It's official...I'm in love!!!
Hi there Hilby, you cutie patootie pie! Happy Dog of the Day to you! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your proud Mommy's love filled, most entertaining tribute to her best boy! And oh, how heart melting is your photo spread!

"Hilby actually places Mister B at the door..."

And there you and Mr. B were! Oh, what a precious, precious sight, and what a wonderful way to welcome your family home after a long day! Oh, it's clear you are doing one fine job, Hilby, helping to heal your family's heart after the passing of your beloved Basset predecessor! I'm sure he (or she) is looking down from the Rainbow Bridge today, nodding in agreement, so proud to have you carrying on his/her legacy of love!
Your family is truly blessed to have a furkid, a best friend and loving companion as beautiful (inside and out), as sweet and loving as you in their lives, Hilby! And as for that walking/leash thingy...no sweat, it will come!
Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! I hope you, and Mr. B, are well into your much deserved day of celebration, being spoiled rotten; you know, working on filling that 4th basket of toys!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, adorable Hilby!
