Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hounds in the Pound Haters…..Well, we are all one of those.
Today I had a list of things to do as long as a basset’s body when the phone rang. It was Terry, my Animal Control office.
She told me a sad story of woe. Elmer is an owner relinquish at the Campbell County Pound. In KY, owner relinquished dogs can be put down the same day. At my pound they give a grace period if they are not full. Well, my local pound is almost full.
So, Elmer moved to the top of my TO DO LIST.
Grandma and I zoomed down to the pound to take pictures.

Hi Lady, you seem nice…….
Then I heard his sad story….
I was chained to a tree for two years, (I am 2 years old). Mez never had a human to lubs…..

That is why I look so sad and kinda growled at the nice lady holding the leash. But then the Grandma lady looked nice and I smiled at herz!

Then that grandma ladyz gave mez a tweet and I smiled bigger….I never had a tweet. I barely had food or water. The ugly lady that fed me every now and then got pregnant and told some man to get rid of me. He dumped me at the pound.

My ears went up I was so happy after my tweet! Then the lady who smelled like basset hounds gave me a pat on the head and I smiled even more!

Look howl long I am! Even though I have never walked on a leash I didn’t do too bad!

It was time to go back to the pound. Actually, I have never been off my tree tie so I kind of like the freedom….

They give me fresh water which is a real treat…..

I never had a place to sleep. Just on the dirt under a tree.
I wonder if someone will want me? No tree people need reply!!!!

I am 2 years old and not neutered. I have never had human contact. That is why I growled at the basset hound town lady. It was a very light growl. She told me not to worry about it.
Oh, the nice lady wants to change my name if someone wants me. She figures that my name is not something I connect with anything good.
She thinks I look like a Frank. In honor of her Dad’s Dad. Frank the Fantastic!
I think I am going on something called Facebook. OK! Sounds fun! Let me know if you know anything you can do.
The nice BHT lady will contact all of her contacts.
More about Frank later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
