Dogdom



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.




I do believe I've put enough photos up for you to catch the common Basset theme. They can be slugs. They are also incredible clowns and very stubborn beasts. They have a thing called 'flat basset'. When they decide they are not going to move, down they go and good luck to the poor soul who thinks they will move them. My friend and helper on the farm said it was like moving a wet bag of cement. With big-boy Howie it was probably two wet bags of cement.

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!
