My dad was exceedingly fond of beagles so he looks a lot like the dogs that raised me too, just twice as big. I'm twice as big too now so it ought to work out just fine.
Last September my little puppy suddenly became unresponsive and died while I was rushing her to the emergency room. At my age I've certainly had to say goodbye to my share of dogs and I had barely had her for a month, but for some reason it hit me really hard. The day before Thanksgiving I wound up taking on another rescue named Rocky. He's about a year and a month and looks to be more foxhound than basset but has proven to be every bit the trip hazard. I think I may finally be coming back around now.

Bassetts are a trip...literally. A few months ago I was helping a friend move a bookcase. He has a Bassett Hound named Rocky. What a baby. Goofy and needy and danged cute. Anyhow Rocky got behind me because he has to be a part of everything going on; and I did a backward trip, and in turning to catch myself from falling on him I hit my mouth on a wooden crate, my mouth exploding. Serious blood and drama ensued. My friend was freaking out and wanting to dial 911 etc. There was so much blood initially that I just knew that I had knocked my expensive dental work out but it became clear that I had bitten through my bottom lip. The fight was stopped and Rocky declared the winner by TKO. Fat lip persisted for the next few months. It was ugly. All Rocky could day was duh. Lol

I love Bassets. I think they are God's greatest creation. Jake is looking over my shoulder, I had to say that.
