[Dailydrool] Basset weight

[Rebecca Stanton]

Morse is now down to just over 70 lbs but he is always going to be very low 
slung and very floppy.  I was looking at some of the bassets on Desiree Acres 
website, and he is very similar to one of them - he has a flap of skin that 
hangs very low down under his tummy (why do bassets have this? I am not sure.  I 
love it though!) and people still call him fat, and I get comments like 'he 
needs more exercise'.  (some of the people who are so forthcoming aren't exactly 
svelte themselves, and I am sorely tempted to retort at times.) We usually walk 
a few miles a day.  He saw the vet only 2 weeks ago and I asked him for his 
views on Morse's weight - he said no, not at all fat, he is just big.
