Lucy, blind basset needs a new home!

Lucy is a 14-year-old blind basset hound. She's lost her family, friends, and home -- everything she knew in her life of darkness -- because unfortunate family circumstances forced her heartbroken family to relinquish her. In today's economy, so many folks are losing their livelihoods, then their homes. So we took Lucy to make sure she had a loving, peaceful and happy last few years of life. Sometimes, even with her hearing impaired, we think she perhaps sees shadows, because she tries to move towards what she thinks she hears. As you can see in the first and third photos, a large hematoma was removed from her ear, and the sutures will be removed sometime after next week (i.e., after March 24th). Lucy is up to date on all vaccinations, house trained, and has just learned how to use our doggie door. She is in the house with me along with our other blind gal, Sophina! Her teeth are sparkly white now, and she smells wonderful after a good grooming and bath. She'll be put on special senior allergy food, because she's itchy. We're trying Nature's Recipe, thanks to a very dedicated sponsor, Doug Dropp: Doug, Lucy sends you oodles of "thank you's"!!

*SOB* An innocent lost baby Basset Hound who is blind. How sad. My basset is not blind, but if he was I would be broken.

Seems like she has found a great home...caring people with one of her own kind to boot. God Bless you guys! It is so sad how this is happening all over the country.
