It is time to introdue to the world our newest family member. Sam.
He is a Basset Hound that we adopted from our local animal shelter. He was slated to be put down because he had been in the shelter for too long and they have a high turn over rate. I have started volunteering an hour or so there to help them take photos of their animals to be put on www.petfinder.com. (They have a much better camera than I do.)
He has been a joy! Even my DH, Mr. Edge likes him and Mr. Edge has never liked any dog really. The only draw back is that Sam was not housetrained. We have had him for about a month now and he is now housetrained. Loves the kids. Never bites at him even when they lay on him or play with his ears. He really has been pefect. I love the dog. :) He does have a hound dog smell and I find myself constantly vacuuming because of all the hair he is shedding this spring but I really don't mind. I think my favorite thing about Sam is that he has been able to convince Mr. Edge that dogs are great companions and can be a joy.
Man I think Maddie would love to be your kid. :) We had a basset hound growing up named morsel and he was the best dog.
ReplyDeleteWell that would be fair since my oldest would love to your kid. :) Morsel is a great name for a Basset!
ReplyDeleteYes I am sure that Mr. Edge now LOVEEEEEES dogs and thinks that this dog in particular doesn't stink.
ReplyDeleteI believe I said he can see them as good companions and can be a joy. I did not say he LOOOOOOOVVEESSS the dog. (what are you, in junior high?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! I know he will have a great home.
ReplyDeleteMy kids keep asking for a dog...of course I tell them NO!! I do like bassets though. Fun for you!!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable!! I love the way he jumps around on the video!
ReplyDeleteThis is Juice and Sam is welcome to the Cooley family...cool looking dog! I am sure he is a blast...now that he is house-trained that is.
