Our new dog just might be the ugliest dog in the world

My friend called me yesterday to tell me she found a Beagle/Bassett dog that looked a lot like Lady walking around in the neighborhood. She called the phone number on the tag and it had been disconnected. She knew how much we missed Lady so she thought we might want this dog. I was so excited when I heard it was a Bassett that looked a lot like lady. I told my kids that she was bringing the dog over and they were almost in tears with excitement. Well, she brought the dog over and, uh, no, not a Bassett, not even sure what it is. All I know is she has a tiny head on a very FAT body and her name is of all things... SPICE! We found out quickly that she is a VERY SWEET dog. She won't jump on you, sits when told, and she loves us. What more could you ask for in a dog? I did put her on craigslist and notified the pound in case somebody is looking for her. I just hope for Jake's sake that she really was abandoned because Jake is in love.
