It’s official! Remember Stanley?
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new HoPper Lovers:
Remember Stanley, the newest addition to House of Puddles?
Well, a few Saturdays ago, Marilyn, house Mother to the current 21 elders, held a fall picnic at House of Puddles for friends. Everyone loves to view the Elders in their natural environment, roaming the house and grounds. I could not go but by GEORGE I want to go next year!
Here is Marilyn greeting the folks as they arrived.
As I looked through all of the pictures I saw on different boards and forums one thing I always noticed was Buttermilk right by Marilyn’s side. Wow, that girl is a glue stick!
Here is another HOP supporter coming to love the hounds and likewise I am sure!
So, my friend Susan went to the party and she made pupcakes! I was so impressed it just made me smile!
Each HoPper represented as a sweet treat. How touching and true! Susan, you did such a great job!
So, Susan sat down the tree and herself and what happens next is truly amazing.
Stanley, the newest HopPer plopped in her lap and did not leave her side the entire time!
I am not kidding, he did not leave her!
They both felt the strongest connection. Stanley has no problem revealing his feelings!
So, Marilyn and Susan had a little chat……..about Mr. love bug Stanley!
And the rest is really history! Susan left with Stanley that night on a trial basis. We all know that it is really the other hounds in our life that make these decisions for us. Susan has Daisy and Toby. Susan and Stanley felt the connection but would Toby and Daisy?
Well, it did not happen over night but it did happen. It is all still very fresh. Susan announced days ago that Stanley is officially a member of her family. Thank DoG Toby and Daisy approved.
What a win, win for everyone.
You have to love a hound like Stanley that goes after what he wants. He saw Susan and said, “She is mine”! I guess you could call it, love at first sight!
More win, win and love, love later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

What a happy ending!!!!! Thank you Susan for going to Marilyns so Stanley could find his forever love! Please keep us all posted.
Thank You Susan for the love and bond that is shown with Stanley. It is amazing how the hounds or any animal can show you that “You were meant to be theirs”. But it takes a real loving heart to admit Yes it is true. God Bless you Susan and Stanley.
What a sweet, sweet story! Stanley is such a pretty boy. Congrats Susan and your the best for letting Stanley be part of your family.
That is such a wonderful story. I love happy endings and when everyone wins.
This is the sweetest story!! The pictures of Stanley cuddling up to Susan are priceless. As soon as I saw that first picture of him in her lap, I knew where this story was going. Gotta love happy endings!
Great pics!! Susan is a wonderful gal and great houndie mum! I met her several times before she moved from DE to VA. I am so happy that Stanley and Susan found each other, and that Toby and Daisy gave their “thumbs” up and welcomed this smooshy boy into the family:)
