OMG, six bassets. You must have a big house. My Basset (Abe) is so darn long and is always turning around and hitting himself in the butt with something. Then of course he barks at it for 10 minutes because he thinks whatever it was that he hit, actually hit him. hehe. We have a pretty small house though. We thought about getting him a friend because he loves other dogs, but don't think we could afford it! What with the shots, fixing, and then Abe has had a few minor issues which of course ends of costing well in the hundreds. So we decided to take him to a dog daycare once a week. Plus he has a few girlfriends in the neighborhood. He loves playing with other dogs more than anything. Anyway, welcome and can't wait to hear more stories about all your bassets, I'm sure it is a riot living with all of them...are there kids thrown in the mix too?!?!?!?!?!
