[Dailydrool] No That's Definately a Basset....

[Kristin Mielke]

Took Mr.  Hushymouse to the vet yesterday for the monthly claw clip wrestle 
tournament.  I get the front end (Biting end), tech gets the back end 
(kicking end), vet gets to clip while praying please no vein, please no 
vein,,,Hushy gets a biscuit at the end.  We are trying the Dremel but his 
nails are so thick it does not seem to put a real dent in the growth, but I 
am confident we are making some progress as my dexterity and nerves improve. 
  I will save the tale of me purchasing said dremel for doggie nail trimming 
at the very manly hardware store for a later date...but rest assured it is 
worth the wait.  Anywho on with the story....
As we emerge from the vets exam room I spy a very young little houndie boy 
in the waiting room. Now bassets are a rare site arround here so we had to 
say hi.. Attached to the leash was a young couple.  Hushy immediately went 
over and gave a big snooter kiss to the buppie...horrified I quicly blurted 
is your basset sick or are you just here for a routine visit...silent prayer 
that said basset who is now attached to Hushy does not have virilant kennel 
caugh, worms, or any other yuck....as Hushy is the canine equivalent of the 
bubble boy due to his frequent flyer status at the vetspital.  And this is 
when the hilarity began......Husband and slave to buppie answers"No he is 
here for a check up, we just got him but he isn't a Basset, he is a beagle" 
Me who cannot keep my mouth shut..."No I don't think so, that's a Basset, 
see, ahh...big feet, big snooter, long ears, very close to the ground, large 
chest...baby Basset...maybe Bagel, but deffinately not a beagle,  looks like 
full Basset to me"  Female buppie slave "No he is a beagle, that's what the 
breeder said"  Me, still can't keep mouth shut "What breeder would that 
be?"....Female slave "Well he is not really a purabred"  Me, "um well he is 
not really a Beagle, really he is a Basset"  Female slave "Impossible, he 
won't get that big...pointing at a very nicely padded Hushymouse"  Me 
"Ummmmm yeah well, ummmm yeah he will probably get pretty big,,,,"buppie 
looks about the same size as Heftymouse at his age.
Nice vet arrives and starts to crack up....visiblly amused he takes a look 
at the buppie, and begins to laugh...Couple goes into exam room.  I settle 
the bill with the vet...Who is now really giggling "Well he could maybe have 
some Beagle in there....but ahh...well ahhh...I go with Basset....look at 
those ears...." I left the address to the Drool in case the new slaves 
needed some advise...and my phone number if ahhh, well if anything went 
wrong.....
On a serious note I am considering calling the "Breeder..NOT" and enquiring 
about Beagles for sale...what a crock of puppie pooo.
Laughed all the way home.....Beagle, yeah right.... Bagel maybe....but 
Basset, I am betting full Basset.

Kris (Yeah...sure Beagle)
Hushy (I like the Buppie, he looks like me Mom...why dey say he a Beagle)
