I am certain one and all are anticipating the day I would start going down the doggo memory lane. You will wait no more. Introducing two of my three bassets. These two did live together for two years. Lots of twos in there.

Are you going to eat that?
This Is Not a Yawn!
Howard worked himself up from a barely audible squeak until he reached this, full-blown howl that could shake the roof. It was all about biscuit time.
Aroooooooo

The grandkids have (or maybe had, not sure) a Bassett in their other house.
You grandkids had the opportunity to be around a living, breathing cartoon, AC. They don't need to do anything and they still made me laugh.
That video and his voice made Hannah look around as if she'd found a Bassett in her house!
Great memories of fantastic dogs!
Thank you! ❤️
Hannah couldn't imagine what on this earth that sound was, Val!
You are welcome, Cheerful.
Beautiful, the most wonderful memories that will stay in your heart forever! I carry my first pug in my heart; she was 14 years old when I said goodbye to her forever. This other one, Ula, is now 12... I pray she will be with me for a looong time, life isn’t the same without her. Sending a hug and a kiss, Andreja!
Isn't it amazing how they get into your heart? Every dog I've had, even the puppy we only had a week got into my heart. Long story, mother dog didn't want it. It had seizures. We tried to keep it going but it wasn't to be. I still feel sad and it was 45 years ago.
The lady who sold us this house had a bassett, his name was Henry. Henry LOVED to howl. Aaaaahhhwoooooooo.
So beautiful.
Yes, They fill us with joy, Andreja, They are all special and loved. I fell apart when Howard died. I am sending you good wishes for a long life foe Ula.
They do, Ami. We spend more time with them than we, or at least I, spend with any person. Howard had glaucoma for several years that required daily treatment. It's common in bassets. The last year of his life he developed congestive heart failure. I kept him alive for a year, longer than was predicted. When he died I felt like I lost a part of myself, which I guess I did. Losing a puppy would be terrible.
They are not apartment dogs. Neighbors don't want to hear them singing the song of their people!
Howie would thank you, Linda!
Sweet photos Sandra and truly adorable! Years ago our son had a friend who walked his Basset. On every walk he would suddenly become flat Bassett. He had to carry him home lots of times and it’s a fun memory.
I or probably anyone would not have been able to carry deadweight Howard. The fellow weighed 110 pounds! I'm happy you got to experience a basset and the fact basset syndrome, Denise.
I had a basset hound for a short while. They are sturdy dogs. When I played the clip of the guy howling, Charlie woke up and crawled under the desk.
They have the most bone density of all dogs, Pixie. Poor Charlie!
I can see that from my memory of this dear basset Sandra :) My son's friend was a big lad and he managed. I do remember offering him our wheelbarrow once though, lol!
He had to be very strong to lift that dead weight, Denise!!
Aw, I love Bassetts! We had one, briefly, but she decided she wanted to live with younger people, specifically a young buy who lived about a mile away through the woods. She would run off to his house all the time, so finally we gave her to him.
That biscuit howl made me laugh! What a character!
Character. That sums them up perfectly, Sue. She knew what she wanted. They generally get what they want!
