You are a lucky man, Sir.
All the best to you and yours.
And Cthulhu help me through this next month.

What beautiful pups. I read TNBB every week and love it! Thank you for sharing!

This sounds like the PERFECT T’day: dogs poop where you don’t have to clean it up; dogs tear up foreign abode, exhausting themselves in the process. Your sole duty is to haul them into bed.

Mission accomplished?

Oh awesome, two basset posts today.

Is anyone surprised Beckham is a “top” and not a “bottom”?

Fenway is looking, as usual, both magisterial and up to no good. And slightly vacant.

He’s definitely the supermodel of bassets.

Speaking of characters, enjoy this video of Palin being spoofed by Canada’s national treasure, Mary Walsh.

Walsh, in the guise of Marg Delahunty, caught up or rather tried to catch up with Palin during a book signing event. She met with about as much success as one could expect when bursting upon a former American vice presidential candidate with a camera in tow. Which is to say, she was thrown out of the event, but Delahunty never one to give up, hung about outside the exit and managed to capture a quick sound bite from Palin.

Fenway – the Derek Zoolander of Bassets? Discuss.

From whence cometh those “autumn leaves” in Southern California?

Aww, basset rasslin’.

Those Canucks have the best satirists in the biz on camera these days, or maybe I just really like Canadian humor, but Marg got the best comment yet out of Caribou Barbie. Now if only most Americans actually knew a few Canadians and could discuss thier health care system with them…

There is nothing to discuss. You are ABZOOLUTLEY RIGHT. Fenway IS Zoolander.

I suggest we call the newest member of the Bogg household, Fenlander from now on. It will be our inside joke. Like “Godlstein.”

Yes, my home and native land has produced some of the best comedians, although we could use a Jon Stewart up here right now as we are plagued with wingnuts.

This is off topic but too hilarious not to share. At least it’s an animal story.

Farting pig sparks gas emergency

A flatulent pig sparked a gas emergency in southern Australia on Thursday when a farmer mistook its odours for a leaking pipe, officials said.

Fifteen firefighters and two trucks were called to a property at Axedale in central Victoria state after reports of a gas leak, the Country Fire Service said.

“When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from,” said fire Capt. Peter Harkins, adding they could also hear it.

Man, I’d give anything to have filmed that.

Well glory gee to beezus – that’s a fine pair of rasselhounds you’ve got. It must have taken you hours to count your many blessings Mr. TBogg, what with your naughty dogs, lovely angel with dirty feet and the lovely and talented Casey. Oh how I love and am thankfull for TNBB and the musings of your clever little mind.

such good puppies…

Phews at eleven.
