[Dailydrool] WalkingUnderDogs = Bassets!

[Houndy2 at aol.com]

That was fun to read about Susan's Basset walking under Duke their  
Bloodhound. Amazing really. 
 
We have a half Basset/half Bloodhound here right now in our Rescue waiting  
for his "Forever Home" to come along. His name is "Lenny" with the Basset  
Personality(sometimes wayyyy smarter than you can believe with a real funny  sense 
of humor)  and the solid light soft golden color that  Bloodhounds sometimes 
have. He can really move out and in  the house  and yard he lopes out in front 
of the pack. We encourage him to Lope outside  tho...it can get pretty wild 
pretty fast with a house full of hounds moving  fast! 
 
Lenny let our  Basset Hound "Henry" catch up to him and will even TURN  so 
that Henry runs UNDER him. Lenny is able to stay ahead of the pack so easily  as 
he has 3/4 sized Bloodhound legs...and a real lazy like lope for Lenny  is a 
flat out RUN for the Basset Hounds. Sunday we watched him stay out in  front 
going around with the Bassets with our  little pack zooming  fast as can  be 
(for a Basset...and you know that can be pretty FAST too  lol considering the 
short legs and all that is). When the "crazies" mode  hit  yesterday our "Henry" 
was crazily zooming as "Lenny" stopped his  Lope and just  was standing  
waiting. Then Henry zooms beyond control  (on purpose?) and UNDER Lenny in his mad 
dash...circle back ears flying out  behind him. Spinning out of control with 
the back end circle out in a spin  out...actually a funny beautiful thing to 
see.  A sort of Bloodhound  &  RacecarBasset  5 to 10 minute Ballet.
 
We wished  we would have filmed it! Anybody ever see a  photo  even of that 
kinda thing? It would be a good photo shot to  catch wouldn't it? lol It is so 
absurdly funny somehow. Sorta like the  reality of a Basset on the trail of a 
bunny...chases the SCENT and not  by  sight  for the actual rabbit...not to  
chase by SIGHT ..just to follow  where it goes. Yesterday it was so much fun to 
see the Bassets play  with our "BIG DOG" in the rescue boy Lenny. "Crazies" 
short and  sweet~lasts a short time at full tilt. Worth the wait to see though 
to  see Bassets finding a whole lotta fun in their long legged furrends! 
 
When we go to "Meet Up's" here there always..ALWAYS  some Basset just  
walking UNDER some longer Legged (another dog or a people...lol Furrend. Pretty  
fun. At the park yesterday too it was fun to see the Boxer (for instance) jump  
up on the picnic table to get away from the speeding Basset Pack thinkin he 
(the  Boxer) was "safe" there up on the picnic table...and to see a couple of the 
 Bassets just JUMP UP there after him. No way was he safe from the chase fun. 
 Quite a surprise for the Boxer. Pretty fun for the determined Bassets!
