[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 380500, member: 84"] Holly our little 2nd basset hound. She was blonde and white and one of the sweetest things on 4 feet. But she was pretty small for a basset, even a female. She always knew when one of us wasn't feeling well.......and would cuddle to make us feel better. Only time this became an issue was with my kidneys because having a 50 plus pound dog in your lap with kidney pain.....omg. But I learned to endure it because she loved me soooooo much she just had to make me feel better or else she'd sit at my feet and cry pitifully. She positively adored the kids and had no issue at all with Travis' too rough handling, she sensed he was special and just went with the flow. And I can still recall her always napping with Nichole (ages 4-7) on the couch........too darn cute. Next would be Rowdy. He's loyal to a fault. Never barks unless it's necessary. And patiently waits to be loved.....which these days isn't very often because there are no kids at home anymore. When we got hit by that truck, because he was hit as well, he ran home for help. Rowdy has never received any formal type training, so that was pretty amazing. Molly though is on the top of the list. She was sort of named after Holly because their personalities are very similar. Brave enough to run off many intruders, yet gentle and loving enough to lay with a baby on the floor to watch over it. She as adopted a bunny, a lizard, a guinea pig, hamsters, frogs, kittens, puppies, a snapping turtle......not the field mice though they were over the top and she tried to swallow it. lol Growing up she's been Nichole's constant companion. They've played soccer, frizbee, sledded together, made snow forts together, fished together (and yes Molly catches fish lol). Honestly, I'm not really sure Molly knows she's a dog.:raspberry-tounge: Oh and can't forget Bruce the cat. lol He always has to be with me no matter what I'm doing. Even now he's perched on the back of my computer chair. lol But the overall thing is the total unconditional love and affection. They're always thrilled to see us if it's been days or 15 mins. Now where else can you find that type of utter adoration.:happy: (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
