Opie was an unexpected addition to our family. In late September of 2000, a man who works with my husband came to work and said he would no longer be able to keep his basset hound, because he couldn't find an apartment that would allow dogs. That afternoon, my husband brought Opie home as a surprise for our 12 year-old daughter, Sarah.
Almost immediately he wormed his way into our hearts. He is always ready to play, his favorite toys are a multi-colored stuffed ball, and a small stuffed dalmation that he has carried around from the moment he moved in.
He loves to sleep curled up next to Rider or under the covers. He loves to sit in our laps with his feet curled under him like a cat. |
