Happy Tails
We love how Elwood (formerly Uggs) sleeps with the tip of his tongue sticking out. His favorite sleeping position is on his back with his legs in the air, he’s not a beggar and he is totally mellow and loves toys with squeakers in them. He is a real Momma’s boy but he took some time to warm up to his new Dad. We think he just wasn’t exposed to men, because he isn’t afraid of them, but he doesn’t warm up to them as fast as he does women. Now his best buds with his Dad. Everyone just loves Elwood. They are all surprised at calm he is. All the little kids love to pet him and he is more than happy to oblige. He makes friends with other dogs so long as they aren’t over exuberant with the sniffing. We like to go for walks. Elwood had just learned to walk on a leash a few weeks before he came to live with us. He has taken to going for walks, especially if he gets to chase some bunnies or squirrels. We just got back from vacation. We spent a week camping in Cape May. He was a little unsure about camping but he got the hang of it. He probably also went for his first ever walk on the beach, he did not like the water, but eventually he did get his feet wet. We are just so happy he is our boy. We can not believe how lucky we are to have him in our life. Thank you to TSBHR and Paula Joyner from East Mississippi Animal Rescue for saving this wonderful boy so he could be a part of our family.
We adopted Louie about 2 years ago, and we immediately fell in love with his “basset-tude.” We knew he wanted a brother because he would stalk any hounds he found to try to get them to play. And when we added Ben to our family this summer, it was a perfect fit! Ben is a senior boy, but he acts far from it. He is constantly running and jumping around! He is also such a sweet boy who loves belly rubs and treats. He’s just what our family needed.The pictures are from Louie’s annual birthday celebration. We welcomed Ben to our home with his own “Welcome Home Ben” cake from a local dog bakery.
Nugget has been with us about 7 months now. It took her a little time to adjust to family life in the north, but she has settled in nicely. She loves walks in the neighborhood, car rides and her older hound sister Brooklyn, also a Tri-State girl! Nugget is hoping to participate in her first board waddle next spring.
Dolly is a real doll. Everyone that has met her just adores her! We love to snuggle with her.
Dolly is very quiet—the few times she has barked, it’s been dainty, lady-like barks. She likes walks, trying to chase bunnies, her nylon bone, giving kisses, getting belly rubs and snuggling on the couch. She very athletic. Dolly will sit and give her paw for a treat. She has such a funny personality!
Gomer loves to play with our other basset, Jake – they will howl together like they are singing, he loves to chase his own tail and loves our cats he sleeps with them. We walk and play catch with him, we also like to watch him chase Jake around the house with a hedge hog squeaky toy, it is so funny. Gomer is is a very good boy he is very lovable.
Our Claire loves to be petted, going for walks and playing with her toys. We just love her and think she is so cute!
Cayce (formerly Mickey) is so lovable, easy-going and affectionate. Everyone he meets just loves him and tells us how we “Lucked out” by finding him. He is a loving and happy spirit that has given us so much joy, especially my son who so missed our girl basset who died last August. Thank you to everyone who helped us find this easy-going, devoted and affectionate angel to come share our home.
Ralph sprints when he runs! He is very active and so excitable, He loves his runs around the beach and parks and listens very well – he’s great! Ralphie was so sad and had health issues when we got him, but he’s great now – one of the family! Here’s a picture of him with his cousin, Lucy.
Albert was officially adopted by us on my birthday, August 31st, 2018. He is a little wild, and a little crazy…but he is really a sweet & snuggly guy. He has adapted very well to his new home and especially to his new brother Walter (formerly Red, also adopted through TSBHR in 2013). I am so grateful to all of you at TSBHR for bringing him into our lives!
