Flat Basset on a Walk :(

Annie714 · 06-29-2011, 02:29 PM

We went on a walk this morning, our usual route to the beach. Stopped at the pier for treats and water for Annie and then continued on. But I went a different route on our way home...this was my mistake. It was a much longer route

She made it about 4.5 miles and then...flat basset LOL. I gave her more water...treats....she went a few more feet...flat basset. At one point some ladies walked by and said "What a good doggie!" Ummmm...yeah she is, but we still have at least another mile to home

I ended up calling for someone to come pick us up. Here's a few pictures...more on the impending blog post, including the first Basset we have met in a looooong time

PS...Annie will be sleeping until further notice LOL.

What is this "flat basset" phenomena you speak of? Never heard of it.

Yikes what woosey basset you'al have become. Mine would go on 10 mile "Volksmarches" without prior conditioning and not a flat basset ever. Backpacking up to 18 mile a day but toughy would refuse to carry a pack Basset are suppose to be able to hunt all day.

a very bad presedent has been set. pretty soon Annie will be demanding Limo service to and from the beach. It is never a good idea to be to accomidating to flat basset as it means it is only going to happen more often.

Ha, you guys are too funny - thanks for the laugh - its much needed.

I do believe Annie has a sly look in her eye in the first picture.

Limo service, then a pool boy... when does it stop???

This weekend we were up at Mt. St. Helens Visitor Center & I was hanging with PB in the parking lot. A car drove by, stopped, rolled down their windows & while laughing hysterically said, "That's the cutest speed bump we've ever seen!"
