I can't belive I've been with my current pack for a whole year now! I have momma-monkey and daddy-monkey and brother who love me lots, especially brother. He really likes it when I jump on his head and bite his ears to play. He might not show it, but I know it's true. Everyone who meets me loves me because I'm the cutest, friendliest puppy in the world.

I've been really busy since I came to live here! I have made a nice den out of a collection of socks, underwear, and toys-that-sometimes-make-food in a lovely nest under the back porch where nobody but me can go.

Mom says I'm so smart I'm probably building lick activated robots under there, too. She's wrong though. I'm building a lick powered rocket behind the shed. I'm very good at licking and do it as much as possible to stay in practice.

Some people think I'm spoiled, but it is NOT TRUE! I am just being given what I deserve as Her Royal Highness of the pack.

Alpha says I've never had a bad day in my life or suffered want in any way. This isn't so. I've had two bad days: the first day when I left all my brothers and sisters and old pack was really scary. Brother was big and scary and didn't like me at all. When we got to the new den, I went and hid behind the recycle bin in the kitchen. Then at night they put me in a terrible cage and I cried and cried. Things were much better the next day, though.

My second bad day was when they took me to a scary place and made me very sleepy. When I woke up my tummy hurt and I was in another bad cage. I cried all night until my monkies came to get me the next day. I hope those are the only bad days I have.

Life could only be better if Brother would play with me more. but I have lots of toys I can hunt and a monkey is always around to play with me.

I hope my littermates are doing good and have packs that love them lots and lots.

Since we lost Boing in April we have toyed with the idea of getting another basset, but in the end we fear comparing too much. Bassetoodles, on the other hand, well... Your pup is ADORABLE.

We wonder if you would be willing to point us to the person you got Rosie from so we can add our name to their list.

Hi Craig and CIG,
I'm so sorry for your loss!

When it's time to add a new dog to your life, I can't recommend Bassetdoodles enough! Rosie has been an absolute delight! She is so incredibly loving and playful. Even at three, she still acts like a puppy and has lost none of her sweetness.
We got her from Uptown Pets http://www.uptownpets.us/pages/BassetdoodleInfo.ph p

You can actually see her mom and dad in my corral: Toulouse and Ivy, and her brothers Cody and Winston.
The only health issue Rosie has is an occasional ear infection- with those long ears, low to the ground. Other than that she's been incredibly healthy and happy.
Unfortunately, we don't have any more photos posted, but the breeder's web page does show a bunch more.
Best of luck!

Rosie's proud mom

Okay, sorry, forgot to also say:

One of the basset traits is LOOOOONG PUPPIHOOOD. Three years. That is why so many end up in rescue. Dumb a** owners spoil them in their way-too-cute-imaginable puppihood, then, suddenly, the day comes when they are adults with pushy, demanding, LOUD "wants" (read: NEEDS) My poor wife was a cat person. Had no idea what was ahead. I've trained before and had at least a clue, but , whoa, bassets of any stripe are for those who know how to live "tough love" for even the most skeptical pup (will you REALLY provide alpha perks? Warm bed, meals on time, water bowl full????????) Ever notice how Rosie checks up on you? THAT is bassetude....

We love your Rosie. Help us get a cousin!!!
