Meet Bowser....
Thought I would take some time in the next couple weeks and introduce you to some of our resident bassets.
Bowser is approx 18 months old - the youngest hound in our household.
He is a long legged basset - double in height to his house mates.
He is also what I lovingly call a "dot dog" - he has a dot of red on the top of his white head.
Bowser is a real lover and even with his long legged size he desires to be a lap dog whenever possible. He curls up like a lamb sometimes when sleeping or sleeps on his back with those long legs flopped this way and that.
have a great week,
Kim

Meet Penny.....
Penny has been with us since 1999. When she came to rescue we thought she was a puppy but the vet diagnosed her as a "dwarf." She is very small for a basset and since being in rescue has lost her eyesight in both eyes.
She is seen here happily chewing on a nylabone. And she has the best nose in the county. Just let one piece of kibble from dinnertime roll under the upright piano and she will fuss and fume til we move the darn piano just so she can get that one morsel of kibble.

We've read that the typical dog has about 220 million smell receptors in its nose, compared to about 5 million receptors in a person. We figure Penny must have twice the normal number for a dog!
Penny loves to lay in your arms like a baby and has been to many events with us and ususally spends the whole time in someone's arms.
Have a wonderful week.
Kim
