Wow, will there be a new denizen of the casa de tbogg soon?

No.

If it’s any consolation, cats do similar things (chasing tail in bathtub is noisy). I understand the one we had when I was young enjoyed playing with a croquet ball on a hardwood floor.

Come on, Tbogg. Just looking at 487-7′s face, I’m betting he can poop out Mrs. Tbogg’s underwear like shit through a goose. Wembley just needs a little comeuppance. That’ll put him on the straight & narrow.

The paws would certainly fit in with your family.

Wow! I wish I had a couple of grand to spare and a ticket to the Basset Hatchery. I’ve always wanted a dog named “487-7.”

THX-1138 was already taken….

Okay so I am here in lovely Waikiki this morning setting up my computer and the local network assigns me a password that I should “write down for future reference.” There being no embossed notepad in the desk drawer, I proceeded to search through my large travel tote bag for something to write on. And what to my wondering eyes should appear? No, not a minature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer….but a small ticket stub from my puddle jumber flight from State College to Wash/Dulles from the Great Wembley Rescue of 2010. Funny how that picture above DID NOT make me wish I was there instead of here…even though the weather sucked today and even though 487-7 is an absolute angel. I now know what Tait’s bassets are capable of. On another note, today the L&T Casey completed the last final of her undergraduate career here on the islands…a semester early I might add. Ceremony and celebration on Monday. Kids are way easier than bassets…..

Kids are way easier than bassets…..

Are you suuuuuurrrre? Finding that ticket stub, along with that adorable puppy photo, sure seems like an omen…..

Congrats to the L&T Casey. Semester early! Woo-hoo! I do hope her degree is in something useful, unlike, say art history or, sigh, English.
(spoken by a disillusioned long-ago liberal arts major)

And to Mr. TBogg – thank you, thank you for the puppeh pictures.

Sorry I whined so much earlier. It has been a very, very bad week, you know. (Then of course, I made dinner, watched teebee, and got distracted and arrived late!)
Ahhhhh, Thursday night bassett blogging. Luurvely.

Since I have Bassets, but no kids, I’ll take your word for it. Certainly Bassets are challenging.

I suggest your family give the long-suffering FBogg a trip to the L&T’s graduation, as compensation for his trauma at the boyz’ hands, excuse me, paws.

Omigawd! Psych on the teebee right now – just introduced — ta da! — Fenway the Bloodhound!

Wow. That’s becoming a popular dogg name, isn’t it?
Next, it’ll be Wembleys on-screen.

(Mayhap there are screenwriters lurking here? Or posting, for that matter)

Big congrats to the L&TCasey!
As for the 4am games, I think you can invent a scratch & sniff storybook for bassets…with ether on the last page. That ought to do the trick.
(Damn those dogs are gorgeous.)

487-7 looks like a real sweetie. Yes, do get him. Three’s the charm, I think they say. Or is that “crowd”. A crowd of bassets…what could possibly go wrong?

Wembley has such great expressions. Very BeckHAMish, if you will. While Fenway looks like he could be the son of Diana Princess of Wales.

Since Thursday belongs to the dawgs, it’s an appropriate time to share this video of “snow dogs” Trout and River tobogganing in Vermont.

Extra: Breakfast at Ginger’s- golden retriever dog eats with hands

LOL! But, you know he isn’t a baby anymore; he’s had his adult birthday.

(That’s why we are now deprived of Sunday night puppy blogging)

But the mental image you gave me was quite amusing.

4:30am = Quality Time with your Bassets.

You’ll treasure these moments when you’re old and gray.;>

I’m late but wanted to show you this YouTube.
Then your dogs would sleep all night, having played all day.

Please extend congratulations to the L&TC!

But you do understand that not ALL kids are easier than bassets, don’t you? You just got a super-good kid and some borderline bassets.

So, you’re saying that being in Waikiki for your only child’s graduation is somehow. . . better. . . than being snowbound in a motel room with a peeing puppy? It will take me some time to absorb this novel idea.
Blessings and all good things to the L & T. A happy life to her, and nachus to her proud parents.

I think a group (>2) of bassets is referred to as a “drool”

Awake at 4 am? Doggie downers. Works every time.

Beautiful pups! And, I think 487-7 would be the perfect addition to the Bogg household. Look at that face!

Congrats to the L&TC

While Fenway looks like he could be the son of Diana Princess of Wales.

In which case he would have his father’s ears.

Congrats to the L&T Casey indeed — and I hope she DID major in something useless like English or art history. You can always get the corporate credential stuff in postgrad, but there’s nowhere else except college to get the full mind-expanding value of subjects that don’t slot you right in to the dreary career tracks laid down by the Satanic minions of Human Capital Management. (Well, you can take extension courses in the copious spare time you have left after leveraging goal-oriented synergy to funnel customers into the company maw and trying to pay back your student loans, but it just isn’t the same). But in any case, acing college is a Good Thing and she deserves lots of kudos!

so when did you let Wembley watch Taxi Driver. He’s clearly doing his version of DeNiro “you lookin’ at me” I’m guessing the mirror jumping is important here also.

Better save your money TBogg, Fenway looks like he is about ready for a face lift to take care of those droopy lower eye lids.

Whut you got against grrrrls? 487-2 looks particularly sagacious.

Ooooooh, what a sweet face….
Must admit, if I were in a position to do so, she would be verrrry tempting.
Although, with what I’ve learned here about bassetts, perhaps that would be a sign my head should be examined…

but females would be totally different, don’t you think?

holy crap … have i been coming here that long. i remember when the l&t casey was in high school…
