Angel Hollee

Our little Hollee girl went to the bridge on November 23.

She suffered some serious injuries which she couldnt overcome.

We sure miss our little Angel Hollee girl terribly. She would give some kisses especially early in the morning.

RIP sweet Hollee!

During the night around 2 i think, the dogs (8 of which are bassets) began to go nuts. We couldnt figure out why until a little flying squirrel stuck his neck out from under some covers on the couch. Well when i moved the blanket, out comes the squirrel and the race is on. 8 bassets were on the run after the squirrel and we pulled the dresser out and pulled the couch out and finally the squirrel went up under an old ice box where Harley, one of our cats got it and killed it. Then one of the dogs got it and then another dog got it and then i picked it up and threw it in the garbage. What an ADVENTURE!!!!

Thanksgiving Day

Today, my hubby went to work. He was sick but trudged on anyway.
I went to a friends house for Thanksgiving dinner and fellowship with some sweet friends. I was able to bring home a plate for the hubby to enjoy for supper. I didnt need supper tonight as i was wayyyyyyyy too full for more food.
God has been good to me and continues to bless me with wonderful friends, hubby, family, and sweet pets.
I hope all has felt the thanksgiving that the pilgrims did a long time ago.

got a new camera

I have a friend who has a neat camera that is small and when she went to a office supply store and saw one for 79 dollars, i had to make the stop and get one. So i am sharing an example of what the camera does.

Here is one of the rescue hounds in my care until she is adopted.

Jenna was rescued from a local Alabama shelter and was taken to our main rescue vet where she was found to be emaciated and had malnutrition. Jenna now has gained alot of weight even tho she does appear to be skinny still. She does need to gain some more weight but is a happy girl now.

She is one of my blessings and we are happy she is now healthy and happy.

gardening

When i have time, i love to garden. I love being outside and "playing in the dirt" as i call it.

drive up I 65 with fall colors

My best friend and i went to Cullman, Alabama to get a dog into a new home. While driving up, we saw the most beautiful colors and were able to get pictures. Please enjoy the picture. I have all the pictures loaded into my photo album but this one was one of the best examples of the beautiful fall colors.

Georgia basset bash

Last weekend myself and a friend took 2 of our own dogs and one foster dog to Georgia's basset bash. http://www.bhrg.org/ to see how they do their fundraiser. It was alot of fun too. Lots of food, belly rubs, and good friendship.

Some folks were even interested in the foster kids we had with us.

One foster boy that was being fostered for http://www.bhra.org/ in Georgia came back for some much needed vet work.

One person that i enjoyed meeting was Wendi Prince who has created a retirement home for older basset hounds. It is called houndsabound.

Here is one of her seniors as well as other pictures taken at the bash. The hound with the small girl is one of the foster boys up for adoption. He loves kids and gets along with them very well. He will be on some heart medicine for life but is otherwise very healthy. He just needs that forever home where he can thrive.

My Basset Hounds

Over the past few years, i have really become a basset hound fan/lover. I started with Lucy, a red and white basset hound, then came Jaime, who my husband wanted to adopt after losing another dog to the bridge. Then i wanted to adopt Devon, our foster boy. Then came DaisyBelle who was only here for a few days before going back to her foster home. Hubby couldnt get her off his mind so we adopted her too. She is his snuggle bunny. Then almost a year later, Hollee who had been adopted from the rescue i volunteer with was in need of being returned but before making it back to us, got attacked by presumably a coyote and after spending a week at the lady's vet, came back to BHRA. She spend almost 2 months at our rescue vet and after some friends of mine raising the money to pay her vet bill, the rescue allowed us to adopt Hollee.

Then we have last but not least is Sally Sue. Sally Sue needed a new home to circumstances unknown to me. She had to have surgery to remove her diseased eyes due to glaucoma. She is now a happy healthy hound.

We also have 3 cats and one horse. There are also numerous basset hounds that come here for safety while they are vetted and then move on to foster homes.

We also foster horses for our vet.

Below are pictures of our dogs which also includes one mixed rottie, Jessie, and one mini dachshund, Willie.
