My name is Bowser but those who know and love me call me Tall boy. You see I am a six year old purebred long legged basset hound. Most of the basset hounds you meet are those short low riders whose legs are short and stumpy. But not me!!! I was gifted with long legs and a wonderful disposition. But just a few weeks ago I and my food slaves learned that I have osteosarcoma in my rear left leg. The tumor is about the size of a plum. My amputation surgery is scheduled for monday January 16. I have been not putting any weight on my bad leg for the past week so I am ready to get rid of this bad wing and get on with my life as a three legged wonder.
welcome tall boy – who knew basset hounds came in a tall variety!! you are a great looking guy, and you will feel much better once the sick leg is gone. make sure your folks get plenty of rest, cause the first couple of weeks can be tough after the surgery!!! paws crossed that you have a speedy and un-eventful recovery!
