perfect luck

I do believe I am the luckiest dog around. Somehow I came to BROOD because a neighbor from where I used to live decided I needed a new home. I didn't last long in my foster home with the Seldons, because Helen decided I was the PERFECT dog for any family and she just couldn't find anything wrong with me. I had no bad habits and I LOVE everyone (especially cats). 

My soon-to-be Mom and kids showed up at the Seldons' on a Sunday afternoon and I loved them instantly. My Dad couldn't come that day but my family knew he was a sucker for any cute face (he even let it slide when I stole a turkey breast off the counter on Thanksgiving Day...you know, dogs have to eat too!) So, off I went in the big and loud truck to my forever home in Palmyra, VA. 

Now I live on a farm with four horses, two other dogs (they were SPCA rescues), and two cats...the little black one is my favorite! I watch her all of the time and hope one day she'll come inside our invisible fence so that I can really play with her. 

My two new canine friends are not bassets, but I like them anyway. They weren't so sure about me at first, but now we all love each other very much. I especially like to wrestle with my big brother, Bailey, who weighs about 100 pounds! That's no problem for me, because you know what they say, "the bigger they are..." 

My kids are lots of fun too. They love to play in the yard and house with me and my little boy sometimes takes naps with me in the sun. 

I don't really know how I got so lucky, but I am sure glad to have found my forever family. I guess it is all because I AM the PERFECT dog!
