Bowser here!  My old family brought me to HOP from VA on 7/12/2008.  See, my daddy died and mom couldn't take care of me anymore.  I was 10 years old.

But she still wanted me to have a good home, so she called Basset Rescue of Old Dominion.  They were pretty full so they told my mom about House of Puddles.

I was pretty healthy boy when I got here.

Just a natural born couch potato.

So my new mom made me eat GREEN BEENS!  They was awful.

I thought I was gonna die of starvation

I tried to pass the hungry times by sleeping.

I even found my own, private bedroom.

THEN, like I wasn't losing weight fast enough, she took me to the doctor and they cut out some of my fat lumps.

At least I had a nice warm porch to recuperate on.

I've kind of gotten to like the good life here.

And there's some pretty hot girls to sleep with, too.

I like it when we have company.

They feel sorry for me 'cause I've wasted away to nothing so I get lots of attention.

I am an excellent fireman.

Girls just love a man in uniform!

I am also an expert ticket picker.

Sorry hon, gotta go.
