BASIL..AL

From Susan: Hi Angie, Thank you for asking about Basil. He is settling in quite nicely. He is playing with our other dog, Tess, who we adopted a year ago today (Halloween 2011). It took him a little bit to go outside in our backyard without me but once Tess goes he follows her around and seems to enjoy it. Loves laying in the warm sunshine. He does really well on the leash on our daily morning walks. He loves the toys that are available to him and he can't quite get enough of human contact. He does well with our 9 month old grandson. He eats up all the love we give him. He sleeps in our bed and does real well all night long until it's time to get up and he smothers my face with his kisses! We took him to our vet's canine carnival on Saturday and he was a bit overwhelmed with all the dogs that were there and was content to stay in our arms to whole time. He is a lovely boy and we feel he was sent to us by an angel called Rolo ( he was our wire-haired we had to say good bye to in August)...what a old soul Basil is and we feel blessed he's in our home. Hopefully, you can open the pics I've attached. If not let me know as I want you to be able to see how well he is doing. We were told by our vet that he appears to be 9 years old instead of 7 that we were told when we adopted him but that's ok...we love him and all his 2 teeth. :) he is eating well and loves his soft treats given to him by our vet. From Billie: Basil has been an awesome addition to our home! He is a precious little guy that has a very sweet heart. Basil at first would not sleep in the big bed, he was content to sleep next to our bed in his doggy bed. The doggy bed has now been given over to holding all of his toys and he has moved to the big bed. He loves to snuggle and puts his head on the pillow like a person! He also loves to lay on the middle part of the sofa, and will often join Tess up there. Sometimes he loves to just lay out in the back yard in the sun for a bit on these cooler days. He and Tess love to wrestle and run around the house. It is a joy for us to experience how big his heart is! We are so lucky to have them both!!
