[Dailydrool] did you call my basset a BEAGLE???

[Jessica Sutton]

Hi Leslie!  Yes, I do get upset when people mistake my basset Diva for a
beagle.  Recently, she got out of the fence and the animal control
officer who called me asked "Do you have a beagle, Ma'am?"  I was so
freaked out that she was out of the fence, I didn't have time to say
"no, ding-dong, I have a basset...and what's-it-to-ya??"  ha ha   But
you know what's really funny is that it only bothers me when they think
she's a beagle.  If someone mistook her for a great dane or a yellow
lab, I would just giggle and correct them...when really, it's the same
mistake, ignorance about the breed.  Why is it that it offends us so
much when someone mistakes our bassets for a beagle, but not if they
mistake them for a german shepherd???  dunno, but it drives me bonkers
too!!!  
For the little paws that have gone on ahead, God speed little
houndies...make your way to the bridge!!  Goodness and joy awaits you!!!
And drool for all the sick houndies out there.  How is Casey?  Feeling
any better?  paws crossed for you little one.

Diva - I'm not a beagle!!!  and Sophie (what's a beagle??? can we eat
