[Mary Tipping]

Here is a link to the Basset Hound on Animal Planet's Dogs 101 in case
you missed it!:

And....how to keep a basset from following its nose?  I have two words
for you:  Im Possible.  I have learned (well, I sometimes need a
refresher course) that I must now think like a basset and keep any and
every item that I value in a tightly closed closet or drawer, in the
car, or high on a shelf.  Years ago Harley chewed a hole in a very
expensive fur coat (it was a gift, I would never buy one) that I left
casually draped over a chair (card carrying member of PETA, perhaps?).
He has destroyed the heels off countless shoes and boots left on the
closet floor, and tore a lovely silk dress off its hanger and chewed
holes in it.  He once stole a half pound of Stilton cheese off the
counter at a guest's home and an entire stick of butter off the table at
a dinner party.  He completely obliterated my cell phone, several
times--at the end I was having to press the numbers with a ballpoint
pen, and even then having to guess what they were because the template
thingey was gone).  Biggs recently chewed the heels of a pair of leather
boots I possessed for exactly one week, and last week it was a pair of
pumps.  Just a few days ago I found my new wool turtleneck with dried
drool all over it and several holes chewed through it.    Roland, are
you listening???  Vigilance, my friends, eternal vigilance...!
