My Snuggles

This is my rescue pup Snuggles, she turned 11 years old January 2, 2011. Her liter was a woops liter and all the pups found homes. Snuggles has been with me since she was 6 weeks old, she is part Lab and part Basset hound and 45 pounds of pure lap baby. She definitely has the hound traits but I wouldn't trade her for the world. She loves to go on bye bye rides, walking or playing ball in the house. She has her own bed but she prefers to sleep in the middle of my bed between me and my husband. She is the best medicine I have found for depression or anxiety. Sometimes I think I love her too much, but then again I don't think that could ever happen.

I look forward to retirement because I have a HUGE dream that I want to fulfill, which is starting my own retirement home for the elderly dogs that are dropped off at the shelters and left because they are getting too old, or they have been at the shelters already. I want to make what time they have left on this earth the best they can have, with as many hugs, kisses, and lap time they desire. (Oh and treats, can't forget those!) I know my Nuggie-Bear would want me to help and love as many fur babies as I could.
