poor puppeh

Psst, Fenway, your dad’s kidding about the knackering. You’re really going to the vet to get tutored.

*waves both arms frantically* can I be one of the girls at the reception desk? Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase?

What I wouldn’t give to park myself between those couch furtatoes and get my snooze on with them. So darn cute.

“wang feng shui” ahaha. Just caught that.

Wang feng shui? I thought that was called “wang chung”.

Oh, and Volkswagen (iirc) has a new ad where a dog wearing the Cone of Shame is sticking his head out the window, so the owner does a retrofit on it to make it more aerodynamic. The dog doesn’t look any happier, thoug…SQUIRREL!

Oh, yeah. We dig Dug around these parts…

After watching my newest basset adoptee destroy the last plastic cone I had (bassets are very special: they have a big neck but short legs which is not a good combo when the Large cones drag on the floor and get caught on carpets/door frames etc….). So I bought one of those new-fangled inflatable collars and it worked wonders. I don’t have to worry about dogs tripping themselves up on the stairs anymore. They are in the medical supply section at Petsmart or other online stores:)

In honour of Fenway’s change of life, a few basset videos

Duet with Basset (the basset’s entrance 35 seconds in is the best bit.)

Frank’s “doorbell”

Frank and the Fridge

Ultimate Dog Tease (not a basset. No basset would put up with this for a second.)

It’s all fun and games until someone gets their balls cut off.

Hope all the decorative bits remain for photoshopping, because I know you probably do. Congressmen photoshop, why not bassets?

These are great. We tried one for our Weimaraner when he had the same experience that Fenway is having. He tolerated it very well. He HATES the cones.

HE KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!

Lucy, the Cone of Shame, and stairs.

I guess poor ol’ Fenway is out of his “tutoring” session by now, hopefully out of the recovery room…wait..Pacific time/Central time..umm, lessee, it must be 11:15 PDT..yeah, if like most vets, they do surgery, er, tutoring, in the early am, Fenway should be recovered and ready to put on his collar and come home.

Love all the videos…hadn’t seen the basset accompanying his young mistress playing the piano before, or Lucy on the stairs. Lucy’s vid wouldn’t play for me, but I’ll be back.
I conquered the Blue Screen of Death this morning, so not complaining.

So, when’s Wembley’s turn? Me, I’d have set up a nanny/bassett-cam to watch him ordering cable…, but that’s just me.

I will be forever indebted to you for introducing me to Frank the Tank

I wuv him

Ditto on Frank. Yet another chunky basset. The dog tease video is really good, too.

Can we get an update on Fenway????

Isn’t he something? Don’t remember who linked to him some months ago, but it was the doorbell vid, which I watched while truly falling on the floor giggling. Then watched half a dozen more before I could stop. Frank the Tank…a name as perfect as Wembley, in its own way.

I couldn’t help but think, “everybody have fun to Wang Chung tonight.”
Poor, poor Fenway, no longer capable of dressing either left OR right.
He’s gonna need some serious scritches, but NOT on his stitches!

2nd attempt:
“everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight!”

I am arriving late to TNBB, but hope that Fenway is doing well and Wembley had fun on his getaway date at the vet’s.

Note Fenway’s stricken look–he’s looking into his future, and not liking what he sees.
