[Dailydrool] Stupid Bassets

[Dale Rutz]

Mine, not yours.  I'm sure yours are brilliant but mine are about to drive me 
straight to the funny farm!!!

Yesterday Snoopy decided that Gracie was offensive.  She was hiding from him 
around corners and behind doors ..... ducking ...... don't know what happened 
between them but I was in the office working around 3PM.  Gracie was laying on 
the floor outside the office door.  Snoopy got up and walked past her into 
Natalie's room, and then walked back out of Natalie's room, snarled once, and it 
was game on.  He laid into her and they were rolling over and over and LuLu 
jumped up and ran in there and Greg and I came running with squirt bottles and 
by then he had a hold of her ear up by the base of it and he dragged her across 
the rug into Natalies room almost to her bed by that poor ear before we could 
get him off of her, both of us spraying squirt bottles in his face and ........

She was fine.  Not a mark, not a scrape, not a scratch, no blood, the ear didn't 
swell up anywhere, nothing.  We locked him in Natalies room and she was 
helicopter wagging and digging on all the attention.  Wanted to play.  I'm 
SERIOUS!!!!!

So we let him out of Natalies room and the two of them acted like nothing ever 
happened.  WHAT????  It was world war 3 complete with reinforcements 10 minutes 
ago..... what the heck???  I took them for a walk after dinner together, Gracie 
and Snoopy, and they were shoulder to shoulder bumping along.  After dinner all 
3 dogs curled up on the couch and watched a movie with Greg and I and at bed 
time .... get this .....

I wanted to get everyone settled.  I was worried.  LuLu was asleep on the couch 
and wouldn't wake up.  Gracie followed us and Snoopy did too and they both 
wanted to be at the foot of the bed so I grabbed Gracie and pulled her up on my 
pillow while Snoopy settled at my feet and as soon as I turned out the light she 
jumped up and ran down to the foot of the bed and spooned with Snoopy and they 
slept like that all night.

What is up with these (and I use the term lightly) dogs????  BASSETS ARE GOING 
TO BE THE DEATH OF ME YET!!!!

More later from the utterly clueless momPerson

oh .... and there's more ..... when all this happened I got so upset I wrote a 
drooler for advise and she replied "well, if it REALLY bothers y'all you could 
hire an animal behavioralist to explain their stuff to you.  You don't need a 
trainer"   I have to say it, labs never ever did anything like this!!!!!
