Howllo Fellow Hound and Eeyore Lovers! Rember this post about our Eeyore?

Well, the wait is over! Eeyore is now the proud family member of Don and Shelly of ABC! Shelly states,

“As some of you may know, I can’t give up my fosters. When I picked up little Eeyore 2 weeks ago, I picked up this scared, dirty, outside dog. I was told she bit a neighbor and attacked their new breeding pup. I didn’t know what I was in for.

In the first few days, I could see that she was a sweet little peanut who just wants a roof over her head (and not a plastic one), some good food, and some love and attention.

She really took to me and was my little shadow. It wasn’t love at first sight with her by any means, but she grew to love me and vice versa. She learned to trust me and now I trust her too. Everytime I look in her big beautiful brown eyes, I see her saying “thank you”.

So, I couldn’t give her to just anyone. I convinced my parents to take her so I could see her on holidays and frequent visits. They agreed. She was to go there next week.

Don and I are going out of town next weekend for a wedding and were to make the adoption final then. I asked if once we got back, she could come for a visit. Then, Don said the magic words “why don’t we just keep her?” Hmmm…could that be because on our first night rv-ing, the thunder made her crawl next to Don in bed where they cuddled for the rest of the night? Or, could it be the fact that when Don is out of town, she carries around his dirty underwear? I don’t think he could part with her either.

So, there you go, Eeyore makes 4. Diesel and his mom, Eeyore, will now be together forever and Eeyore will never have to have another litter, sleep outside, or be penned up in the fields. She will have a life of rv-ing, basset brothers, and lots and lots of love. (She has the front seat!)

PS…I’m never fostering again. (I know I said that after Spike left…yes, you read correctly, one foster did leave my house)”

end of quote

LOL! I was waiting for this update! I knew Don and Shelly were going to keep her. I just felt it in my gut! I am thrilled beyond belief!

Eeyore went from living in dirt to hitting pay dirt! You go girl!

More loving basset hound folks later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
