What an expression on your face dear Spud! How very sad you look, but then all Bassetts do have that look and I am sure they use it to their advantage in getting anything it is that they wish! I know it sure would work for me! You sound like quite a character! I can just picture those floppy ears blowing in the breeze as you watch the world go by from your seat in the car. Congratulations cutie patootie on your day of fame - our super duper Dog of the Day!
