Got a new basset puppy

Maya · 11-30-2006, 12:30 PM

Hi

Just joined this forum. We got Maya 2 weeks ago-the first basset we've owned. She's now 13 weeks old and has finished her initial vaccines so from Monday she can go out furthur than the back garden. She loves being outside and will not come in-we have to physically lift her or she would be out the whole day!
She has been really good so far, and loves chewing her toys. She adores our other dog, and would play with the cat if he would let her!

Here are some photos of her

Great looking pup! Congratz!

Nice looking puppy. She already has the sad eyes. It's funny how some hounds just love it outside. My two spend a good share of their time outside, and are free to in or out as they wish. Even last night when it got down to -15 degrees, I had no trouble with them going out to potty. When I open the bedroom door, they run out to potty, then come to bed. They love the snow too. (go to my recent post of "First Snow" for picture & video)

Is there anything sweeter than a basset baby? What a face!

WElcome to the forum, and you have a beautiful basset baby.

Thanks for the replies.

I think she is a beautiful pup but I suppose I'm a little biased!!

It's like having a new baby in the house. Our other dog is 6, so it's a long time since we did the puppy thing. She likes regular naps (and can she snore!!) We have had to move things so she doesn't chew them, and we have a baby gate to keep her in the kitchen overnight. We have puppy pads down and keep having to tell the children it's not a good idea to walk into the kitchen in the morning without shoes on! But after only 2 weeks we are all in love with her and can't imagine life without her. We lost our 11 year old boxer in June and it feels good to have 2 dogs again.

Wow...is she beautiful or what? I am always amazed at new pups...they are quite possibly the best...next to human babies, that is!

She's gorgeous! I will have Baxter one week on Friday. He was born 8/16/06 so he's about the same age!
One of these years I will post his picture. He has two litter mates that had the same colorings as your puppy. He is a tri and is mostly black. We are having such a wonderful time with him! We got a new kitty around a week or so before and they are great pals now. He gets along fine with our 14 year old Lab, but our 5 year old Lab mix is still adjusting to competition. Baxter uses something new when we're at work - a dog litter plan and litter. The litter actually looks like wood stove pellets, although it's made of recycled paper. Seems to be working well, since we have to keep him contained to a small area. He has a large crate, the airline type, with a nice dog bed in it and he sleeps a lot when we're not home. When we get home and let him out, he's like a little mad man - doing the Basset 500 around the house and giving tons of kisses!!!
