Olivia

Here are some pictures of Olivia who is known as Olive now. (From Corning with olives and goes with Willow as a "tree" theme.) We are so pleased with our experience with GGBR and Olive. She is a perfect match for us. Willow, our 9 year old was quite depressed when her best basset friend, Llola, went over the Rainbow Bridge the end of February. Now that Olive is here, the two of them play, run around our rooms in the morning like crazies doing the Basset500 and they go out roaming the yard as a team of Bassets each day. Olive is the sweetest and loves attention. We are calming her down with her exuberant greetings and teaching her scratching our bare feet isn't the only way to get our attention!! Otherwise, she is perfect. She fit right into our routine and seems to like our other animals, even the cats. Since we have only ever had Basset Hounds, we are obviously biased that Bassets are the best, even when they do "basset-things." The wonderful couple who fostered Olive provided very helpful and accurate information about her. They delivered her, which was not expected, and couldn't have been nicer. We have been texting some Olive updates since. After the approval process, it didn't seem to be very long until GGBR found us this wonderful addition to our family. We can't imagine her ever having been called a "stray" and are so pleased to have her in her forever home. Ron Inouye and Marti Denk, Stockton, 27Aug2023
