Hello from a Newbie

KosmicFreeway · 07-09-2007, 03:30 PM

Hi there! I've recently acquired my first basset hound and WOW. What a hoot these dogs are! She's a full grown one but not too old. We haven't named her yet. Sadly the person who had her before didn't spend much time with her in the training department so she really doesn't recognize her current name. We were happy to step in and welcome her to our home. I had no idea these guys were so much like cats. Except for the drooling and grunty noises of course.

I learned so much from this board before I got her and I can't thank you enough for the invaluable advice that you all post here. It has made the beginning of my relationship with her very rewarding since I knew what to expect in general.

That being said, I'll try and post a picture of her a bit later on and thanks again for having such a great place for reference and conversation!

Welcome! I'm sure she'll let you know what her name is when she is ready!

Thanks for giving her a safe and loving home!

Yep, houndies are a hoot. Just when you think you MIGHT have them figured out they'll change tactics and do something to keep you guessing. I wouldn't want to be without one. Or two. Or three....

Enjoy her! And get us pics!

Warm welcome!
We're looking forward to stories and pics! :P

You have my condolences; there is no cure once you've gotten the basset bug.

Beware of Bassett slobber!

Oh. Wait. You have mastiffs?

Never mind!

corvuss · 07-14-2007, 01:34 PM

You mixed up your new members Nestor!

Havensbane has Mastiffs, KosmicFreeway has a GSD mix (and cats & hamsters).

No big deal, I got some Senior Hounds mixed up last week...

You're right!

Note to self: Post only after completion of fourth cup of coffee.

I've found the slober isn't quite as bad as I thought it would be! SHOCKING!
