Which is which?

I took Angus the Indeterminite breed dog to the groomer today. He’s clean, but very, very unhappy.

The boys look very good, as always. I hope you’re sending these shots to doggie modeling agencies.

I read somewhre that the Miniature Doberman is NOT related to the standard
but is a cross between a Dachshund and an Italian Greyhound (‘course the questions is H O W? LOL). Given the size of the boys’ feet…anybody know the background of breeding for Bassies?

I know it’s been said before, many times, many ways, but…

LOOK at those frigging TOOTSIES!

And if my little bro was using my ankles as a needlesharppuppytooth-shedding post, I’d look put-upon too. Anyway this is an ace antidote to that Billy Graham fils item. Like the Man said about animals:

They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of
owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of
years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

Fine doggies! And those Mexican tiles in the background remind me of how revered Basset Hounds were in the new world pre-columbian era. Archeologists had for years been puzzled by the absence of Basset Hound skeletal remains in royal burial chambers in central and south America. It had been a well established practice that when a king died, his wife, concubines, and favorite pets would have been put to death and buried with the king. Knowing the love that these ancient civilizations had for Basset Hounds, researchers were at a loss to explain why Basset’s had been left out of the carnage.

The answer turned up not long ago in a dig in Belize; it was a fragment of a tablet of glyphs that represented what would now be described as the legal ‘will and testement’ of an ancient Mayan ruler. Loosely translated, the tablet said “…and don’t you DARE kill my fucking Basset!”

True story.

I think Fenway is getting his body pushed back to the wall by supersize baybee Wembley, thus the look.

Seems to me, tbogg, that Fenway’s pissed ’cause Wembly scarfed all the *heroin*. I mean, look at his eyes.

Obviously.

Also.

Took me a couple of seconds to process that Frankenstein-IslandofDrMoreau-StuartGordonReanimator picture. Wheww.

How do you get them to pose like that?

Aaaaaah, puppeh fix.

Sigh. I needed that.

Thanks.

Personally, that top pic says to me – “the young-un has done something, and the older one knows what it is, but is expecting to get blamed for it when the human finds out about it.”

Such awesome BOWEEEEZZ!!

I pine for the blissful ignorance of the “lower” life forms. Because, at this moment, as a Coloradan, and a Bronco fan, I am filled with envy for their obvious, complete, lack of TEBOW OVERFUCKINGLOAD! If I have to hear Jebusoid’s boy say “with all my heart!” one more fucking time, I not only will vomit my complete intestinal contents forthwith people… but absolute human bodily prolapse is a distinct and Tarantino-esque possibility! Now, no shit kids, and please understand, I really, honestly hope he throws, like, 19 Bizillion TDS for the orange and blue, and they have to rename the fucking Superbowl after his Jesus-o-Godly ass, (because team first, and me lovey me some Bronco poop and all that shit)…… But fuck me runnin’!!!… Will he really have to be such a cosmic dweeb-fart-o-saurous 24-7 to get the job done?

Bassets forever y’all. Peace.

I think you assembled Wembley with Great Dane feet by mistake. They sent the wrong parts in the box.

Maybe the right parts (puppy-size feetsies) were lost in a snowdrift when Mrs TB picked Wembley up, and they just threw in the nearest ones?

Wembley is all Prince Haberdasher/Tommy Bahama in pic 1 and Dennis the Freakin’ Menace in pic 2.

You can’t say he isn’t versatile.

I like how Fenway appears to be carefully considering how he might remove his delicate foot from the Jaws That Take Life.

(These boys might be a tad Gay.)

Okay, this is the day that Fenway looks like the mature older fella, keeping it all together for the youngster. Now, that’s weird. Wasn’t it just yesterday that Fenway was up on the roof, acting like a complete idiot? Those were the days.

Don’t you love it when the doggies play/fight on the bed in a closed room and you walk in and the whole room stinks like doggie breath…

Ah, good times, indeed.

Wasn’t it just yesterday that Fenway was up on the roof, acting like a complete idiot? Those were the days.

This just cracked me up.

Now I know who Wembley reminds me of: Mick Jagger.

Rumour had it that Fenway was the photogenic one. But I gotta say, Wembley’s got that “come hither look” down pat at his tender age–teeth or no teeth.

Big boys taste the best–just ask Wembley. I love them both, with all of their freckles.

Oh geez. Wembley just slays me.

Good lookin’ dogs.

It may seem like the rest of the world is getting smaller, but in fact Wembley’s ears are getting bigger. Thanks, Einstein!

goodness, that is perfect

I think the most plausible explanation for Wembley’s feet is that he was after all born in a snowstorm, so God gave him built-in snowshoes for his protection.

Fenway’s looking put upon because he KNOWS his days as king are numbered. As an owner of five bassets in my life, I’ve seen that look before.

Wembley is one exceptionally handsome dog. Have you had others from Tait’s?

Awwwwww! The basset boys are the perfect bromide for the crazy political shit that has been happening lately. I think Fenway is pissed off at the paparazzi!

Fenway is thinking how nice the warm tiles feel on his sagging, I’m sorry, ever-more sagging nuts. He thinks his nuts are in the picture and he is proud but humble, and he doesn’t know “the puppy” is blocking the camera shot.
