Riley & Cooper

.. well yesterday and today I was able to get both these boys to their fosters.. Unfortunately they are both in the Ottawa region so I did a fair bit of driving each day.. I'm sure they both will adjust well Cooper is with 4 other dogs.. Riley has neighbor dogs.. so they won't be lonely.. I know when they are here its like they hit the mother load.. being that they have been rescued and their lives turned upside down I hold no expectations .. I let them be themselves have a good time here playing ectra so they can forget the crap they have been through.. mainly neutering .. vaccines.. worming ectra.. its quite traumatic.. Alas its no time before they are being bassets again as goofy as they are.. So now its just Ralphie I have to deliver to foster in Westmount tomorrow.. This will make room for the bonded pair I have coming in from Ontario.. they are the victims of a divorce sadly.. but they will be fine I'm sure.. I'll write about them later this week.. For now thats all the news..

Oh yes I also received some lovely crystal items and bookends.. plus the promise of a basset painting.. for my Auction.. Yay.. things are beginning..

Success or Virgil & Lex & Ruby

.. Well its been a good adoption week for BHRQ.. two lovely bassets Ruby and Virgil and one foxhound Lex have their forever homes.. YAY.. However its also been a busy week with rescues.. a seven year old boy Cooper and a 6 month old Ralphie and Millie 1.3 years old came in.. I still have the two 7.5 week old walker hound pups.. so its rather busy around here.. Millie is in foster now.. Cooper and Ralphie will go on the weekend.. this allows me to have room should the phone ring or an email come in to get a basset.. I wish I had more fosters though.. so I know I can step up when the need arises .. I was hoping after the CJAD interview I might get a few more and I guess I still might but the wait is always troubling..

I'm also in need of things for the fundraiser auction .. allot of my money has gone out over the last few months .. especially JJ's surgery put me behind the eight ball but no regrets.. the boys leg is great he has quality of life now with his new Mom Maureen.. she's the star in his recovery and life now..

I am hopeful that the Universe might smile on BHRQ.. as I know the holiday season is at large and pups will be bought as presents.. only for some to end up here.. I try to budget and plan.. anyways enough rambling..

Two More Come In..

.. Yes two more arrived a 1.2 year old girl and a 7 year old boy.. Needless to say they needed vaccines.. she needed spaying.. worming as well.. Here they are.. Meet Millie top photo and Cooper bottom.





both were to much trouble owners had no time for them.. Bassets need to be with family and loved as they are such a cuddly breed.. Awe well better here than tied to a tree or just abandoned..

Trixie & Sassy

.. recently I received two walker hounds that were 6 weeks old.. Why you might ask.. well they are girls.. yup you read right.. They are sweet little things and my Micky and hoover are acting like great foster parents again.. Here they are .. Sassy in the back.. Trixie up front..







Now aren't these sweet looking.. I would love for them to stay together .. wishful thinking on my part I suspect.. The Universe will do what its got to do.. as will I..

Have a good day..

The Interview

... Well I guess I did alright as the freeback I've received has been positive.. Now I just have to hope to have sparked some interest in BHRQ. The bassets I brought behaved exemplary I was proud of them.. Tommy liked both actually.. I think he will get one eventually as his love of this breed is so evident to me..

I brought up the fact that funding is low right now as quite a few dogs have come in and await various vetting..

Its my hope that I can do this Fundraising Auction and people call me with things I can use.. Its pretty difficult being a one woman show.. but I do my best.. I am greatful that I have a translator and a friend for when I need a break has an open door policy for me.. Oh well on with this day..

BHRQ Gets A Radio Interview On CJAD

... Well it's going to be this Wednesday at 11:00 .. The Tommy Schnurmacher show.. I cannot tell you how pleased I am to get this chance to get the word out about BHRQ.. We need all the publicity we can get.. as its been an incredible 18 months.. 60 plus bassets I have rehomed.. and more coming daily almost.. I thank the Universe for its help with this task.. I am often humbled on how it all works..

Anyway I just thought I'd let you know.. Cross your fingers I don't get to tongue tied.. :)
