Howard and Murphy
Why I Love Bassets
In Pictorial Form
Drooly, yeasty beasties. Splatter paint the walls every time they shake their head. Demanding, endearing. Stubborn. Did I say stubborn? They are living, breathing cartoons. I am happy to have known them.
I had a couple of basset clients in my petcare business. Those guys can put on a great sudden burst of speed when something like a squirrel makes it necessary. Ears flying, amazing speed. For about thirty yards, no need to get carried away.
Val, I can't be mad, it's true! My favorite horse was a opinionated fellow who needed to be asked, never told. I love the hounds, both sight and scent. Although I loved the bad girl, I would never have another Afghan Hound. They don't care one whit what you want! Bassets are hilarious without even trying.
Terriers are too much for me. I like to visit, not live with!
Boud, I found it in spam. They can be remarkable quick. Mostly they do flat basset. A friend used to say moving Howard when he didn’t want to move was like moving a wet bag of cement!

Don't be angry with me... but sometimes our pets are just like us?
LOL.
My Jack Russell ---> unending, boundless energy, always on the move, always playing, boing boing doggy.

Hubby always wanted a Bassett. He is a hound fella.

Oh the photos are great! I used to baby sit a Bassett because the owner didnt like to leave her alone...Chance liked her so it all worked out:)
I'm so sorry Sandra, I didn't realize Keetah had died. I still miss Lucy, at the oddest times. I read about Keetah and started crying.
Far Side, they are great dogs with an attitude. Mine got along with all the dogs.
Thank you , Pixie. You were on vacation, I wouldn’t expect you to know. Lucy was your German Shedder.
Lucy was our beagle. The german shedder is still with us:)
Ah, ok. Now I remember.
