Hi all. I am new to this site as well as a new Basset mommy. I adopted a 3yr old boy is June from the shelter. I have to say I was hesitant at first, but my son (he’s 12) really wanted him. Well before long I saw past the drool and fell in love. He is my sweet Bubbie! My son jokes I love Bubbie more than him. I can’t imagine why anyone would ever give him up. However he is not fond of being left alone. At first I left him loose when we were gone but after coming home and he had jumped (even with those short legs!) on my kitchen table and broke a glass table in my bedroom trying to stand on it I began crating him when we are gone. Being the wonderful boy he is he adjusted fine. I felt guilty though. Everything I was reading said that most people have more than 1 Basset because they get lonely. So about 3 months ago we got Bella. She was 4 months old. She is my troublemaker! She likes to counter surf, bark and pee and poop anywhere but outside. She knows she isn’t supposed to because she will go hide and do it. Then she comes out, tail between her legs. I think to myself why are you doing it when you know you are going to be in trouble! She is still sleeping in the crate at night because of this but she even pees in her crate at night! The vet says she is healthy and her crate is the right size. I just don’t know what to do. Maybe she is stubborn and will just take longer. I guess Bubbie spoiled me! Any advice??
