That first picture should be labelled: “HEY, we OWN this bed!”

Well, all I can say is Everyone Poops.

Also, is it my eyes or in the first picture does it look like Wembley’s paws are the same size if not perhaps a touch bigger than Fenway’s? Are basset puppy paws usually the same size as an adult basset’s paws, or is Wembley simply gifted in this manner?

Fenway is beautiful in the second picture and I like Zeus’s grin in the third.

What a pair! Are Fenway and Wembley telepathic? Because they both have the exact same expression.

I’m sure that Lulu and Zeus are kind, considerate, wonderful creatures. But after all these weeks of watching bassets, seeing them is like, “Who let the wolves into the house!?” (Zeus is obviously intent on serious mischief.)

I will not mention my Adventures in Beagle Poop. Hounds seem to be extraordinarily talented in this manner. It’s like the Poop Cirque du Soleil.

Our dog was so excited when my wife got home tonight from a 3 week trip that she peed in two different places.

Does that count?

Wembley is clearly in the emulating-his-elders stage (SYNCHRONIZED OUTSTRETCHED PAWS, LIDS LOW, EYES COOL, YO AND DUDE!) so I can see why you’re nervous about leaving the little one “home alone” with Mr. RoofsAlot.

You could always take Fenway to work, but then nothing would get done and chaos would ensue.

But then that might be a safer bet. You can never pull anything over on a basset and get away with it.

P.S. Just realized who Wembley reminds me of. Edward G. Robinson. Sure he was short, a real punk, but you just didn’t mess with him.

Wembley looks like he’s sticking out his paws letting his just painted nails dry.

To me it looks like a couple of “guys” who’ve come to discuss your late payment on that 29%-per-week-interest-rate loan they gave you.

Our dog was so excited when my wife got home tonight from a 3 week trip that she peed in two different places.

By “she” I assume you mean the dog and not your wife.

I loves me a dog with some pumpkin seeds for eyebrows. Our late, great Pepper the Wonder Hound was particularly gifted in this manner. They’re particularly good at looking pissed off, as Wembley ably demonstrates above.

As for Fenway – why haven’t you gotten that boy an agent yet? Talk about yer untapped revenue streams…

Turning your back was a mistake. And so is looking at anything other than the pup. You thought he’d wait on you? We thought you were experienced.

Expect the next phase to emphasize strategic placement over pile count and anticipating foot placement prior to olfactory detection. Go barefoot and protect your shoes.

long expensive toll calls to 1-900-HOTBICHONFRISES

insert Rick Santorum joke here, I guess. That was too easy.

I do know a nice little shiba inu up the coast from you. But only if the boys are into that Asian thing.

That first pick looks like the boyz are taking a guest star turn on disapprovingrabbits.com

I’ve been needing some TNBB tonight. Love the pix, as always … and those velvety Fenway ears, oooooh, I just want to wrap up in them.

After our dogs were trained they all pooped discreetly in a very private place like behind a tree, even when pups, except the yellow lab who just walks around dropping terds all over the place (outside, thank goodness).

Lulu and Zeus do look a little wild and would be almost scary compared to the bassets, except for Zeus’ goofy grin.

In that first photo they look like a coupla Republicans at the health care summit.

Fenway’s ears in the second one make me want to curl up with one of them next to my cheek while I suck my thumb.

Yes, Seasonal Affective Disorder HAS set in with a vengeance.

Our cats aren’t allowed in the bedroom due to various issues involving our need to breathe at night (allergies), but the room gets no air in the summer with the door closed. So we devised a system of two gates (one on top of the other) with a window screen thingie at the top, and that covers the whole door while letting some air in.

Fenway could probably take it out in a heartbeat, but I guess you could run a little electric fence around the thing.

Fenway looks heartbroken in the first pic, like you -Dad, traded him in for a new puppy. … and Wembly looks like he feels secure, and life is good in his new home.

If you had only scattered a few playing cards across the couch you would have yourself a real piece o’ art!

Well, you have poopie puppies, so what? Be grateful you have same ALTHOUGH I must say, you stil a girl doggie Bassie AND, I am first and foremost for………………..DOXIEe LOVE! Yes, I are a traitor…we have 2 dachshunds, who would , of course LOVE to Meet your guys……………………

1-900-HOTBICHONFRISES

Well, ever since I discovered that the soonerwife was less than truthful about the cost of the soonerbichonfrise ($400 instead of the $200 she originally told me) and I retired from the National Guard, I have to do something to pay the bills, you know.

I wanted an alaskan wolf/husky mix, being suitably masculine and all, but I was indisposed (cough Afghanistan cough) at the time.

anybody else addicted to this?

Wembley bears a striking resemblance to our dear departed Maui. He also had that fierce look. Of course he was the sweetest and wimpiest dog ever.

You and the Missus better get rested up real well because the proof is right there in digital that Wembley is plotting. Plotting while perfecting his ‘meh’ look. But plotting none the less. I don’t think I’d sleep at the same time. You should sleep in shifts and hide the duct tape and sharp pointy things of destruction.

“The puppy is here’ indeed.

Goodluck with the leaving him with Fenway thingy.

It’s all going to end up like a scene in Young Frankensteen. Horses neighing, the works.

I can just hear Fenway now during the Home Alone days.
“And you know what really ticks them off? I mean, more than a few poops? It’s…”
Ah boy, can’t wait for TNBB in a few weeks.

Awwww! Pics of the boys is always good for the soul. And, thanks for the extra pic of Lulu and Zeus. I love GSD. Your description of the antics of Fenway and Wembley is hilarious! Good thing they are so damn cute.

Somebody has TWO GERMAN SHEPHERDS?

I just hope they don’t have polish neighbors.

Hee, hee.

Grammar. Who needs it?

Is dog poo as bad as cat pee?

Our cats aren’t allowed in the bedroom…

When I was a kid my grandmother’s bedroom opened right off the living room, and the cats weren’t allowed in there: they were trained (yes, it’s possible) to keep out. Except, when we were all sitting and watching TV and they wanted us to get up and let them out, one or the other would walk three steps into the BR and sit, waiting for one of us to get up and chase them out: “Well, since you’re up, let me-ouuuut!”

Once when smacked for sleeping on the couch by Grandma (the cat didn’t hear her come in and was caught red-pawed) the cat retaliated by leaving a dump in the exact center of Grandma’s bed.

“the cat retaliated by leaving a dump in the exact center of Grandma’s bed.”

Proving, of course, that cats are the evil spawn of Satan.

Now, just curious, if the daughter comes home from college and she and the new dog don’t get along, it happens, who do you get rid of? The daughter (who, let’s face it, will be moving out soon anyway) or the dog who has finally found a secure home?

Electrified baby gate???!!!! I love it.

Actually, we got a wonderful gate from amazon and I like it because we can step over it and it looks nice. But my dog is not a jumper so it works for us. Maybe the large one would work for you.
