Yes, sadly Lucy had to be put down early last year. She was happy and chipper even at 14, but then got pancreatitis. We were going to take a break from dog for a while, and maybe not do Bassets, plan lasted about 2 weeks till I came home to find Betsy watching Basset puppy videos. A bit of searching, 2 months after Lucy we rescued Ruby, she was 5 1/2 months (someone got puppy from breeder as Christms present for small kids, then discovered what that was like). She;s 1.5 years now, very happy dog. If you come to NY and visit again, she'd like to meet you (we can open an ESJ Bassetti)

The whole Cordier stable (Meyney, Gruaud, Talbot) did so great that year. The Gruaud especially, though all offered great value (Gruaud 86 is getting expensive now)
