this is one lucky guy!

We picked up Patrick O'Smiley (formerly known as Beaker) a little before St. Patrick's day near Hanover PA.  The foster dad was kind enough to hold him for a couple of weeks until we went to Illinois to see our son graduate from Navy boot camp because I didn't want to bring Beaker home and have to leave him with a sitter!  

Well, let me tell you since we got him, he has been a little doll!  He is really small and has been great since the moment we met!  He was great on the ride home and gets along great with our two-year-old female basset.  

He has had the best time finding all her toys and hiding them, she just sits and watches, wondering, what is he doing?  They have had a great time chasing each other, wrestling and just hanging out!  

Today our weather was great and my daughters took him to the park.  Now he is zonked out!  

He is so friendly to all our neighbors, old and young, who have stopped by to meet him!  I will recommend and have recommended BROOD to one and all!  Bassets are Best!    

P.S. We named him Patrick in honor of St Patty's Day and the fact that he has red fur and freckles, O'Smiley comes from his smilin' face!
