Happy Tails

Bella’s doing well.  I might start calling her Shadow since she won’t let me out of her sight.  I even had to stay in the kitchen with her eating.  Each time I left the kitchen she stopped eating to follow me.

She had the run of the house while I was at school today and she was the perfect lady.  She doesn’t seem to like grass though.  She’s been going on the patio and when I walk her into the grass she can’t get back to the concrete ground quick enough.  I’m happy that it’s not in the house so we’ll work on that over time.

She and her sister are getting along well.  Her brother has gone into hiding.

Once again thank you for this sweet girl.

It was a very special day at Basset Rescue of Florida when two wonderful seniors, George and Grumpy, went to their very special forever home.  This pair of 8 year old handsome hounds had never met prior to joining their new family but quickly decided they had hit the jackpot.  Here is a report from their new mom:

So far we have learned that Grumpy is our outside boy, and George is the inside boy!  Grumpy has taken over George's bed (but George takes the couch instead).  Grumpy loves to dump his food on the floor and THEN eat! : )  Michael likes to practice reading to the dogs.  And George always protests when I do my homework - because I am not petting him, so he takes it upon himself to lay on my books so he won't be ignored!  HE is sooo cute!  We love them both!!!

Congratulations George and Grumpy and to the Pudlo/Murillo family.  May you have many happy years together.

Champ has joined his new  active family and invented his own special activities like ottoman sleeping, patio lounger sunning and the most important activity, food patrol.  Champ joins 3 boys who play with him a lot and who share snuggle time.  Congratulations Champ!

Nicky had a long journey to join his new family in New York. Foster dad, Jason, employed planes, trains and automobiles to get his beloved foster to his new home with Jason's  Aunt and Uncle.  Nicky Mundy will be loved and spoiled and he will even get to frolic in the cold weather on occasion.  Congratulations Nicky!

Our little Harley is growing up big and strong. His new family, Ken and Rose A., are even re-landscaping the yard just for him.

Hannah and her big brother Duffy are living a life of ease

Rome has a wonderful new life with Ken, Jessica and Tulip L.

Are they SuperHeros or are they Charlotte and Bentley?  Only their dad, Jason S. knows for certain and he's not talking.  Rumor has it that for the price of a cookie, these two BRF alumni will save the day!

Cody went from a life tied to a tree to a wonderful life with new mom, Kathy C., sister Jessie and Skeeter the cat.  Kathy started out as Cody's foster mom and quickly fell in love with this handsome fella.  Congratulations to all.

Bogey's now living the life of a movie star.  When he's not lounging around the pool....he and his sister, Belle, are getting lots of treat from his mom, Daphne.  Dad, Mike L, will be retiring from the Navy soon and will join Bogey in some well deserved rest.  Congratulations to all!

Our beautiful Rosie has a beautiful new life with parents that adore her.  Rosie joins Laura and George K. in Palm Beach where they cater to her every whim.  Congratulations to all and may you have many wonderful years together.

Our handsome Toby has joined the military!  Well, actually he's joined a miliary family.  The Cruz' anxiously await the return of Joel so they can introduce him to their newest family member.  Hurry home Joel!

Tinkerbelle not only has a new home with Ira and Freda G. but she has a new name....Lola!  It's a good thing she enjoys riding.  Her home is right on a golf course and she will get lots of car rides.  Congratulations Lola!

Bruno is putting his obedience training to good use with his new mom Anna S.  He is a very good boy while she is at work and he gets to spend part of the day in doggie day care.  What a lucky guy he is.  Congratulations on your new home Bruno!

After a very rough start in life, our little Harley is now living like a prince with his new mom and dad, Rose and Ken A.   They greeted him with open arms and a big basket of balls to play with.  Rumor has it that a trip to the pet store for more toys is in the works.  Congratulations Harley....we'll miss you!!!

Little Miss Daisy went to her forever home with Lana and Steve S.  Here is what her new Dad had to say about her first day in her new home:

Just want to let you know that Daisy had a GOOD first day. On the trip home she rode in the box (crate) until Okeechobee where she pawed at the door so we stopped and let here out. She had to potty. Then the rest of the way home she rode in Lana's lap, my wife wanted to make sure see could see out the window. They bonded. We worked with her all day, and she really enjoys the big yard and has done all her business outside to this point. She is a very loving and happy dog and we are proud to have her as a part of our family. My daughter brought her Beagles over for a short time and they got along very well. Boy can Daisy run. She kept right up with the Beagles. She can really make her short legs go. Also she really likes to play tug of war with an old sock. We had fun with the sock before I left for work this morning. Just so you know Lana will be home for lunch today, my daughter will be over tomorrow around noon and we have already figured out the rest of the week so someone will be home around noon to spend a little time with her in the middle of the day. In closing all I can say is THANK YOU 

Hi Pam,

Just wanted to touch base with you and all the volunteers at basset rescue. Lucy(Yomie) has turned out to be such a great addition to our family. She is so loving and affectionate and gets along well with our other basset and dachshund. She has put on weight and is about 38 lbs. now. We enjoy basset "wrestlemania" every evening with the dachshund serving as a very yappy referee. Sometimes it seems like a three ring circus, but it keeps us laughing.

I've attached some photos of our happy hound trio. As you can see, they have elevated relaxation to an art form!

Doesn't Eloise look beautiful?  She has certainly filled out since joining Fred and mom Dory N.  Congratulations on getting such a wonderful new home and thanks to Fred for sharing his mom.

Our sweet Bailey has joined her new mom, Sarah S, and her new sister, Lucy, to live a life of luxury  in Pompano Beach.  Bailey and Lucy have their very own sofa by a window overlooking the lake so they can watch the ducks swim by ...that is when they aren't playing or eating or sleeping.  Congratulations Bailey on your forever home!
