[Dailydrool] Lazy hounds

[Swartz]

Cathy, the boys and I are so sorry that Nate has mad his journey to the bridge. Take heart that he is no longer with any illness and is once again a young and healthy hound.  May he live forever in the magic of your memories. 

Happy Gotcha Day to Harley!  Iknow that your momma and dadslave will make your day just as special as you are.


Lois, I hear the same thing about my boys. "those are some active hounds, I thought bassets were lazy?"  Unfortunetly I think that between this misconception and the fact that bassets are independent thinkers, and stubborn, I'll do it if I want to attitudes is why so many are given up. People see them as puppies and  only think of just how cute they are and are not prepared to deal with 1. the responsibilities of owning an animal in general, and 2. the high energy, and free thinking of this breed. I think that my husband is right; that people should have to go through a class on what it takes to be a responsible pet owner in order to be able to have a pet.  Crazy thing is that my best friend that works in the school system thinks the same thing about people having children. She hers from parents all the time, "if I knew that having kids was this much work I probably wouldn't have had them"  The world has lost a valuable asset...Ladies and Gentlemen Common Sense has not only left the building but has left the world!"
