Meet Our New Basset Hound
This is our new basset hound puppy Lilly. We’ve only had her for about a week, but she has been a joy to our family. She is five weeks old and of course, still a baby. She has seemed to adjust to her new living quarters just fine and loves to play with our labrador. I believe the lab, whose name is Nala, seems to think Lilly is her “baby.” They play together all the time. We have to remind Nala to take it easy from time to time. She’s 65 pounds, but the basset puppy is only about 5 pounds!
However, with six year our dachshund, Macey, it’s a totally different matter. Macey is very shy and doesn’t want anything to do with her. Dachshunds by nature are very territorial and jealous. She reacted the same way we got Nala about a year ago, but now Nala and her get along just fine.
Our hope with this blog is to journal our experiences with our new bundle of joy. We are told basset hounds are very lovable dogs. This is our first one and we are looking forward to what we hope are many years together. We will be updating this blog every few days sharing with everyone our experiences with Lilly, both good and “challenging”. Please be sure to check back often.
