Update on Billie Joe Bob

Hey guys-

Just wanted to update you on Billie Joe Bob adopted on 3-30-02.

He is doing great. Giving Grandma something to come home to at night after a hard days work (she just lost Grandpa a few months ago). He is the best little lap cuddler ever and gives so much love and kisses. Grandma made him his own bed, a basket full of doggie toys, where he sleeps at night. We have noticed that he is not too into the dog food and he seems to prefer the people food. He is very well behaved and is a wonderful at letting us know when someone is at the door. He plays fetch with a small bear and is loving all the attention that he is getting.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Regards,

Erika Rubinstein

How do new dogs and babies get along?

The baby and the dog should never be left alone together.

However, Bassets are the least likely to be dangerous. There are other breeds such as the Labrador, the Golden Retriever, and the Collie that are unlikely to snap at children.

Adopting an older dog that has had experience with children is much better than adopting a puppy or a young dog without experience.

With puppies, teething is part of growing up - and sometimes they don't know the strength of their own jaws. Rather than riskng it, go with an older dog. That way, both parties can have fun & respect without getting into any trouble!!
