Jasmine

Our happy adoption! We adopted Bibi (Jasmine) Labor Day weekend 2009 after the last of our three Springer Spaniels died that summer. My husband and I quickly learned that we were out of practice with training a puppy. Unfortunately, we lost reading glasses by the case and a Bluetooth or three before Bibi trained us that anything that dropped on the floor was hers. During the first year that Bibi lived with us, she spent hours outside "guarding" the house, watching the neighbors and the road. Because Bibi liked to spend so much time outside alone, we decided she needed a companion. So, Penny, a dachshund-beagle rescue, joined our household in June 2010. What a pair! Where Bibi can be quiet and timid, Penny is curious, adventurous, and always in motion (which means that Bibi's quiet guarding-alone days are gone.) We love them both, finding ourselves laughing a lot at their racing, hiding, wrestling, and chasing each other around the house and yard. They're inseparable until they collapse for a much needed puppy nap. We really want to thank Worthy Tails for starting us on our new dog family.
