Things have really slowed down on here...where is everybody? Who's missing from the old board? Where's Sadeyes, for one? Where are all the regular posters? We used to have more...
OK, let's liven things up!!! Ouestion:
When was the very FIRST time... (NO, not THAT!
) ...that you ever saw, a basset hound?
I've told this story before:
I was ten years old and living in Australia. Our neighbours had a young, destructive basset hound named Brutus. He tore our laundry off the line all the time, and even got into our luggage one day.
We were living by the sea, and his nose always led him down the cliffs, where he would get stuck. The neighbours would come and get my brother, who would climb down and get him.
As bad as he was, we fell in love with him. So when we came back to Canada, we just HAD to get a basset of our own. So we got a female, Hence the name LADY Brutus. I grew uo with her, she'll always hold a very special place in my heart. And I just couldn't imagine having any other dog, but a basset!
