Coming from someone with a 'wonky' Basset this may not be worth much but I reckon Morse's pace looks fine.<br><br>The stories about vet billsover the pond are scary. Our vet charges £25 for a consultation - which seems reasonable - and it seems to work out £5/£10 every time he injects something - which invariably, he finds a reason to do. I'm learning not to rush to vet at every little thing.<br><br>My bassets have turned me soft. Had to stop watching a programme on TV this week about how long it would take nature remove all traces of mankind if we all suddenly disappeared. They had clips of a dog locked indoors savaging for food and as soon as the narrator said, "the first animal casualities would be our pets" I burst into tears and thankfully Enci agreed to switch channels. How awful. Imagine. <br><br>Millie's pretty savvy but Alfie, I fear, wouldn't last long. I don't think I could even bring myself to put him in kennels. I don't think I knew guilt, not really, until I got a Basset but then I don't have two-leggers.
