WHAT A LIFE!!!!!!!
Bowser, our long legged basset youngster, lounging on one of the many dog beds.
What a clown he is - he really endeavors to be a lap dog and will be in my lap any opportunity he gets.
But when that lap is not available he will settle for a cushy dog bed instead.
Current dog bed count in our house is:
Kitchen - 2
Dining room - 7
Living room - 6
downstairs bedroom - 4
Of course they also have a couch and several toddler beds to enjoy.
We have made extra washable covers for most of the beds.
Laundry is a full time job around here.

Just a nap in the sunshine.....
This is Leroy enjoying a snooze on this past sunday afternoon. Leroy is approx 12 years old and is one of our resident hounds.
He came to us many years ago and was just one of the bassets that moved in and said "I'm Staying!!!" He came from Manhattan, KS where he was hit by a car and taken to the vet school hospital there and no one ever claimed him.
Leroy has attended many events with us serving as one of our ambassador hounds. He loves to go to work with me on occasion also.
He is truly a gentle old man and sleeps around 23 hours a day. One of his favorite things to do is be assisted in climbing the stairs to our second floor bedroom - and thus getting to sleep with Mom.

After a busy spring day....
These 2 bassets are getting a much needed nap. The hounds spent most of the day out in the yard yesterday as we did some spring time chores.
This is Bosley on the left and Bowser on the right.
They are both longer legged bassets and are both about 2 years old.
We are getting ready to put in a new back door with a new dog door. They are such great helpers.
Have a great week.

Meet Roscoe....
Roscoe (age 11) and 3 females were recently rescued from a backyard breeder in Arkansas where they lived together in an 8 x 8 pen in horrific conditions. Roscoe and the girls were badly treated and terribly neglected.
The 3 females were younger and more adoptable so they are being fostered and placed for adoption thru Ozark Mountain Basset Rescue.
Roscoe needed a place to enjoy the last of his senior years so he came to us at BassetsRus.
We have a special place in our hearts for those who have endured many years of irresponsible breeding - with little personal attention. We hope we can make up for lost time with Roscoe and he can thoroughly enjoy his "retirement" with us.
He does not want to make eye contact which is common in a dog so neglected and beaten down.
He has healed scars on the top of his head and the top of his ear. His ears are pretty ripped up on the ends.
After a few hours with us last nite he was very responsive and all about wagging that happy basset tail.
Stay tuned for more updates on Roscoe.
Have a great weekend.
Kim
