Memorial Service
One of the hardest things to do each year is to come to the Waddle after losing a loved pet. Our memorial service aims to ease the pain of losing a loved one by sharing in the celebration of Basset Hounds and all animals. If you've lost a pet since the last Waddle and would like him or her to be remembered at this year's Memorial Service, please send an email to Tara Gardner.
