Yeah, me too. However, the manly Mr. Biscuitbarrel is allergic to cats and not fond of pets, and I knew what I was getting into before I married him. He does have a lovely, glossy, front-and-back pelt, but tends to be a bit aggressive in the middle-of-the-night Blanket Tug O’ War conducted in our full-size marital bed.

When our sons were younger, their friends would ask, “Why do your parents have such a small bed?” And our kids would glare at us, like we’d reeeeally put them on the spot.

It’s winter in Massachusetts, and both Newfs have taken up residence in the big bed. Thankfully. mmm, warm pups.

The new throw pillows seem pretty effective at cocking the ear, but i’m sure you and MrsT have discovered that already.

Fantastic pix. PS: There is no such thing as “overly cautious” when it comes to low-slung dogs’ backs. They’re very prone to disc issues and other injuries. Ask you vet how much jumping/climbing they should be doing; I’m guessing he or she will say little or none.

Catching up on Basset Mayhem.

It’s too bad they don’t make bed-side elevators for bassets, with cushions, a milkbone service and a door man. Beckham would approve I’m sure.

Fenway is becoming quite the handsome young prince.

I just received a copy of “Animal Fare” from the San Diego Humane Society and wondered why. I scratched my ass for a while while checking it out (no easy feat), and I came across donations made in pets’ names. Damn if there wasn’t a certain Satchmo listed. I’d forgotten the donation, definitely did not forget Satchmo, though I swear I don’t know that guy they listed.

Now they’ll be hitting me up for money every twenty minutes. Thanks, TBogg…

As bassets usually possess quite the basso profundo, I can quite easily imagine Fenway as a sort of canine Barry White…The Basset of Love…

The bed pictures are nice and all, but you didn’t give us a Fenway Destruction Report for the week, and the week is not complete without that.

That’s quite the come hither look on Fenway…ooh, baby!
