Pal’s Place
My bassett is hungry for more
Room on the couch he longs for
His pure heart is golden
Forever beholden
He nudges me onto the floor!

Until they ignore the idea I’m still sleeping. Then once I’m up they spend twelve hours in the bed I was comfy in.

This is lovely! My sister has two very special bassets. They are more family members than they are pets! I am going to share this with her. It will make her laugh out loud. ❤

Oh how I wish I could say yes! We have an angel basset. Our geriatric Fred was crazy affectionate and drooly sweet and fabulously easy-going, not to mention wildly healthy – till she suddenly wasn’t. Now I’m that obnoxious girl who stops to pet every basset hound in Boston, even if I’m late or it’s raining. I’m incorrigible. And I just discovered the WordPress ‘basset hound’ tag. My daily hound quota shall be filled! 😉

I’ll bet Fred was terrific! Bassett are so funny.and their ears are the best! I will have to search the tag too.
