Howllo Fellow Hound and Biscuit lovers. I just received an e-mail from the bassetabulous, Kerri Walsh!

Here it is:

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to send out an update on Biscuit to all of you concerned and caring hound lovers!

3137

First, let me briefly introduce myself.. I am Kerri Walsh and I serve as the shelter coordinator for Basset Rescue Network Inc (at Daphneyland). I check all of the southern California shelters on a daily basis for lost or abandoned basset hounds.

Dawn of the West on left, Kerri on the right in red!

I was in the process of checking the shelters about two weeks ago when Biscuit’s photograph popped up. She was brought into the Riverside Shelter as a stray and immediately placed in isolation. I have a good relationship with this particular shelter so I was able to get a copy of the veterinarian’s evaluation which stated that the wounds on her back were caused by intentional skin trauma or burns. I went two days later to pick her up and take her to the ranch. Dawn was standing by and we put her in the tub immediately for a cool bath with aloe treatments (straight from the plant). She has some deep scarring all along her back and sides so who knows what this poor baby may have been subjected to. Her recovery will take some time and she is currently on a special diet to boost her immune system and heal her wounds as fast as possible. You will be happy to hear that she was sassy as all getup in the tub when she came in! That being said, it was discovered that Biscuit had pnemonia – but she is getting better everyday in the solace of a suite at the Daphneyland Rescue Ranch. (If only I could be so pampered! I will be collecting donations for my pedicure shortly! ha ha ha)

We are almost there guys! Only 300.00 more needed to get this doggie in beauty pagent shape! WE CAN DO IT!
