real "rescue bassets"

After scanning the BROOD website for several months, I finally took the plunge and adopted.  Into our lives, bounced Buttercup and what a joy she became to our family.  She instantly knew when I was having a bad day and always knew how to make everyone laugh.  After living with her for a few months, I asked myself how I could have gone so long without someone as loving as she.

Not long ago, our family moved to a larger home out in the country and decided why not enlarge the family to include another bundle of joy.  Again, I went on to the website and there is where I met Henry.  True, both of my new babies had difficult pasts, but I was sure that a little love would change those memories.  I never realized how true that statement was until recently.

My husband loves to work outside in yard doing the usual maintenance required to keep a large piece of property in order and always rises with the sun.  I was awakened by Henry and Baby in our bedroom with a lot of face licking and barking.  I knew that my husband had already gotten up and taken them out for the "morning duties" and couldn't figure out why both of them were so excited.  I soon discovered that my husband had injured himself and could not make it back into our home for help.  When I bent over and asked them, "What's the matter?" they instantly darted for the back door and ran into our backyard and made a beeline for Daddy.  My alarm clock was set to go off an hour later than the time I got up that morning.
