Nugget is a very vocal basset...which is usually fine...she talks to me quite frequently and I generally understand what she wants. The only time she absolutely annoys me with her barking is when she decides she wants to talk to the cat. The poor cat usually stays outside but comes in frequently to nap or eat and Nugget gets these spells where she barks right in his face...loudly! :blink: He puts up with it for awhile or sometimes slaps if Nuggie gets too close. She's wagging her tail the whole time so my impression is she's trying to get him to play. Now bear in mind she doesn't lack for attention and someone to play with her! Any suggestions on how I can get her to calm down on the barking when the cat is indoors?? I hate to "punish" the cat by putting him back outside when Nugget starts barking but oftentimes, that ends up being the solution. Another thought is this might be her way of getting me to put the cat out...she's quite jealous of him if he gets in my lap,etc. <_<
On another note...I really enjoy reading this board! I look forward to seeing the pictures and hearing about everybody's bassets !! It's a nice fun spot in my day!
