was a bit of a late bloomer on the DD - had been born to a 4 generation basset family, yet the internet was just getting going and home computers were not in every household.
<div>Early - Mid 90's?? I had Cocshall (ATB 2002).</div>
<div>It was great fun until we opened Daphneyland in 2002 and then my whole world became hands on bassets 24/7 and continues this very day!</div>
<div>I try to keep up, but social media, running Daphneyland and up to my neck in bassets daily has me limited on posting etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Today I have Thunder, whom I co-own with Sandi Wittenberg.</div>
<div>The lovely Bernice co-habilitates here with us - having come in paralyzed, went thru rehab and got her up and running yet severe separation anxiety had her returned from an adoptive home.</div>
<div>Her favorite man Luis currently is residing here, so he has adopted Bernice and she lives here with us and Thunder.</div>
<div>Newest gal is a cancer hospice case that came in, obviously over bred, locked in a church and starving for months, we rescued her, she was in the vetspital for several months before arriving her. We named her "Lourdes"</div>
<div>She was completely shut down, but our two resident hounds are teaching her how to be a hound. It's a joy to watch her improve a bit each day.</div>
<div>Roomba is also with us, having suddenly crashed he has defied the vets and is working on recovery here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then there are the 67 hounds that call Daphneyland home.</div>
<div>Not enough time to tell you all about each one.</div>
<div>Back to adoption appointments and intakes - nice to read familiar names and see "Droolers" participating!</div>
