First off, and most importantly, today is the thirteenth anniversary of the passing of Cooder, our very first basset (seen below in an outtake from a Chevrolet catalog photo shoot with the L&T Casey)
And here is the link to the 50 Pictures Of Bassets Running that everyone has been sending me.
And here are some running bassets of my own.
The current cast & crew will be back next week.

COODER!
TBogg, u haz been so lucky in ur friends….
whatta cutie!
OMG! GigantasaurusBasset is using TBogg as a chew toy in that last pic! Run for your lives!
Wow, what a plethora of handsome bassett boys tonight.
So sorry St. Patrick’s Day has been ruined for you. Cooder was a good-lookin’ bassett boy, too. Lovely photos.
Thanks for St. Paddy and Holy Bassetts Day pix to take our minds off world disasters for a few.
Many of those Running Bassets appear to be about to achieve takeoff speed, what with the deployment of the ears and all.
Wow looking over the flying 50 I didn’t realize they had so many parts on the outside of their bodies.
Whew.
Those are some seriously wild ears and crazed eyes. If I hadn’t seen the video evidence I’d've guessed Casa TBogg favors models (and maybe a saint ro two) over actors.
guilty dog is guilty
Those last two are two of my VERY favourite shots, ever ever ever. Fenway and Wembley have a ways to go before they will equal Teh Ham those two boys we miss so very very much got up to.
Beckham’s expression in that second one… Hilarious.
The L&T Casey is very lucky to have grown up with basset hounds. I hope one day she has a few of her own.
For a second there I thought Cooder was Satchmo. They look a lot alike somehow. Cooder looks noble, protective, and kind.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
A little known fact is that a Basset at normal running speed pulls as many Gs as an astronaut during the height of reentry.
Those photos could be used as NASA training shots.
Oh, my. I finally looked at the 50 Bassetts Running….and to think I thought Wembly was badly put together….some of those guys must have come from the fourth-tier bassett-making factory.
This isn’t new, but worth it because the title sells it, then the video sells it some more: “basset hound dressed as sherlock holmes running in slow motion”
How do you make me feel nostalgic for doggies I never actually met?
One of the great injustices in this world, good buddies go so quick but the assholes hang around forever.
My dogs are most assuredly responsible for whatever shred of sanity remains in me after decades of assaults on the definition of reality by the Rethuglican asshats.

Enjoy.
Aw. Cooder and company are simply lovely.
Such beautiful pups–thank you for sharing.
A stampede of dogs
Brings smiles to us all this day,
Including Casey.
a bouquet for basset-heads ! – thanks so much TBogg
