Jomer was my very first dog. A big beautiful Basset Hound. He was a stinky little sucker, but I loved him. He passed away a month after I moved out to Ohio. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life. Shortly after Jomer passed, I got Egg Roll and I fell in love all over again. I renewed my love for Bassets while reading Pioneer Woman. She posts pictures of her Basset Charlie and her most recent addition, Walter. It really makes me wish I had a house with an enclosed yard so I could have 10 dogs. She recently made a post about 50 Bassets Running and I had click the link. Here is one of the pictures that most reminds me of Jomer.

Of course, I don't think Jomer ever ran in his lifetime. I do feel I wasn't the best parent for Jomer and that my mom did the majority of work. My whole family misses him. I think he was the first pet that was treated as part of the family. I have many fond memories of Jomer and wish that Egg Roll and Red could have their older brother.
