Just to let you know that Cheerios, as Barkley is now known, is doing
very well.  As you can see from the pics, he has found some of the
choicest spots in the house to have a snooze. 

But don't let that fool you!  He is quite active and chipper and enjoys our long walks with his two new Basset "sisters" and (slightly) older Lab "brother".

My vet found he had been suffering from a skin infection and we are
working on clearing that up so he won't be so itchy all the time.  I will also try to put some weight on the skinny fellow!

People love him - and his new name - wherever he goes and he is a great pet. Thanks!

Update May '11 ...

Thought I would send this pic of two of your "graduates" of a few years ago who now live with me:  Ellie-Mae and Cheerios (formerly Barkley).  Both continue to do very well.  Cheery has proven to be a real character.  From having patchy hair with rough red spots, his coat has recovered to be beautifully long and lush (for a basset) with a funny big brown spot on his tummy.  Super dogs both - thank you!
