Greetings!
Well, I think my life may be going to the dogs! Literally. For
some of you, this may not come as any big surprise as you know me
well enough to tease me about my asthma being kennel cough and you
know that nothing, not even my nicest dress clothes, will prevent me
from getting on the floor with the dogs. Nevertheless, I knew I had
crossed some kind of line when I purchased a book on cooking for
your dog. I got the book just for fun, right? Well, I decided to
give one of those recipes a whirl...heavily modified for my slow
cooker because I didn't want to slave over a stove all day. (I'm not
THAT bad, right?) Well, I must admit, I'm sold on this cooking
thing. For one, my Annabelle is a very fussy eater. She's not turned
down one meal since! Second, I'm surprised at how much better she's
been digesting her food. All the digestive woes I dealt with before
seemed to have disappeared. And, when you are 'pooper-scoopering'
your yard, that's a pretty valuable thing!

Clear off the basset slobber and clear out the cobwebs...
It's time to start saving your stuff...
The UFBH Garage Sale has been planned for April
30, 2005. Please consider donating items for us to sell.
We've had several senior bassets that needed to visit the
veterinarian's office in the last month. Our bills are going
to be pretty expensive. UFBH will donate any items not sold to
other local nonprofit groups such as the women's shelter.
This year, the Garage Sale will be held at:
2844 E 3365 S
Salt Lake City, UT 84109
We will be open for business by 8 AM.
Maps and directions can be provided upon request.

Annual Wasatch Waddle |

The 2nd Annual Wasatch Waddle was a rousing success! I'm
happy to say that this year, we did not get in trouble with
parade officials for delaying the parade by almost a full
block!
Now, for a drumroll, please...
We raised $1845!!! Peggy and Andy Chudd along with their
grand-daughter, Mikaela, brought in the most pledges at $240!
Mary Kemp made second place with $215! Thank you to the Chudd
family and Mary for working so hard on behalf of the bassets!
Great big 'thank you's' to ALL those who participated.
Basset rescue wouldn't be possible without you.

 Harley
Just before this past Christmas we received an adoption
request from a young couple looking for a basset for the
wife's brother, who had recently lost his elderly dog to
cancer. Choosing a pet for someone else is not a good idea,
and we especially don't like them to be given as "gifts". The
family was very understanding and agreed not to rush the
process and wait until their brother could participate. Our
little Harley went to live with his new family right after the
holidays. This adoption could not have had a happier ending.
Although a "new best friend" can never replace one that has to
leave us, Harley's arrival was a great comfort for Daniel, and
they bonded immediately.
 Jerry
Some of our rescued hounds take longer than others to find
their forever home. Our special little guy, Jerry, had been in
UFBH care for over a year. Each time he moved from one home to
another I couldn't help but wonder what he must have been
thinking. Not once did he "complain" or lose his wonderful
spirit. And then it happened, his forever Mom & Dad found
him, and now he even has a basset sister, Rosie to hang out in
the garden with. Thanks for being so patient, "Jer".

Zippy is a sweet boy with a somewhat unusual fear of
stairs. If he loves you, you WILL know it as he is very
generous with his kisses. Although, he is much happier now
than he's been in awhile, Zippy has had a rough time of things
lately. Since coming into our care, he's struggled with
chronic urinary problems and his hair loss has not improved
much. We are guessing that for many years he was neglected as
his previous owner was very elderly and has since passed away.
At this point, we are still running tests to determine the
cause of his health issues. We have a sneaking suspicion that
he may have Cushing's... Find out more about
