Furkid Friday - Introducing Dozer

As a few of you already know, we've been keeping an eye out for another basset since Tracker passed. We needed a rather special guy - male (because Gracie doesn't seem to like other females) and one without a predatory drive (good luck) given the bunnies and cats.

We finally found our guy, right here at WAIF. Here's Dozer, likely to be known by the nickname Doozy, a Bagel (basset/beagle mix). He's not as pretty as Flash, but then, who could be? He also has a fairly severe birth defect on his left leg (his 'wrist' bends forward, not back), which thankfully doesn't bother him at all.

He's fit in perfectly, Gracie likes him and Flash is absolutely thrilled to have another hound in the home. Dozer comes to his name and has, in roughly an hour, already figured out the dog door pretty well. He rides well in the van (which is now fixed, thank hubby!) and seems to have made himself at home. He's still learning sit and "stay out of the kitchen!" but all in all, it's a perfect match. We'll see how he does with laundry.

So of course, there are pictures! Gotsa hog your Flist page.

You can see his left leg deformity in this one, but isn't he cute?



Happy boy :)
