Please don't go

duder · 08-16-2011, 05:11 PM

Anyone else's bassets try to get you to stay at home by assuming the "I'm so depressed that you are leaving me" stance?

Every morning as I get ready to leave the house, the boys go to the same spot and look at me like this:

Makes it very tough to walk out that door.

How Cute!!!

I am lucky as I work from home and am able to babysit my two beasties during the day.

Yes, what a great pic and thread!!

bassets are just so wonderful and funny like that. and really, really cute.
wiener dogs are a little like that, too, i have a pic of my old one next to my suitcase with the 'please don't go' look, too, but they are like that much less of the time.

bassets are the best! but yeah, very hard to leave them.

Agreed! That's some fantastic form...both of them. I wouldn't be able to leave that, if it were me.

yup, that's some heartwrenching poses there. I almost cried, hard, one day when I had to leave work and Bowser was still a puppy...and was in a pen, and started to cry, after giving me this horrible look. I actually called in late and spent a little bit of time playing and making him tired so he would sleep for the couple hours i would be gone! After that i changed the set up so daisy could be with him all the time. don't know why i had it any different at first! lol

Yes, I get that too. When I'm getting ready for work, he goes right in his crate and gives me "the look". When I close the door on it, he gives a big sigh. "It's ok, mom go ahead and leave me (big sigh), I'll be fine in here all by myself. You just go on now (big sigh)."

I think they get lessons on laying on guilt.

Aww!! Exactly one of the reasons I hate that school starts next week for my daughter. Daisy has had her fair share of free run of the house this summer. She has grown accustomed to her crate if we leave home for a few hours, but nothing close to a 6-7 hr day. Luckily I work part time, so it won't be every day. But I still feel guilty. Guess I better get those treat-filled Kongs frozen & ready!

That was one of the major contributing factors to me quitting my job in the corporate world!!! And although the three of us spend the entire day together, I still get it when I have to go to the shop... At least the welcome home makes up for it - until the next time... :-) Only a Basset can make a person feel this loved.
