girlie  Basset Hound



Girlie is enjoying her new home. She's also starting to enjoy her new name - we nicknamed her "Goldiehound" for a bit, and after trying several dozen other names we're finding she's more interested in that one than any of the others. She likes the house, I've already taken her to work where everyone immediately began petting her and fawning over her, and she's definitely enjoyed the new evening habit of a long walk a while after dinner. As for us,  we're completely delighted. She's been loving and fun and incredibly  well-behaved - this last one being a bit of a surprise, because Goldie looks so much like our old dog Marauder who was a world-class  troublemaker. We put up a few pictures of Goldie to let family and friends know about her, and you can have a look at them too:  http://flyingmoose.org/goldie/goldiehound.htm

She is an older female (my guess is 7 or 8), and she appears to be pure bred Basset Hound. I cannot emphasize enough how sweet she is! She runs as fast as her little legs will carry her to meet me when I get home each day and her tail is constantly wagging. She gets along really well with my cat, but unfortunately she has had a few run-ins with my Springer Spaniel. She becomes agitated when he bothers her will sleeping (can't say that I blame her) and I'm afraid he may hurt her fragile back in his efforts to play. However, I feel confident that she would get along quite well with an older or more mild mannered dog. I do not have any children so I don't know if she is compatible with kids, but she has tried to run across the street to greet the neighborhood children several times so my best guess is that she likes children as well. Also, as far as I can tell she doesn't have any bad manners. I am able to leave my home for a few hours, giving her the run of the place and she just sleeps while I am gone. Ideally, I would love to see her go to an older person or couple who are around nearly all day, but I'm sure she would adapt fairly well to pretty much any home she was placed in.
