I don't think I've seen a post from you since last Friday. I hope all is going well with the new family addition.

Thanks for asking.....been meaning to post but he's keeping me busy!

My last two basset puppies were in 1993 and 2000 and I've found in the last 104+ hours I've forgotten EVERYTHING I ever knew about raising a puppy.

Seeing all six puppies / seeing both the mother and father / meeting all the GABR volunteers and the foster Mom / meeting the five other adopting families.....talk about an overwhelming 90 minutes Sat morning.

He loves to admire the puppy reflection in the fireplace glass door and has even barked at him a few times. And he loves to gives kisses. Spends a few hours a day napping on my lap in the tv-room recliner. The recliner's called a "Snuggler" because it's about 1.5 times the width of a regular recliner. We fit side-by-side when he's not on my lap, but not sure I will be able to reduce my butt size as fast as he grows into his!

A few accidents in the house, but hey.....haven't we all?

I sure miss THREAD view.....but over the last few days it certainly wouldn't matter. Hope you are well!
 
Come on IllinoisLion post a pic. Bruno wants to meet Fonzie!

A tech I am not.....I have enough problems typing with my one finger!

Go to GABR's (Guardian Angel Basset Rescue) FACEBOOK page. There should be some pics, including one by a professional photographer of all six together. Fonzie's on the upper left crate. That pic was at 7 weeks, he's 10 weeks 2 days old today.

Will try to learn how to post pics in the next few days!

Hi Bruno!
 
Ah, that's good news. I suspect it is no longer your house but Fonzie's. Is this the photo your're talking about?

I think this one was at 5 weeks - all 6 puppies (IMHO) were adorable, a great looking litter. THANKS FOR POSTING!
What a cutie! I love his markings, especially the white spot around his nose which is slightly higher on his left side.

Just remember that he's just a puppy and to not lose your patience with him.
