I was at Pet Supplies Plus, picking up supplies for our two, and the Humane Society has a little room there. The lady had a beagle out of his cage, so I asked her if I could go in and pet him. She said yes, so I went in and sat down and little Rudy was in my lap right away. Poor Rudy had been found running stray, and is about 6 years old. He was such a little love, and gave me lots of kisses and sad hound dog looks. I was so tempted to bring him home! My hubby really doesn't want another dog right now, so I respected that. But I know he would have gotten along great with Mr. Blue. The lady from the Humane Society said he was really frightened around a lot of people, and said I must be really good with dogs
I told her I am with frightened hounds. When I was ready to leave, she thanked me for spending time with Rudy, and said that the more time he spends with nice strangers, the better for him and his adoption chances. I sure hope she's right! I had a good time visiting with him, but Mr. Blue sniffed and covered my hand with kisses to remind me of who the #1 hound in my life is (not that I'm in any danger of forgetting that).
There is a new Basset in our Rescue, and from his pic, I would take him in a heartbeat.....if we didn't already have 4 (even though only 2 are ours). He had lo-o-o-ng ears, really sad eyes, and when he fattens up a bit, will be so-o-o handsome. I can't look any more.........
I'm sure it will clean it's own litter too. My luck I would have another cat sleeping on my legs at night.
