Welcome -

and what a great name! boy that says it all - "slobberslingers" -doesn't it? ;-)

but you can't help but love 'em....

I'm a golden retreiver person, myself - but I love anything with furr, really. Bassets are really sweet.

We recently lost our Golden Chessie mix, Tristan, to lymphoma, and toyed with the idea of getting a different breed (losing him to lymphoma and the fight for his life really broke our hearts - we were afraid of having to deal with another major cancer illness if we got another rescue golden - irrational, but then, most fears are!) My son wanted to look into Bassetts - as a neighbor has one, 'Hoagie' that is so very sweet - but we do alot of camping, canoeing and hiking, and they just didn't seem to be right for us.

Anyway, we ended up adopting another golden, "Fizz", she came from a respected breeder with a very healthy pedigree. She just didn't pass her heart clearances for breeding, and the breeder wanted her to have a loving home.

We also have a orange and white kitty, Pixel, who wandered into our house over Christmas, and decided to stay, and we have an aquarium full of fish - which changes alot - as we tend to get fish other people don't want!


Glad to see you on the board, and i look forward to many photos of your 'slobberers'! LOL!
