My neighbor told me there was a basset in the pound, so I went right away to check it out. They brought him out to a little get acquainted area. He greeted me like he already knew me and had been waiting for me to come pick him up. Honestly, the look in is eyes and on his face said, "Oh,
there you are. I've been waiting. Well, come on, let's go." So I filled out the papers, paid the fees, and brought him home right then. Smart, happy, sweet, funny, and in perfect timing for my sister's graduation. The last time I visited my sister, as I was getting ready to go, I got on the floor and gave him lots of hugs and kisses. I told him he was a good boy and I loved him. I remember thinking, "He's getting old, I'd better give Boo extra goodbyes, what if I never see him again?" So, now it's true. And I miss him.
