Separated at birth?
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and separated at birth lovers:
I opened a special e-mail last night. I did not recognize the sender and at first glance I thought, I wonder why this person is sending me a picture of Emma?
But guess what? This is not Emma! This is a boy hound named Bo! It could Emma’s twin brother. Bo was rescued by a group in Texas. His family gave him up. Cathy is Bo’s new Mommy. Cathy saw Bo on the internet and Bo was transported to New England for her to foster. Cathy was a foster failure! Shortly, there after Bo was diagnosed with primary glaucoma and had both of his eyes removed around Christmas. I am happy to report he is doing just great!
I cannot get over all of the similarities. They think Bo is about 6 years old and Emma will be 6 this month. Wouldn’t that be something if they are related? Most of Emma’s litter came down with glaucoma. I guess we will never know, but I sure love this little boy and brand new resident of basset hound town! Now for the comparison picture of our Emma!
Just amazing.
More keeping up with Bo later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Very interesting – they look very similar except that Emma has much longer ears. It would be interesting to know how many boys/girls were in her litter and who has them now. Maybe you will eventuall learn more.
There were 7 pups in her litter. 4 girls and 3 boys. 2 of the girls have passed. One right after birth and the one a few months ago from stomach cancer and she had glaucoma. She also had a number of litters.
I know of one of the boys that has glaucoma. The other 2 boys I don’t know about. The other girl I believe does not have glaucoma but the Mom does not keep in touch with me. They live in WA state.
I also know that Emma’s Mom and Dad had at least one maybe two more litters.
Crazy
Sure looks like they could be Bro and Sis. One trait that is identical, PRECIOUS !

Amazing. He is very cute but our Emma is much more beautiful.
She is more beautiful, but Bo is more Handsome! Hehehehehehehehe
They do look a lot alike. But like Cindy says “Emma is beautiful”. I so respect Cathy for adopting him, he is such a handsome hound. But who couldn’t love a face like his.
The could be twins, but Emma looks more dainty and delicate and Bo looks solid and husky.
MY BO BOY! I’d forgotten to check to see if you’d posted the picture Cat, and there it is!!!
Yes, Emma is very beautiful (love the birthday pictures by the way) but our boy is just a cutie!! They do look alot alike don’t they?
It would be really remarkable if they were related.
