Bassets dont need special beds -----My motorhome caught fire in Death Vally on the way to the BHCA Nationals in San Diego--had to turn 5 bassets loose on the desert till help arrived -- ended up driving back cross-country with 5 bassets and the contents of the motorhome, in a Chevy Lumina mini-van --- stopped at a Best Western motel, parked around the corner, walked in, asked if they had a problem with pets. They said no, so 5 bassets slept with me on the king size bed. Should have seen the face in the morning when I opened the door and 5 bassets on lead walked out the door.
