Meet Lucy My Basset

My Bassett, Lucy, is two years old, but I’ve only had her for ten months. She went through a couple of owners before we found each other. (Personal issues came up, and they couldn’t keep her.) She’s a joy! I’m so thankful we found each other!


Meet Lucy
Oh, and she likes to watch me work! I feel eyes on me and look over and see this! 👀

I know this is a deviation from my typical recipe post, but I wanted to share a glimpse into my home life and Lucy brings me so much joy. You may remember her from the photos in my post: Is a Basset Hound a Good Fit for a Family?

The black collar in the photo above and below is a dog training collar. Yes, it will shock, but I’ve never shocked her. (That sounds terrifying!) I got it because I couldn’t keep up with her when I was outside. She’d run off, and it’d take me a while to find her. After she almost ran onto a busy street following a runner, I invested in it. I only have to make it beep now, and she comes back.

The other item I got was this car seat cover. Bassets have long nails and shed a lot. The cover saves my seat and car and my sanity!


You can see the training collar in the above photo. It’s the black one. Below are some of my favorite products for Lucy.
