Another question--everyone at work knows my two bassets, Wally and Sissy, are treated like royalty at our house and wonder why such a place is needed for senior bassets. I have never thought about until yesterday. I would never place Wally and Sissy anywhere but our home no matter how old they get. It is hard for me to understand why so many bassets are available for adoption through various rescue groups. --Cindy servant to Wally & Sissy
