Meet the newest HoPper! MAX

September 19th, 2010 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new HoPper lovers! YES!

This just in from our Marilyn, Mommy to all of the HopPers!

“This is Max. He’s 12 1/2 years old. His owner died so the wife dumped him off at a shelter in WV. He came with a copy of the notes in his vet file since 1998, so they’d had him since he was a puppy. Seems to have had regular vet care and dentals every year. Hasn’t had any shots or tests since 4/2009, though. He’s a very sweet boy but seems pretty anxious and confused. He cries when he can’t be right with me. I let him sleep in bed with me last night and he peed in bed, even though he’d been out to pee right before. Oh well, it was time to change the sheets, anyway. He’s got some lumps and a history of bad arthritis. He’s very sweet and gives gentle kisses.”

What a special and lucky boy. I just don’t get it and I don’t want to.

More knowing that Max is now in the best place ever to grieve the lost of his loved one. Thank you Marilyn…

Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Poor Max, it will take some time but he will adjust, and he will be fine because he is in such a loving and caring enronment.

    Thank You Marilyn for all your wonderful work. Max looks like he is drinking in all the love he can get. I can’t imagine having your spouse or partner die and then dumping the pet. Seems to me they would be a comfort to the survivor. You are right, I don’t get it and don’t want to get it. Maybe some people are just not animal people.
