Guess what we did yesterday?

1) Put down a deposit on a new Honda Civic Hybrid, to be delivered in November

or

2) Adopted a dog

or

3) Donated a large sum of money to Sarah Palin, to assist in name recognition (ok, enough politics from me already)

Two of the above choices are true. Guess which two.

Introducing Rosie! She’s a five year old basset/beagle mix. I think she may be more basset than beagle, ’cause she’s pretty low-key. I’m pretty sure we just adopted an ottoman with a pulse.

She is very definitely a mama’s girl. She loves on me something fierce. Her favorite thing is belly rubs and hugs. And sleeping. She’s real big on sleeping. Rosie the Wonder Basset is also a little on the heavy side and could stand to lose a few. I may not be an expert, but I suspect a basset shouldn’t weigh 48 and one-half pounds.

Rosie doesn’t bark. Haven’t heard her yet. She went over and met Haley, our neighbors’ three year old labradoodle, did the whole sniffing thing, and left. Haley is still quite the puppy and Rosie was having none of that. Might interfere with finding a shady spot in the yard. Or sleeping.

So I’m sure there will be more stories of Rosie the Wonder Basset. She’s been with us about a day and we don’t know what we did without her. Astonishing that a passed-out ottoman can make such an impression.

  1. You may want to invest in a ramp so Rosie can get into the new hybrid car. Bassets are notorious for their inability to scale tall things like um, volkswagens. They’re usually pretty good on stairs like in the house, although it is usually an effort to go up or down, but a car may require a portable ramp or step, particularly if it sits high off the ground. She is utterly adorable, though. And yeah, after one day you can’t imagine life without them. We’ve got Quinn the little Irish MinPin and I cannot remember what it was like to not have her here. My magical, bouncy, expressive, fearless little girl. Who weighs half what the cat does. Yeah. I get what you’re going through. Congratulations!

  2. Rosie is adorable! So cool about the car…wish I could talk my hubby into one!

    Okay, so we didn’t get to go to the convention together but let’s shoot for celebrating sometime during the later part of the second week of November! ha ha

  3. Oh you have to give me the details, we may be in the market. I was ironically enough checking out labradoodle breeders (although we aren’t really the breeder type) but I do like their breed qualities, namely the shedding factor.

    congrats, new car and new dog, wow!
