About this time two years ago, we ventured down the motorway to 'just look at' some basset hound puppies that were for sale. I say 'look at' but really we already knew it was highly likely that we would end up bringing one back home with us. Our previous basset hound Oscar had passed away…
Our boy Boris is 2 years old this weekend... And yesterday, as we woke to a misty, murky morning and made breakfast, his birthday treats began with cuddles, tummy rubs and...sausages !
