We did it. We are dog owners again! A couple weeks ago Lane saw an ad in the paper for Hush Basset puppies for sale. This particular litter was ¾ basset hound and ¼ cocker spaniel. The ad said they looked like basset hounds but smaller. We decided to call and set up a time to look at the puppies. We didn’t tell the kids, especially Jacob, because we weren’t sure if we wanted to go through with it. So we looked at them and told the lady we’d let her know either way. It was right before the 4th of July and I knew I didn’t want to deal with a puppy over the 4th. We talked about it all weekend long and finally decided Monday night that we wanted to get a puppy for the kids. On Tuesday Lane, MaKena and I went to pick the puppy up. We then went to my grandma’s to surprise Jacob (He was visiting GG with Uncle Justin and Aunt Laura). His reaction was priceless. I wish I would have recorded it. He was thrilled. We decided to name her Daisy. It’s funny because MaKena will call her Daisers from time to time. She’ll say “Daisers come here.” The kids just love her but I have to be honest, I forgot how stressful the puppy stage can be. There have been many times I’ve ask myself “what were we thinking!!” But once she gets past her puppy stage and is fully potty trained it will be a lot better! She fits in well with our family!

I think I'm in love with her! I haven't ever heard of the mix of cocker with basset. Any idea what that is meant to contribute? We had to give away our basset before Easton was born since she had such an attitude and wouldn't listen for anything. I love them though! The shedding I could do without.
