We lost our dear Dexter (Poodle) on 9/9/09. He died just 4 months after his brother Larry. Dexter also had a tumor in his chest. Dex was rescued while I was working as a home health care nurse. He was at one of the homes I was visiting. He was in terrible shape and abused, but one of the prettiest bassets I had ever seen. He was so scared of everyone. When the family told me what a bad dog he was, I volunteered to take him. He was so skinny and dirty. After scrubbing him, feeding him and showing im lots of love he became one of the sweetest hound dogs ever. He was a lover. His best buddy was Andrew. Dexter loved his brothers Butch, Larry and Snipper. He could barely wait for his supper and barked and barked until he got it.  He enjoyed walks, lying in the sun and cuddling. Dexter was part of our family  for  almost 11 years, we loved him very much. Dexter will be forever missed.
