Previous "All Ears" family members

Brusky was the first male basset to join the "All Ears" family. He and one of the other bassets were out in the back yard for their play time, when the other one opened the latch to the gate. They both got out, and Brusky made it to the road, and was hit.

RIP Brusky-Thanks for your joy, your wonderful personality, and the beautiful babies you made. I love you--you are missed!

Sir Louie Blackburn

9/5/05 - 3/11/10

Louie was a wonderful, gentle dog.

One day he twisted wrong, and his hind quarters became paralysed.

RIP Louie. I love you, and you are missed.

Baby Girl 2/2/05 - 10/2010

Baby Girl was the first basset to join the family. She had beautiful babies. She developed what was apparently some kind of tumor.

RIP Baby Girl. You were truly special and I will always love you. You are missed.

Previous members of the "All Ears Bassets" family

This is a tribute to the loving, loyal companions that have been a part of the family, that have moved on, either to Rainbow Bridge, or to their new forever home. When raising dogs and puppies, sometimes the day comes when a decision needs to be made about what is best for one of the family members. Below is a brief explanation of what has come of those pictured. Each holds a very special place in my heart, and each was a very important part of the family. I find it only fitting to include this page in loving memory of their time spent here, and their contribution to my life. Each one enriched my life.

Tinkerbelle - DOB 8/29/09

Tinkerbelle is a wonderful dog. She is presently with a family that has given her a forever home. Although she was given the opportunity to be a mama, mother nature has other plans, and Tinkerbelle was unable to get pregnant. In July, 2012, she was adopted.

She was with me since she was 7 weeks old, and she is missed. I'm thrilled she is now a family companion.
