Title: I'm Expecting A Bundle of Joy at My Home Soon
Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on November 05, 2008, 06:27:32 PM
A friend cannot support his 2 y/o bassett hound anymore and has asked that I take him in. The dog is a sweetheart and a half, beautiful tri-color and weighs in at a hefty 75 lbs.

I've been fencing in the back yard (no easy feat with a shoulder STILL broken after 3-1/2 mos). As soon as it is done--probably Friday--I'll bring him home and post pics. He has a play-date with my other bassett tomorrow.

I may be 40 but I'm anxious and giddy about adopting him.

That is too cool and you are wonderful to take him in! :bow:

You should be a Proud Papa!!!!

Does this mean you are handing out dog biscuits instead of cigars?

Please post pics.....I think Bassetts are adorable.

Isn't a Basset just an overweight height challenged beagle? :)

Alas he has been married--er--fixed.

This never would have happened under Bush! Sorry wrong thread.  :p

Dogs rule and that is a great one. Good luck and get well soon.

freedumb,

Actually, yes, he was so named after his prognosticative abilities of approaching visitors mirrored those of the beloved Gary Burghoff character.

That's it, I want some pictures. Radar is too cute a name! I'm jealous and yes, my heart skipped a beat when I thought you were going to be a dad again.  :-)

If that happened to ME, my heart would skip a beat too, since I had the same procedure as poor ol' Radar 10 years ago AND I am old enough to be a young grandpa.

Different skip, different beat.

UPDATE: Making sure my bassett gets along gets along well enough with Radar.

We've had 2 play-dates, 1 on his home turf for his comfort and 1 at my place. Both went very well.

Radar's current daddy works 14-on/14-off in the oilfields and is currently "on" but is expected to come home this morning to say goodbye. Assuming he can Radar will likely move in today.

Radar is this massively loveable big lug and I must say I'm rather excited.
