Amelia--Our Basset Hound

The newest addition to our family is Walter Amelia Bedelia Cordelia--Amelia for short (we had some conflicts over what to name her...). She is about 5 months old right now and pretty entertaining. We call her our little drama queen because she is very demonstrative with both excitement and sorrow. You always know how Amelia is feeling.
When Amelia was about 5 weeks old we went and picked her out. She was the sweetest one and it was a long few weeks before we brought her home.

This is Amelia's favorite sleeping position. She also enjoys sleeping with her toys.
Amelia is the girl's little baby. After baths they would wrap her up in a towel and carry her around. She is a little to big for that now--however...
...she still thinks she is a lapdog. 

Betsy dressed up as Stalin one day. Amelia was her cohort.
Amelia has turned from our little black dog to our little brown dog. No matter what kind of dog she is she gets more love and attention than a dog needs.
