My Favorite Bed
Hello my name is Speedy. I came to the ranch in February of 2006 from Oklahoma. My owner had gone to jail and the attorney involved in the case did not want me to end up in a high kill shelter so he searched until he found this wonderful place for me to live. You see not every one wants to give a home to a blind basset, but I got really lucky and came to this basset retirement ranch.
I got a ride from a volunteer who flew me to Kansas in a small passenger plane. I was totally blind when I arrived here but I still had to have surgery to remove my painful, diseased eye. It hurt me so badly that I rubbed my head to make the pain to go away.
Now I am fit as a fiddle. I have learned my way around the house and yard. I know that when I go out the dog door that I turn left to use the ramp.
For the first few months here I did not venture around too much in the house - I stayed in the dining room and slept under the piano. My dad, Bruce, plays the piano and my mom is learning.
Now I wander around the whole house searching out the most comfy of beds. This is one of my favorites.
Have a great day,
Speedy
