Those eyes! Warm enough to melt the hardest heart. They have me in a fucking puddle.

Thank you for all the sharing. I really mean it. Makes my Thurs night/Fri mornings.

Ah, you and Caravaggio.

Shadows and light

Or “Good and Evil”? Well, maybe “Good and Surly”…

Seriously, Fenway looks positively beatific, while Wembley is, clearly, NOT amused…

Wow, they really are channeling Satchmo and Beckham. It’s downright spooky.

I’m sure this was not your intention, but thanks to these two pictures I have learned that a monochromatic eye shadow scheme will definitely help with that middle age lid droop.

The Soulful and The Surly.

Classic Basset Beauty!

i still think they grafted on wembley’s feet from some prehistoric animal

also, i think your next basset should be named snarkie. just sayin’.

Fenway is like a young Lana Turner while Wembley is like a young…ahem…well let’s just say, BECKHAM!

Though to be fair, he has big shoes to fill despite his paw size. (Had to say that because you never know, Becks might be on the Internet in Heaven.)

TBogg, your pix-taking skill, your boys, and your commenters are all the best. Another winner of a Thursday night bassett blogging. Beauties, both.

How do you deal with those big, intense stares all the time?

Pups you want to wrap your arms around…

Beautiful beastie shots – they brought the 1946 Notorious to mind.

Somehow, Fenway looks younger than Wembley in these pictures. An ironic Janus-faced Bassett duo, if you ask me. They are multi-faceted boys to be sure. Yet undeniably cute as can be. Thank you for posting.

Just want to add, it seems Wembley has a signature move.

He tends to place one paw on its side. Not sure what this signifies but it’s really cute.

wembley’s thinking ‘how many times a day is this guy gonna be flashing that fucking camera in my face’ …

i have viewed that video of him tossing that chewy a half dozen times. it cracks me up that he takes over the friggin bed.

those dogs are so full of personality. they are very lucky poochies.

Ah, the cinematography trick from Dr. Zhivago, highlighting the eye region with a rectangle of light.

Fenway and Wembley are both prettier than Lara and Zhivago.

Wonderful to open up to these beautiful guys this morning. They weren’t here last night when I went to bed, where I read in a Peter Lovesey novel about why the police don’t use bloodhounds anymore in the UK for tracking people (mostly German shepherds instead): they get tired out too quickly! Thought immediately of Wembley and Fenway and bassets. I love them all the more for preferring not to.

My thoughts exactly. I never would have dreamed that rough and tumble pup Fenway would become the saintly one.

“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful”.

Wonderful visage to view this morn. Much needed and much appreciated.

I’m very late to this particular party, but perhaps I’ll insert a placeholder that I can insert next week.

Who knew there was a dog behind the nose and ears that you guys have been calling Wembley/

Fenway looks so beseeching.

Wembley looks…menacing. Sort of curious as to whether he has Beckham’s destructive tendencies, thinking of a long ago post in which you itemized items that had been destroyed and ended something along the lines of “selling him off by the pound”….

Look upon our faces.
We are channeling our Zen,
the yin and the yang.
