46 days, 12 hours and 37min since my soul broke apart

Our Bruno got very sick very suddenly last month, and it became clear any treatments would have been only delaying the inevitable. He was in more pain that morning when we took him in for repeat bloodwork and xrays, which revealed continually dropping platelets and some unknown shadowy areas or possibly masses. He had been the most perfect dog, I just couldn’t ask him to endure it for even a second more…so I made the most impossible decision to end his pain thru euthanasia while my husband went outside and had a panic attack in the parking lot.

You always think you have more time. We got 8 years and 6 weeks…but the truth is, no matter how long it was, it would have NEVER been enough time. I wanted to share him with you all because meeting new people was truly his most favorite thing in this world (jokes on me as a mega introvert)…and imagining him happy right now is the only thing that gets me thru to the next moment.

Thanks for taking time to read and swipe thru Brunos pics- you’ve made his whole day. Please hold your babies close for me 💔

New to the Basset House Scene

Hey Basset Hound Fam! So, my son decided on getting a Basset Hound after his Mom and My Mom unfortunately passed away a few months ago. It would just be so good for him he’s been through so much this year. My question is, I’m not super familiar with the process, and I joined some groups on FB. I made a post in a bunch of them, kind of telling them about my son and if any breeders that had pups out there, we were interested. Only one profile responded. Its “Basset Hound Puppies for Sale”. The person is super nice. But they sent me pictures of 4 dogs, and one of them I reverse image searched and it brought me to a members post in this sub. In the post they say they just bought them like 10 or 11 days ago.

TLDR has anyone had experience buying a pup from a breeder off of FB? We’ve looked at puppyspot and good dog and they definitely have prices I would expect. But I was wondering if anyone’s gone through this process with someone from FB? Any help would be huge as I saw from Google that “puppy scams” aren’t that uncommon.

Thanks Fam!
