Hi everyone! I am now proudly owned by a basset! I've always wanted a basset so when I heard that there was a seizure of 23 basset hounds from a local home I was quick to visit at the shelter. It was an animal hoarding situation where the dogs where never left outside for three years! You can imagine the horror and mess these poor dogs lived in. Our new baby, Daisy, became a mother to 5 puppies in that house about 6 months ago. All her puppies and most of her housemates found new homes. It took a month and three shelter visits for the whole family to come together and agree to let me adopt our third dog and finally have my basset
Luckily Daisy was still there to steal my heart.
It's been three days here with her at home alongside our black lab, Luna and our Pomeranian, Koti. Daisy is doing so well at settling in! She already has been nicknamed "Lazy Daisy" as she is perfectly happy just keeping the couch warm.
I'm glad I found this site to make basset loving friends and come for help with the inevitable issues we will have over the years. For now, she's doing great considering all the changes she's been through. We are currently working on stopping the counter surfing, table climbing, and trashcan diving. Getting ready to sign up for manner classes here soon.
So, hopefully I'll get to know everyone here soon!
Thanks!
