Happy Day (Sick Basset Update)
The dog with many names, Odie, Beau, Rocky, BooBoo and Boomer. This super skinny rock eating surgery getting Basset is in his forever home now. He has steadily gained weight and when this happy couple came to see him he lit up tail wagging and wiggling with joy. This family had lost their old Basset Satchmo and were ready to open their hearts and homes to a new dog.
One more name for this this young dog he will now be called Miles Davis and rule the roost at his new home.
Thanks to all who helped and this boy and his forever family are forever indebted to your kindness!
