the ‘born to be wild’ basset waddle

We adopted our Basset Hound, Gus last June from the Ohio Basset Rescue and he truly has been a fantastic addition to our family.  He comes to the office with us everyday and always gets our staff to grin. We were excited to support the oh-so-popular annual  Michigan Basset Rescue waddle fundraiser this past Sunday in downtown Birmingham… and what an entertaining day it was.

 

It was so funny to see 400+ Bassets in one area – and it's true "All they need is love".

 

Gus got quite comfortable in the lush grass while we're waiting for the parade to start.

 

One of the funniest parts of the day was admiring the wild outfits of the 'court'.  Apparently each year they nominate the royal crew and they get to ride in a fancy horse drawn carriage leading the way in the parade.  The theme this year was 'Born to be Wild'.

 

And we're off!

 

It was fun strutting (or waddling) our stuff down Old Woodward.  We can't wait for next year!
