Howdy and good day!  My name is Violet, aka Bubiline (it's a very long story, how I got my nick name :)).  I am a Bluetick- Coonhound with a tiny touch of Basset Hound.  I am a country girl and about 5 years old, and my Mom rescued me from a rural high- kill shelter.  I was first very very scared about everything, even just to be in the house.  My Mom did extensive Behavior Rehab with me, since I had a lot of different behavior problems and have never been trained.  I used to be a neglected backyard breeding dog, and that's all I ever knew.  Now I have the most beautiful and safe home. I like to stick my nose in all the flowers in the yard, and absolutely love to go out with my Mom, Dad and my brother Watsy who I love dearly. I enjoy riding in the car and going to parks;... and I am my Mommy's training helper to rehabilitate other doggies, which is my favorite thing to do!  My Mommy says, I have a natural talent knowing just what to do in any situation.  I love people and all kinds of animals, and as you can probably guess by now, my fears and phobias I used to have, are melted away, and I am the happiest, funniest, and prettiest girl.:) I love my new life, all my 4- legged students, hanging out with my brother Watsy, and being lazy at times. :)  My Mom who I love dearly, says I am extremely smart, just beautiful, and also a "stubborn pain in the behind" (not sure what that means, but I know Mommy is always happy around me, so it must be something good! :)) Have a peachy day!
