It never rains, but it pours....

10 days ago, after a long wait, I adopted Benji, a 3 year old basset boy...

And now I have MORE news...

Yesterday morning, Rescue called me again, to say that they have an 18 month old basset boy, who had no name and no home and had been wandering the streets for weeks before someone picked him up and brought him to the centre... and would I be interested in going to visit...

3 hours later... I'm now mum to Rusty, Snoopy, Benji & Henry... Or his new full name Hurricane Henry the Hoover Hound! He's the sweetest cuddliest basset boy, very friendly and affectionate with EVERYONE, and even Snoopy likes him (although he had his "put out" face on all day again yesterday).

Benji's still settling in well, but I think is benefitting from Snoopy being distracted by Henry - those two have been taking it in turns to belly-flop onto each other from the sofa all afternoon....

Pictures of my new Pack later!

He's lucky to have found you! Good luck- can't wait to see pictures!

The more , the merrier!

I know the "risks"....... I am the slave to 4 Bassets. Grand , old Lady Clara (11 and a half, a rescue dog)), Ben and Billy (litterbrothers over 8 ) and Ludvig ( 5 and a half, also rescue).

I can`t wait for the pics!!

All the best wishes from Tina

I just couldn't say no when Henry ran over to me at the Rescue center carrying his lead!

Henry? Henry's mine, and I got him at a shelter. I'd gone there with some sense of the sort of dog I wanted, and spent some time, but didn't see my dog.

As I was walking out, the lady at the desk came after me and asked if I would consider a Basset. I said sure, and she explained that they had a male Basset who'd been a stray, and had no chip or tags. Their policy was to wait a week before putting them up for adoption, and she checked and confirmed that he could be adopted.

So, I went to look at Henry, and within a couple of minutes he was my dog.
