Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Trooper Update Lovers…..

What is better than a Trooper update on a Saturday night? Well, not much! Basset Hound Town resident Maureen send Tropper a St. Patrick’s Day treat and here is the e-mail Tropper sent back!

Dearest Auntie Maureen –

I was SO happy to hear from you. Thank you so much for the sweet St. Patrick’s Day card – and WOW-OOOO delicious Duck jerky! When I opened your package, I had to stop and have a taste of the jerky right away! It was sooooo good that I had to have another one too – because I couldn’t believe how delicious it was! Thank you so much for sending it to me! You are so sweet!

I hope that you and Slinky had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day too! It was rather quiet around here since it was during the week and my foster mom was at work all day. However, I am going to go to the Dog Park for the first time on Sunday because my mange is no longer contagious.

I actually have some peach fuzz in the areas where I had no hair before. My Foster Mom Ann laughs when she cuddles me and said that there was a Basset Hound underneath there after all!

I am starting to play with my Foster Brothers and Sisters now because I am feeling pretty good.

About 2 weeks ago, I was not feeling well at all though. My tummy was very upset and I couldn’t eat very well either. This caused me to lose a little weight. However, now I feel much better and I will get another topical treatment with Advantage tomorrow after I go to the Dog Park. I’ve decided that I really like being inside of a house – and so I have learning to be house-trained…except when it is raining outside! I would rather not get cold and wet feet if I don’t have to!

I am getting better and better now – and I wish that you would come and play with me. I will be going to go to my first Adoption event next weekend – but my Foster Mom says that it is just to say hello to everyone and show off my new fur coat! She says that I still need my Heartworm treatment and work done on my teeth (that were worn down and broken off from biting out of my metal cage) and that my eyes are still being treated.

However, I am so much better that I feel like a new Basset Hound! I never believed that I would feel this good 7 weeks ago – but you should see what good food, medicine, and lots of cuddling has done for me. I am a VERY happy dog right now and I just want to give my love to everyone!

Thank you so much for being so sweet to me – and for remembering me in such nice ways! My tail practically wags off when my Foster Mom tells me that you have sent me another card! I love hearing from you and hope that someday, I will get to give you some kisses and cuddles!

I hope that Cat is OK. I have not heard from her in a long time. I send my best drool and tail wags to all! Take care.

Love, Trooper
