filling our hearts

We adopted Violet (previously named Diamond) from the Tidewater chapter - even though we live in Pennsylvania. 

We had just lost our first beloved BROOD dog to cancer and were looking for another hound to love after a few months of missing the drool and belly rubs. After several phone calls, we were told about an adorable dog that had been taken to a foster home in Virginia. She had a funny, blueish hue to her coat and an absolutely adorable, crooked paw. 

We drove the five  hours to Virginia Beach - and took one look at this dog and fell in love. She came right up and started licking our faces and it didn't even take a second though. 

Our Violet is a loving, spoiled diva. She owns us!! But we love it!! She lives for kisses from us -and from strangers...and the first thing she does when she meets someone new is roll over for some scratching. She filled an emptiness we'd been feeling for months and made for another BROOD success story.

We will always remember our first dog, Lily, and we miss her tremendously. But we feel good knowing we gave her a good home while we could...and that we opened our home and our hearts for another hound. 

Thanks BROOD!!
