Rockfan4 - Hounds are “special”. Either you like them or you don’t.
We’ve had 2 bassetts, and then there’s hank. Hank is Bassett / Beagle.
Best advice I can give is that they always are on lead (unless you’re o.k. With their nose getting the better of them...)

Hank tends to eat rabbit poop - which generally causes a bowel infection.

Hank also had a slipped disk in January. He recovered pretty well over the course of 2+ months. Pretty close to air cooled overhaul territory. Difference is that I couldn’t bring myself to spend that kind of $$$ on a car....

Hank is a pretty special boy. And a really great friend to have around.

Just to follow up - we adopted the hound. She's been in our house about a week now and is adapting very well. She's very sweet when she's asleep, and a terror when she's awake, she's tall enough and coordinated enough to get her paws on the kitchen counter, silent as a ninja. You only know something's up when you hear things crashing to the floor.

She doesn't bark much at all, except to bark back at the neighbor dogs when they bark at her. She's afraid of the two behind our house, right now she runs back to the house when they bark at her.

She looks lovely.
Betcha you will never be disappointed by her....
Thanks for taking her on!

Here are my three pups from about year ago. We just lost the old man about six months ago

Sorry for your lose, I just love the frosted face of a senior pup.

Thanks, it was a hard blow....they are family, and these dogs are fiercely loyal and he was one of a kind.

My little guy is good at one thing...farting..

Find beef bones make dog farts the worst around here.

How did the other two handle losing him?


I had one that would go out and lay where we buried her partner all the time. First day or two it was hard to get her to come in at night.

Best photo of why we do what we do. This dog, Radar, with his huge ears, came out of a kill shelter, a captured stray with bite wounds, and running out of time before being PTS. Look at him now in his loving home.

Life is good...

Well, it has been a bit over 24 hours and I have the ability to share that my Daisy passed peacefully last night, Friday December 28. Her tumor ruptured and she was gone in less than a hour. She was the best dog I ever knew. There is a big hole in our house, it is a bit too quiet.

I'm so sorry, Dan. :( She was a great companion and such a beautiful girl. She had a great life and knew she was loved.

{{{Hugs}}}

My heart breaks for you. Just her kind face says what a wonderful girl she was. Hang in there the best you can as time will help. And if anyone says, And life moves on, I will personally be happy to come over and kick them in the nuts.

Damn it. RIP daisy.

(That face!)

Thanks Guys. We knew she was on borrowed time. She went very quickly and peacefully. Here is one more photo that really captures who she is, from day one to her last breath.

Heartbreaking loss. Why do we all go through it time and again? Because the time we have with them makes the heartbreak, worth it.

Alfie now at 5 months. Like having a cartoon character living in our house.
