BBB -- Basset Butt Bonding


What is UP with this?! Every night it is the same thing. I get pushed to the middle of the couch by the "big guy" (Buford). Within minutes the "little one" (Della) has jumped up on the other side of me. I am now wedged between two bassets--and that may be fine, but....

At some point during their evening shut down BOTH of them rotate so that each has their butt shoved up against one of my legs! WHAT IS THAT??

No matter where either of them sleeps, if I'm next to them it is inevitable that they will have their butts attached to me. It is so incredibly bizarre.

Della Graduated!

I AM SO PROUD OF HER!! Della just finished her Basic Obedience Class at the Wilmington Kennel Club. I got this great certificate and she got to choose a toy...which she successfully ripped to shreds before we were half way home. (And how she did that to one of those extra tough tennis balls I will never know.)

She had a pretty good night...ok, it was exceptional because I have been away for the last 2.5 weeks and we had ZERO practice time! SHE EVEN DID DOWN TONIGHT!!

We failed miserably when we played Musical Chairs though. She wanted to EAT the paper instead of sit on it! But what do you expect from a basset hound?!

COGRATULATIONS my little wonder pup!
