Helen Barrowcliffe's Bassets

[amnd68]

Hello everyone!

Many of you will remember Helen Barrowcliffe, the founder of Basset Hound Rescue Quebec, who passed away suddenly earlier this year. Two weeks ago, my family adopted Hoover and Micky, Helen's own dogs. Unfortunately, Helen's husband was struggling to take care of them on his own and came to the difficult decision to let them go.

The good news, for them and us, is that they are now living in a house with a large yard and family that loves them. My two kids, ages 7 and 10, just adore them and the feeling seems to be mutual. I can promise you that they will be well taken care of for the rest of their lives.

I'm really glad Mick & Hoovey are with a new family. Fred really didn't have the time to take care of them at all with all the hours he worked and everything else. I can't wait to see a slimmer version of Hoover too LOL! Hope those kids of yours will give him lots of exercise!

Last time I saw Mickey & Hoover they were looking so darn sad, wouldn't leave Fred's side for anything. Lisette took them outside to play and Mickey whined until she let her back in with Fred.

Please keep us informed and oh yeah pics would be nice!

Hi Allison,

Thanks so much for taking Hoover and Micky into your heart and home; Helen adored her hounds and I know she would be extremely happy and grateful to know her babies were being loved and cared for. Helen was a lovely person who always tried to do her best and have a positive effect on the world around her, with varying levels of success, but never gave up. I'm glad that her faith in the inherent goodness of people has come through for her pooches. We'd love to keep up with them and you, so give us lots of updates!
