The 'newest additions' to our family

Introducing 'Lillie' and 'Copper' !

'Lillie' and 'Copper' are now home with us. When I went to pick out one, they were 3 weeks old and they were all nursing. I immediately spotted one and was drawn to the male. I don't know why by I fell in love with him and didn't even see his face yet. I picked him up and it was all she wrote. I had to have him...then I spotted a female. I picked her up and just had to have her as well. I observed them and they always played together, separate from the rest of the litter. I assumed they had a bond and I didn't want to break that.

Well, I fell in love with BOTH of them and couldn't decide...and like a potato chip...I couldn't have just one...soooo I got both!

'Copper' and 'Lillie' are now 3 months old. They are growing every single day and as 'Lillie' grows I have noticed something very special about her. Look at the picture below and let me know what you see...

'Copper' reminds me of my 'Buster'. His disposition is a lot like 'Buster' was. I call him 'my sweet boy'. 'Lillie' is more rambunctious and she thinks she is a big girl. It's funny listening to them because of there barks and howls are getting a little deeper and loooonnnggerr. It's so cute!!

They are both very precious and each have their own personalities and look. 'Lillie' has a more "photogenic" look and 'Copper' has more of a precious little boy look.

'Copper'

I have lots of pic's of my bassets. Bassets are so photogenic and I love catching their expressions! I could be out there with them all da long and still not be able to catch all of their expressions. They are a big ball of fun and I look forward everyday playing with them. They are such a joy to have. When they look at you, they just melt your heart. I just want to gobble them right up!

We play with them in the yard for hours. I always have my camera handy to catch their 'poses'. They are spoiled rotten and I wouldn't take anything for them.If the one sees me playing with the other, they run over to get some of the attention. I love 'em.

I'm glad we got both of them. They have not had to be separated at all since birth and I believe it has helped them adjust to their new home quicker.

'Copper' is a mama's boy. He stays close to me...just like 'my Buster' did. When I went to pick my new puppy out. I said a prayed for the Lord to direct me to one like my Buster. When I walked into the garage, they were all nursing and had their backs to me. I immediately pointed to the one that became my little 'Copper'. He is a lovebug...just like my 'Buster' was. Then I found the little girl who later became my little flower 'Lillie'. She is a live wire. She runs with 'Dodger' , our adult Basset and our Husky/Malamute. She thinks she's a big girl. 'Copper' mostly chooses to stay close to me. Or play with 'Lillie'.
