What Happened To Polly: She Adopted A Basset Hound
Like many people, Polly thought basset hounds were lazy, not very bright, and low maintenance. So she adopted a 10 week old puppy she named Sugar. Sugar was very very cute.
She also, in the first 6 months, ate two remote controls, destroyed a dozen stuffed toys, dug up half the back yard, stole and ate a porterhouse steak, peed on Polly’s shoes, and ran out the front door causing Polly to chase her 3 blocks wearing only her underwear.
The next 6 months were just as bad.
But every time Polly thought about giving up on Sugar, she’d see those sad eyes and big nose and long ears and just melt.
Now, two years later, Sugar is much better. Still a little demon sometimes, but much better.
And, of course, she has two basset hound sisters now.
