Is it live or is it Memorex

All of our dogs are rescues, except for Ruf who came home with us because the police officer thought we needed a guard dog and she had a litter that she needed to find homes for. So they all have little quirks that came from their old homes (or we assume that is where they came from). For instance Cocoa, Ralph and Katie react to door bells. We have never had a door bell so if we are watching a movie and a door bell rings they head to the front door and start barking. Haven't tested Kirby on this one yet. But today D put in the movie "Three Men and a Baby." Remember in the beginning when the baby shows up and they try everything to keep the baby quiet? Well as that was playing out Kirby started getting upset. The more the baby cried the more he was agitated. Finally he started jumping up on the TV to find out where the baby was. At this point D decided it was best not to upset him any further, so we may not be able to watch that movie again unless we mute the baby crying. Even when I ejected the tape 30 minutes later Kirby was still looking for the baby. I thought for a second that he was going to take the tape and run with it.

A new man decided to live with us this week. D has had Basset Hounds all his life, they are his favorite dog. He kept telling me he wanted one but of the dogs that needed homes none were Bassets. Then one day we went to the feed store to get Smokey some food so he doesn't have to eat the bird seed and we saw a sign.

Basset to a good home. I tried to cover the sign because we had just decided not to increase our family again. But...Kirby came home with us anyway. Isn't he beautiful!!! And just as sweet as can be.
