It has been a crazy few days at the Blandford house! Soon after we lost Bentley we knew that we needed to find a new friend for Gracie. She has been really crazy since then and we are AMAZED at how much better she was as soon as we put Moose in our car.

Of course we wanted to rescue again and we wanted another basset. Once we found a rescue we decided we wanted a male who was less than 3. We were given a few choices but after seeing pictures decided on Moose, a 6 month old basset. On Sunday we made a 5 hour trip to visit him. Gracie used to love riding in the back of the Element with Bentley but once he was gone she insisted on sitting on Currey or I. This is how she spent most of the trip.

We were very anxious as us getting Moose was dependent on a good visit with Gracie. She can be a little cranky sometimes so we were glad she was on her best behavior. She did eventually get quarantined in the back of the Element.

As soon as we saw Moose we fell in love. He is absolutely precious! He and Gracie played and then we singed the paperwork making him ours.

We then had a 5 hour trip home but since Gracie had a friend she was fine in the back. It was a welcomed treat! Moose felt right at home.

Of course we had to stop by Wet Nose to see Joe and get some chew toys as Moose loves to chew. He and Gracie continue to get along well and they love to cuddle. It's cute. So here are a few pictures of Moose. We are one happy family!
