This is Arnold

From my last post, this was my pupper. I want to share the good moments. Thank you to everyone who commented on my ‘He’s gone’ post.

He loved attention and scratches. Big fan of food and snuggles. He was so loving. I have so many happy memories with him. He was stubborn like me lol. He was very good at tricks. He despised the rain, if we were on a walk and it started to rain (as it does frequently in Ireland) He would just abruptly turn around the second a drop landed on him and I still remember having to run with him back home cause evidently it was an emergency to him not to get wet.

When he was a puppy he used to sleep in my room with me until the faithful day where he thought I must have looked very comfy and lay across me in my sleep. Waking up gasping and having to roll a basset off you who is knocked out from his own sleep is a difficult task.

He was a silly little goober. I have a spaniel who is long haired and I started to clip him to keep him clean and to deal with the summer heat better. One day after I clipped my Spaniel, the had all the hair on the floor ready to pick up and bin. Arnold comes in and goes for the hair, picked it up in his mouth and threw it in the air like it was confetti. It was funny but also there hair everywhere lol.

Arnold was my first basset hound. My first dog was a spaniel and when it came to getting another dog, I wanted a different breed as I thought another spaniel would be too painful at the time and that I didn’t want my last dog to feel replaced with the same breed. Arnold was so special to me as I’m sure every dog is to their owner.
