At about 7 weeks old, Tanner was playing with his litter mates and ended up with a 1.5 inch gash in his right ear. It took multiple attempts and some creative bandaging, but we finally got it healed. As a result , Tanner didn't go to his new family until he was about 15 weeks old. Letting him go was very heart breaking. 3 months later, the new owners decided they were not bloodhound people. We graciously brought Tanner back into our family knowing, he simply was just meant to be part of our family. He is a lovable goofball, that keeps us laughing.
