Welcome to a world ruled by (originally) 2 lovable and at times (sigh) exasperating basset hounds (now just 1 precious princess)! There is never a day that goes by without an "educational" experience for all to, um, learn from. And if asked if given a second chance to decide whether or not to be owned by a basset hound the answer is simple: YES!

New "Addition"
Her name is Dixie. She is 18-months old. She is currently a "boarder" in our home until her "parents" get settled in their own place and out of THEIR parent's house. (Hope that made sense!)
She is a handful, but actually is also a VERY good dog--and smart! She has only had one "accident" in the house since her arrival. And it was my fault--I wasn't paying attention to her when she was pacing by the door to go outside. She is much like Della in that way: quiet. Doesn't TELL you she needs to go out, but rather just goes to the door and thinks that is enough to let me know. So I need a keener sense of awareness with 3 in the house, all of which have slightly different habits.
Della is exhausted from all the play time! Of course, Della is a tad overweight these days too! But a full-time playmate will probably slim her down in no time.
Buford: simply doesn't care. He sees the "girls" playing so he gets TONS more "mommy" time!!
Guinness: simply smacks Dixie with a paw when she gets too rambunctious. Gotta love it!
