What would we do without House of Puddles?

Howllo Fellow Bassset Hound and old Basset Hound Lovers:
You think you have heard most of the stupid dog stories before but NOPE, there is always someone that proves to be more stupid when it comes to dog owner ship.
THIS WAS A POST THAT MARILYN DID A FEW DAYS AGO………..
“Meet Loretta (renamed from Lucy because we already have one), who arrived on Sunday. Her owners took her to the vet for a bath, had a big argument about who was going to pay for it, and ended up leaving her there to be euthanized. What’s really odd is that in looking at her vet records, which go back a couple of years, they had been taking her in for a bath every 2 to 4 weeks. Why argue about it now?
She’s not really thrilled with being surrounded by 19 other dogs, but trying to make the best of it. She sounds like she’s been debarked – has kind of a high pitched squawk instead of a deep basset bark. Despite all her baths, she was pretty dirty when she arrived so she had another one last night. Needs a nail clipping really bad, too.”
Thank you Marilyn, Thank you……….
More scratching your head stories later……(unfortunately) Cat, Chaps and Emma

Are you even kidding me?!?!!!
Some people really suck!
What a pretty girl Loretta is. I will never understand the human race. Thank dog for people like Marilyn. The HOP Rocks!!! So does bassethoundtown!!!!
Hugs,
Kip, Gus, Bonnie and Charlie Bear
What is just as sad to me is the loss of her melodious basset voice. Debarking really sucks, too! She must cringe in embarrassment every time she opens her mouth. 🙁
I love her!!!
That’s idiotic! And why in the world do you need to take your dog in for baths that often? If she was really dirty when she got to HOP maybe she was left outside? And if so then I wonder why they even bothered bathing her? Sounds to me like she’s better off at HOP. You are such a wonderful person Marilyn. I’m sure she’ll be fine with the pack in time.
Such a sweet face, she must have been so confused when they left her. Thanks Lady of the HOP for letting her see that she is loved and appreciated again. M you rock!
I feel so special because Marilyn let me name this one. Before I adopted Lucien (ATB) and Lilly I had thought about naming them Louis and Loretta, but friends at the time told me those were dumb names…fast-forward to a few weeks ago, I finally get to use one of the names!
Ladies and gentlehounds, would you please make welcome the First Lady of Country Music, Miss Loretta (of House of Puddles).
NB: It’s spelled LORETTA but it’s pronounced Luretty, like in the movie. :o)
