Ok, I gotta share the good news.

NosyRosie on Activities - Wed, July 09 2008

I just got an email from a little rescue in Kentucky telling me that Brian and I are new parents to a Basset Hound puppy named AnnaBelle.

I found her on Petfinder two days ago and faxed in the 3 page application last evening. I'm a little surprised it moved so quickly. But at any rate, little AnnaBelle will get spayed next week and we can take her home a day or so after that. Looks like I might have to take a day off next week...

You can see her profile online @ http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11353160

Congrats to Maggie and the Family. I'm so happy for you. Mama wants to take AnnaBelle's ears and play "I'm Batman". She's silly. Can't wait to meet her.

She is ADORABLE! Look at those velvety ears. We are so happy for all of you and can't wait to meet her! We could do a puppy shower....

Please, I beg of you, don't subject her to the humiliation of clothing, nail polish, bejewelment, etc. She seems like a normal sort right now.

You really should do a puppy shower! We did one at the daycare for a family and it was so fun! Cake, treats, toys, games, it was a blast!

WHAT??? I heard mumblings about this but I didn't realize it was really going to happen. I, too, love those big Basset ears. I can't wait to nibble on those. And you know how long it has been since I did my famous Ninja Doxie Jugular Jump?

Maggie, we are so happy for you that you are getting a new sister. Bassets are so awesome, we used to raise basset puppies when I was a little girl. (a LONG LONG time ago!!) You will have so much fun playing with her. We can't wait to see her!! xoxo Diane

Well, I for one, think that AnnaBelle would be just beautiful in one of those classy snoods like our BFF Lucy Goosy has. FiFi asked me to tell you that she really was just kidding about the dress thing. :) Mom said she hasn't had a basset now for a long time since losing her Beau many years ago. So she switched to poodles and now she's hooked. :) hahaha

Okay, I just got off the phone with the lady at rescue and this is what I know: AnnaBelle has been in rescue since last weekend. She was surrendered by a young couple that was moving into an apartment and did not allow pets. The gal is also pregnant and didn't think she'd have time for two dogs (the other dog found a home already). AnnaBelle has been doing well with pottying appropriately and she loves to play. She eats like a pig, despite her "smaller" size...get this...she's already 30 or 35 lbs at 10 months. (Freckles was 42-44lbs full grown) At the earliest, she will get spayed this weekend and I can pick her up the day after the spay. Otherwise she will get spayed on July 22nd and I take her home on the 23rd.

We are going to change her name...we just have to figure out her personality first. If she's too attached to AnnaBelle, we are going to try transitioning her to Abigail, and ultimately calling her Abby.

WAHOOO!!!

That's just too too grand. I'll be bringing my Mimi home next Friday!!! 8 more days!!! I'm so happy that you will have a new darling basset. We all miss Freckles. xoxo

The female biped is jealous and is now looking up basset hounds. Congratulations, we'll have her attacking squirrels in no time.

We're going, we're going!!! I can't wait to give those Basset ears a little tug, Riggs! (Um, Peaches, I was not hitting on your man; I'm just trying to gear up for my new sis and I gotta practice the ear tugs 'cuz I think I'm gonna be doing A LOT of that soon!)

You should have lots of practice between Me, Riggs and Maggie J. I'm still going even though I broke into the cat food yesterday.
