 Toby's Story,Hi I am Camerer’s Toby Boy! My family members just call me Toby. I am a ten month old very active male. So active that I have been in five different homes over the past nine months. Boy that was very confusing! Right now I am in my permanent forever home in central New York. The new home is special. It came with a preselected family of three more Basset Hounds. I am one of four beautiful family members. My family consists of one female and three males. My sister and brothers range in age from three to thirteen years. So this makes me the ‘puppy’ of the family. This is nice because I am treated very specially. The constant moving about between families was very hard on me. I could never get settled into a regular routine. Just as I was adjusting to one daily routine I was moved to a new household. Now I am happy and settled in with my family. Jake, the youngest of my brothers, was very jealous when I first arrived home. He just sat, starred and barked at me for several hours. Now we are the best of buddies! Maggie, the thirteen year old, has learned to tolerate me. She has a special advantage place in the home where she attempts to ‘control the herd’. If any of us act up the matriarch, Maggie, will put us back in line very quickly. This is OK with me. I like all of the extra attention. Maggie has also taught me a new trick. She taught me how to sit straight up on my haunches and make special funny faces to entertain the humans in the household. My sister, brothers and myself are very lucky. We have a very large fenced in backyard. We can play and sun ourselves for long periods of time when the human adults are home. We enjoy chasing birds and after a long afternoon of play there is time to lay quietly under the large pine tree in the corner of the yard. I am very tired after a long busy day and like to rest at night on a very warm waterbed. This keeps me warm on cold wintery stormy nights. |
