Well, apparently my house isn't active and hectic enough with three kids, two cats, and a blind, neurotic basset hound (Sandy) that would make Woody Allen green with envy. Today we picked up an eight year old mutt from the shelter who is calm and loving. His name is Lucky (and yes I bought megamillions lottery tickets today ). Sandy went blind about three years ago, and while initially adjusting remarkably, now at eight years of age she is getting very nervous, and some of her other senses are kind of going. She has a lot of separation anxiety whenever we leave the house, so we thought a calm brother might make her feel swell.

Here are pictures of 1) Sandy and my youngest, and 2) Lucky!

Can you guys help me guess what kind of mix he is? Not that it matters...

I think I detect some Collie... but what else?

Very sad weekend. Since bringing Lucky home last Tuesday it has been rough. Lucky has lived with an old lady by himself for 8 years, and is used to that. Despite getting along with Sandy, my bassett, wonderfully at the shelter for 90 minutes, any introduction to food in my house has been a calamity; he is very food-competitive, and has attacked Sandy thrice since last Tuesday night. Two of those times have resulted in Sandy going to the vet. Last night Sandy had 25 stitches on her snout, and this morning my tearful boys rode with me to take her back to the shelter.

We have tried so very hard. My son Billy loves Lucky actually more than Sandy. Billy, who needs the excercise, has been going for mile walks with Lucky three times a day. Today my boys learned, younger than I would have liked them to, that sometimes you have to make a decision choosing from all poor options. Hopefully Lucky will go to a home which doesn't have a nervous blind bassett. Tough Morning (Mourning). Wiley feel free to delete this thread. Thanks.
