Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new HoPper lovers! This is just in from Marilyn at HOP! Update about Jake the newest HopPer!
Marilyn states…..
“He’s a sweet old guy. Not bothered a bit by the other hounds and already used to a doggie door. I think he was still a little too stressed to eat his dinner, although maybe it was just the kibble he wasn’t interested in. He certainly had an eye on my dinner. 
But it won’t hurt him to miss a meal or two. He’s at least 10 lbs overweight. I definitely see green beans in his future. He’s sticking pretty close to my side so far. His vet records go all the way back to puppyhood, birthday 7/1998, with the same owner all that time. What an upheaval has life has taken.

He seems to like to snuggle with other hounds. He just helped himself to the bed Bessie was on, and doesn’t quite fit.
More loving Jake later! I think his owner died and Marilyn took himz in. Himz seems like he fits right in. Poor boy.
More loving Marilyn later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Welcome home Jake. If he wants to share a bed, he probably should find a bigger bed!
Poor old guy. He is probably use to snuggling with the other two bassets that he lived with.
(Jake, just say “no” to green beans!).
Green beans aren’t that bad. Jethro eats his green beans every day cuz he’s on the chunky side. I feed them to Rugs because he used to be on the chunky side and now he’s nice and slim. I don’t need to feed them to Rugs anymore cuz he doesn’t need to diet but I kept feeding them to him because for the first time since we’ve had him his poo poo was firm. So, I assumed it was the green beans that were helping with that so we kept it in his diet.
Poor Jake. He looks pretty happy though. He’ll find his naptime spot soon I’m sure.
Thank Marilyn for all you do! I always look forward to your updates.
I like a hound that knows how to make himself comfortable. Jake doesn’t look overweight to me, I just think the bed is too small in design.
himz got the face! makes me smile…
To paraphrase Garfield, Jake isn’t overweight, he’s under tall;) BWAHAHAHAH! He looks like a true cuddlebug! Welcome to HOP, Jake:)
Mary, Harley, Biggs and the “fluffy” Leo, who is no stranger to green beans;)
What a handsome fellow you are Jake:)
Thanks again Marilyn for the heart of gold that you have.
Have a Super life Jake
