Bradford

We adopted Mr. Bradford a month ago from GGBR. His foster parents, Melinda and Quincy, have done a great job on his weight loss program. We have continued Bradford's diet and exercise program, and he has been looking leaner and more energetic these days. All that loose skin from the weight loss makes him more "smooshy". Bradford is a very sweet and SILLY dog. He loves belly rubs and purrs when stroked and petted. For a basset hound, Bradford is quiet but that may mean he is sniffing around and being mischievous. We have not heard Bradford bay but he barks incessantly at the garbage truck that interrupts his beauty sleep (and ours, too) at 5:00AM on Tuesdays and Fridays. Housetraining Bradford is getting better; he's learning his boundaries and we've had fewer accidents. Riding in the car is still a work in progress. We are discovering new things about Bradford each day. We've noticed that he is highly food-motivated and will easily do tricks with a food reward. We were surprised to discover that he rolls over on command. We've learned Bradford has mastered the art of stealthily pulling table linens to drop food on the floor. He loves to sniff into any container in search of food. Thanks to GGBR for giving us the opportunity to have Bradford in our lives and all the ongoing support. Our lives have become more comic and interesting with Bradford. Rafael & Aileen Banaag
