Instead of providing you with a brilliant and thoughtful analysis regarding the recent events in Egypt as well as providing insights into the far-reaching implications this may have upon the stability of the Middle East, described in a manner that has never been made in such detail or with such care, and based entirely upon my extensive experience as a former roofer (a roofer who worked exclusively in cedar shingles, I might add, “cedar” as in the “Cedar Revolution” which just so happened to have occurred in Lebanon which is kind of close to Egypt, so suck it, Foreign Affairs, I got this shit, okay? Back off.)… so, anyway, instead of that wordy-talky stuff, here is seven minutes of a basset puppy barking like an idiot and playing with a red ball.
Remember, people in Egypt can’t even see this because their intertubes have been tied or something.

Your thoughts on the Egypt matter would still be more insightful than 99.9995% of the right-wing blogosphere. So there’s that.
Are those Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet? I played this and my dog Candy went crazy trying to find her ball. She heard the barking and it must mean baaaallllll cause she is searching right now for hers. Thank you for the bassett fix…..maybe next time.
I’m just one minute in, and so far…
+ Who knew bassets could move under their own power…
+ With that barking, maybe he’ll get invited to one of the Sunday Blatherfests, it’d certainly beat listening to John McAngry.
“So, Mr. Ball, we meet again. Now who is the hunter and who is the hunted? We are not so different, you and I, eh?”
YAY!!!! VIDEO!!!! Now all I need is a large gin & tonic and life will be good.
OMG Wembley is too funny!!!! Thanks, TBogg. I needed that.
Bassets are so clever and so silly. I love how he pulls the blanket out from under the ball and makes the ball “a player” in his games.
Love the uproar Fenway’s entrance caused. I can only imagine what those two get up to when you’re not home.
By the way, it’s even better full-sizing the youtube screen. Wembley is very glossy!
7 minutes with a lot of talk and very little action.
A veritable “Waiting for Dogot”.
Two paws up!
Two thousand miles away, Maggie the dachshund was ready to join the fun. Send the bassets by and we’ll make a play date.
American exceptionialism! U S A U S A!!
I’m impressed that you guys dare to have white covers with that crowd in the house.
In Wembley’s defense — it was a very tricksy ball.
Played this video and my Boxer went crazy trying to find the source of the barking and the clicking toenails. I think Bassets must be similar to nature’s Platypus. So many different parts merging as one.
Do you have to replace the mattress pad every laundry day, or was this just a special performance on this one day only? I thought we were about to see The Shredding of The Bedding While the Linens Are In the Wash.
Thanks for the beautiful boys video. It’s a nice treat.
A red ball? Clearly, this is a Commie Basset.
/Red State
I watched the full 7 minutes 11 seconds. That boy has quite enormous, swinging genitalia.
Suck on that, al-Jazeera, you and your fancy-ass “live coverage from Cairo by people who actually know what they’re talking about.”
I’m sitting here waiting for “Wembley II: Return of Red Ball” — I hear it’s in 3D and filmed entirely on location in Hawaii with no special effects or stunt doubles…
Remember, people in Egypt can’t even see this because their intertubes have been tied or something.
Man, I was kinda indifferent before, but that’s a goddamn humanitarian crisis, right there. Send in the troops, Mr. President! America must be on the front lines in the defense of bassets!
Puppppeeeehhhhh! On a Sundayyyyyy!
Yay!
Now to watch the video.
thank you!
They must love to see you walk in the door at Bed Bath and Beyond.
This may be the first time I’ve seen the guys doing something not sleep- or semi-sleep-related. Adorable.
I love the fact that he prefers the bed to chase the ball around. Whenever the ball rolls off the bed, he grabs it and climbs back up. (like the stepstool at the foot of the bed for him…)
And a special appearance by Fenway! Sweet.
Oh, and it’s a mighty big puppy that seems to stretch the whole width of the bed.
Thanks again for this special edition.
Great googly-moogly! He must get rug burns walking around the house!
How did you train them to ignore the cameraman and just go about their lives? Regarding Fenway’s cameo, every dog I know would walk into the room and immediately come ask for skritches.
Just watched the video, i don’t know why. Two months of therapy down the drain. Didn’t recogize the bedroom at first. You must have taken all the puppypads down that i taped up on the walls and furniture and everywhere else for that matter. That’s right, show your minnions the pure white bedding. Make me look like a liar. It’s all a conspiracy against me by the long-eared ones. Oh crap! The flashbacks are starting again! Gotta go.
I thought only MOTUs had such big swinging dicks.
BTW, when’s he getting “fixed,” oh responsible dog owner?
Between the barking and toenails, your neighbors must love you.
Have you sent a copy of this to Tait’s Bassets? I’m sure they’ll want to embed a link in their advertising page.
Make yourself some popcorn and a martini — you can pretend it’s a horror movie that’s you are NOT starring in.
U came THAT close to having that nice soft pillow inexplicably EXPLODE all over the room.
This is how we play:
I move you, I bark at you.
You are still my bitch.
I watched every second, grinning like an idiot throughout, and tried to figure out if Wembley was saying to Fenway, “Come play with me!” or “MY bed, MY bed!”
Great cinematography, btw — don’t know how you managed not to laugh and jiggle the camera.
I am very interested in Wembley’s insights and would like to subscribe to his newsletter.
In the future, sir, I would ask that you use black tape to obscure the following:
- Gratuitous dog anus
- Large dangling dog balls
- Gigantic dog unit
At least you kept those horrible sconces out of frame. For that I thank you.
Pish-posh…Cedar? Nah. Wembley is NOT as dumb as he acts. He’s trying to tell you to look at the cover, fool. Egyptian cotton. It’s Milo Minderbinder time! Gotta figure out how to profit from this mess.
Most obliging of you to put a ramp up for the boys.
To quote my 12 year old son, “Nice balls, Wembley.”
Looks like the clever snark factor runs in the family. LOL and all that. At least you survived, and I’m sure the flashbacks will fade away soon!
Poor fbogg – all that therapy “down the drain.”
Don’t worry, man, we know your bro just bought brand-new linens to show us credulous bassettfans.
We feel your pain.
What you are asking for is a modesty patch.
