Not a puppy no more.

But still very handsome.

Glad to know you survived the shakin’

The Coast remains the most.

Right until we all wash into the Pacific.

Well, right now I am under torrential downpours, gusty winds, hail, and a tornado watch. Ha!

Has Wembley been hitting the sauce? His eyes look a little… pink-ish.

Ah, nothing interrupts the Sunday night puppeh blogging, not even a 6.9 temblor.

Glad to see you came through unscathed. So Wembley is not going to be the excitable one, eh? Has Fenway settled down? Did he bark before</em> the quake, to warn you?

So where’s the pics of Fenway? I thought you would have thought it important enough to get pics of Fenway barking and all during the earthquake.

Fine head of a dog! On the opposite coast last week, on the solid but drenched streets of Manhattan, I spied a dog-walker with five dogs, two of them bassets (so of course I didn’t notice what the other three might be — bigger, though). I thought of Fenway and Wembley immediately, of course. As these two trotted along, I got to appreciate their long, LOW bodies, and then their fine bottoms, tails held high. (From the rear they reminded me of my English springer spaniel — well-knit hips driving a determined trot…). Which got me to thinking how I really only know F and W’s noble heads and amazing front paws. But the rears of bassets are quite handsome, too!

Hope your shaking is over and that all is well.

You know how they say animals can tell when a quake is coming? I think Wembley knew, but damned if he’d tell you.

Did one of your posters just ask for some doggy ass shots? I think you’re going to have to oblige, Mr. Bogg.

That would be different. Usually Tbogg regales us with freckled pecker shots when there’s a new pup about.

Pat Robertson hasn’t been seen or heard from, which is surprising considering he’s the authority on cause and effect. With any luck he was near the epicenter and his flat head fell and broke.

Seriously though, what’s up with all the earthquakes? We’re overdue here (BC) and it’s making me nervous.

Wembley just gets prettier with every passing day. Don’t put any mirrors near him or his good looks will go to his head. I’m glad to hear the earthquake didn’t phase him. We don’t want our little Prince traumatized.

Glad everything is ok at Chez Tbogg. Gotta say, the expression on Wembley’s face says “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful!” Which he is.

Big headed and beautiful.

He may be oblivious, but he has an “I take no guff” ‘tude about him in this photo. Plus I love his ears.

He’s so shiny… Miss him terribly

See, it’s that solid, nothing-ever-happens-here-in-State-College-PA rootedness that makes Wembley the cool cat that he is during an earthquake!

hindquarters are so 06 doncha know

I would think bassets would be excellent Earthquake Warning Animals, what with those gigantic feet and the lowrider physique. They should be able to detect tremors anywhere on the planet.

An earthquake in Southern CA! Someone is trying to open the hellmouth again! Call Buffy!

It’s like the world’s most luxurious fur cape, something donned for the opera – teh ears! teh ears!

I think we need a photographic Death Match between Fenway and Wembley, with Wembley challenging Fenway’s title of Most Photogenic Basset Evah. Because that head shot? Is portfolio material.

Wembley is a stunning boy. Glad he wasn’t fazed by the quake. Also glad everything is fine in the House of Boggs. Except the low rations of dark chocolate. That is never good.
