[Dailydrool] This and That

[Jessica Sutton]

I had to chime in on the thread about people mistaking my bassets for beagles.  Not too long ago I posted about Diva Houdini getting out of our yard and being called by the dog catcher, aka Animal Control, who asked if "I had a Beagle that was out of the yard".  Being frantic, I just said "She's a basset, but yes, that's my dog!"  Looking back, I should have said "you're animal control and you can't tell the difference between a beagle and a basset?"  Jeez!!!!

 

Secondly, we have a visitor this week, and bless his little heart, he is just making me realize all the reasons I love my bassets so much!  My mother and father in law were dog-sitting for their son, my brother in law and his new fiancée and had to go to Vegas for a conference, so guess who's next in line for dog sitting???  So, the poor thing, he's sweet as all get out, and I am trying very hard to make him feel at home and welcome and give him lots and lots of love and affection, but, well, it's just that his ears are too short, and his legs are way too long, and he's just way too energetic, and he actually listens when you tell him to do something, and he will go on a walk without dragging you to one single stinky thing, or flattening his whole body out and making you beg him like an idiot in the middle of the street and then send for reinforcement treats to get him back home...frankly, it's just odd, I tell ya!  But there may be hope for this fella yet...last night, I was lounging on the sofa with Ms. Diva Houdini when he walked up, looked at me and did this little whine thing as if to say "play with me and give me attention".  This is a classic Sophie move, and one she has been perfecting lately by adding a tug on my pants or my shirt sleeve to get my attention when whining won't work.  He hasn't done that part yet, but apparently, the whining thing is new.  I bet I know where he got it from!!  doG help my brother in law when he comes back home and gets to see how rotten his pup has become being in the house with the two mistresses of my domain!  BWAHHHAHHHHAHHHAAAAAA
