Fostering
Since my Panda died, I've decided to foster for a while. For my
first foster, I went outside of my comfort zone and into the world
of basset hounds! I fostered Daisy Mae for Tri State Basset Rescue.
Meet Daisy Mae!
Daisy is a shining example of a basset hound: She's super friendly,
intelligent and a chow hound!
Daisy is an adorable 8 yr old tri-colored basset who
is friendly as can be to everyone she meets. Don't be surprised
if she goes belly up for tummy rubs as soon as she lays eyes on
you.
She's a crooner and a bit worried with all of the
changes but she crates well and she pees when asked (so far anyway!).
She is inquisitive and explored every inch of her surroundings,
tail wagging the entire time. She is anxious if you're not in her
line of site but soon settles down if you ignore her and go about
your business. She was all tail wags to a young girl on a bike and
exuberantly waddled over to meet her. She was also very happy to
meet two neighborhood cats--they did not reciprocate her appreciation!
Daisy happily comes when called and is very food motivated.
She would make a great addition to a home with children and would
be fine in a home with lots of activity. She is perky and interested
in her world.Her owner says that Daisy is great with kids and loved
to play and cuddle with their cat. Daisy crates very well and settles
in quickly with a yummy kong. She knows sit, down and come, and
is happy to follow your lead. She loves walks and is an early morning
riser.
Daisy gets along fine with my dane, although an active
playful dog would be a bit more than she'd like.
Daisy persists in trying to cuddle up to the neighbor's
cats. She lights up and becomes very excited and happy when she
sees a child. She loves to go belly up for rubs and would also love
to snuggle on the couch (although that's off limits in my house).
Daisy also got all dolled up to celebrate the holidays
but couldn't contain her silliness:
January 2007
Daisy was adopted today by a lovely family with
children and an active household. She will be in Heaven!!
