Homer is Home! FYI – no pictures yet!

January 3rd, 2009 - 5:05 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Homer in his forever home lovers! Homer just arrived to his new home with Joni B in NY and the introduction was bassetabulous!!!

First I talked to Jim who called me as he was heading South to KY. He should be home by 2:00am. Jim said that Homer walked in and introduced himself to Joni’s 2 male Pekinese like a true gentlehound. There was no growling or jealousy at all. Homer even went over on his back so her boys could smell him!!! Then her pekes took him outside to show him their fenced in back yard and Homer did a Jackpot! LOL…. Jim said that Joni has a beautiful home and yard and Homer is a lucky guy!

Joni made Jim a brown bag dinner of a post roast sandwich with all the fixings. I think she was making a pound cake as well. Jim said that Homer had a real sparkle in his eye when he met his new Mom.

As we were hanging up Jim told me he was viewing the most incredible sunset. Wow, phone calls like this are so heart warming. I was just beaming.

After we hung up I called Joni and she was laughing and having the best time. A friend was over helping her with the introductions and every thing was fun, fun, fun!

Joni said that Homer was so beautiful and she could not take her eyes off of him. She was so excited.

She had made all three boys dinner with some sliced roast beef on top. Homer ate his roast beef and then went and ate the boys roast beef as well! She said that he took his fatty paw and tipped their bowls over and just ate the roast beef! Those pekes better get quicker than a basset hound. (Not a chance)! There will be no picky eating at this home from now on! LOL! Joni made sure the pekes got some roast beef.

She said they were having so much fun. One of her pekes was hanging back, because he has back problems and was probably a bit cautious, but the other one was ready and raring to go! By the time we hung up they were all three sniffing and inspecting each other’s areas! Every one’s tails were wagging! LOL

I could hear her friend in the background laughing.

Then the 3 brothers heading out to the back yard and Homer was leading the way! Doesn’t that just bring tears to your eyes? I can just see him now, strutting his stuff, in his new home, with his new brothers, and most importantly, a new Mommy.

Wow – what an adventure. This would make a cute book! Hummmmmm????

More Homer later…….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. Joni – PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES!

    My friend left and it is quiet here now. Homer is eating Pally’s food now! Typical , nobody eats out of their own bowls here! Pally’s is empty, Homer’s is full and Gizzy hid his under the table.

    2009 is off and running in the right direction. Homer has a new mom and two new brothers that don’t mind if he sometimes steals their roast beef. I am thrilled, thank you Joanie for welcoming this special guy.
