Many years ago- 9ish I am sure, our sweet Eyson (atb) proved that bassets DO
have opposable thumbs.  They are retractable.

I came from getting groceries and set the grocery bag with canned cat food
by the front door.  I left it there unattended because I thought that being
canned (with the pop top lids) it was safe from bassets.  Wrong, wrong,
wrong.

I finished putting up fridge and cupboard food and went back for the cat
food.  OMG!  The cans were scattered everywhere and the smell in the room
was awful.  Eyson had pulled two cans out, some sort of fish medley by the
smell, and pushed the tops down to get at the food.  Both cans were licked
clean.  She had no cuts on her snout, lips or tongue.  Do this day I have no
real idea how she did it, just that she did.

They had buried him under our elm tree, they said — yet this wasn't totally
true. For he really lay buried in my heart.
