How heavy was your basset when you stopped carrying him?
When i first got Worm at 22 lbs, and hadn't carried around anything that heavy for awhile, i got a backache and armache the first coupla weeks. then i got used to it and not sore anymore.
but now he is almost 37 lbs! i don't know how much longer i can keep carrying him. does anyone still carry their basset when they weigh 40 lbs and above? i try to carry him as little as possible. tho the way the bathtub is, i have to carry him to put him in it. occasionally i give him a lift from the bed to the floor. but i'm starting to get backaches again from that...
wonder if anyone has ever hurt their back or the bassets from carrying such a heavy load
