Basset Hounds for You

The ice cream social had a professional photographer and he posted these pictures of Daisy Mae and her new best friend, a hound dog puppy

I really wanted to post yesterday but by the time I got home I was very very tired, so here’s your Theo pupdate!!

(3rd photo shows some of my foot because he decided that my foot tasted better than puppy mash)

He’s almost completely weaned off of sweeties milk (he’s not too happy about that lol) and is eating puppy mash (very reluctantly, I might add, if anyone has tips on that, please help!) we give him milk still, it’s a weaning formula or something like that (mom takes care of that so I’m not 100% sure) and he drinks that from a bowl like the big boy he is! I know some of you are going to ask where mom is, Sweetie isn’t with him a majority of the time anymore because whenever they are together the first thing Theo goes for is her milk and she’s like nope! She still checks on him quite often, but is no longer laying with him 24/7 anymore. When we weighed Theo, he was a whopping 7.5 lbs!!! He was a good boy and didn’t wiggle around too much in his box on the scale. He can fully walk now! We let him wander around his room and he plopped onto the dog bed in there and wiggled under the mattress topper we cut up to put under the whelping pen so it’s more comfy for him. He slept there for 30 minutes before I had to move him back to the whelping pen because I got called for dinner. Once he was back in there and comfy with this stuffies he fell right back asleep! And for the biggest part of this update, Theo and Copper met!!!! We introduced Theo to Copper first because Copper is the most laid back and chill dog out of our dogs. I really wanted to get more pictures of their first meeting but even though copper is very chill, we had to have full attention on both copper and Theo to make sure nothing went wrong just to be on the safe side. Little Theo was scared for a minute, but he got brave very quick! The meeting went smoothly. We brought sweetie in while copper was with Theo and nothing went wrong! Sweetie is totally okay with copper being around Theo, next we’ll be introducing Olivia, then lastly, Nova. Theo now has a second room (the kennel) in the living room so he can be out with everyone else!

Our sweet Bassett girl is now four months old. I know it takes longer to potty train a basset, but who can give tips on how best to do it and how long did it take to train your basset puppy? I think her bladder is the size of a pea!!

Hi all, has anyone seen this on their hound?

I was cleaning his ears and noticed this. About half an inch in size, raised, sensitive to touch.

Any idea what it might be?

Thanks in advance.

More pictures and videos later since I’ll be stopping by my moms. These are from her. Just thought I’d share!
