Millie. By Bessie

On Thursday lunchtime Mummy texted a man who was advertising his Basset free to a good home on Gumtree.    At 2.30 he rang and said would she tell him more about the rescue cos most of the other messages he had sounded like they were from psychos.  So Mummy told him how Millie Basset would go to a lovely foster home and get spayed and vet checked and then we would find the perfect home for her.  She told him to go and have a look at the success stories on the website and call her back.  Half an hour later he phoned back and said come at 5 so she picked Katie and Bryn up from school and took Bryn home then Mummy and Katie went to pick Millie Basset up.

As it happens Millie Basset was more Beagle than Basset and maybe a little bit of Whippet thrown in there too but they brought her home anyway.   Daddy said, "What did you do that for?"  But Mummy said, " I couldn't leave her.  Of course I brought her home."

Millie stayed until Saturday morning.  She is very sweet and pretty and tiny but very bouncy and jumping off the settee and leaping onto the windowsills, stealing food and weeing everywhere.   But she will stop it soon, Mummy said she was very eager to learn so that makes her very trainable.  On Saturday morning Mummy and Millie drove to Sam's house.    Millie had a good run round the garden with Shirley, Ollie and Snoopy and then Louise and Dave came and they all had lunch and Millie stole some tomato but she didn't like it so she spat it on the rug.   Then Millie went back with Louise and Dave to Lisa's house to stay until after she has been spayed on Wednesday.
