Why wasn’t I invited to pizza night?

@bytebro Of course, one could make the argument that the human is the one who's a bit dim, leaving these pots out for Basset Hounds to return to.

@bytebro Oh, this is merely an attempt to gain attention (and it worked). Basset Hounds are quite bright (and manipulative).

This is the 'assistance' I am being offered in the garden. I had to explain to the gardening crew that plastic pots are not chew toys.

'This is for Basset Hounds. Go sit over there'

Panda shows off a new pillow for the sofa, which is indeed her primary lair. (Pillow was a gift from my brother.)

Here's how the Basset Hound wrestling matches end, with two exhausted pups!

(Panda, right, is clearly more exhausted than her young son, Pippin.)

Some dogs play by running around together, with one chasing the other.

Basset Hounds play by wrestling. And they use their mouths.

This scene between mother and son looks quite violent, but it wasn't. Pippin generally plays the underdog, and his mother, Panda, will often put her mouth around his throat in a mock attack on the jugular.

Again, no harm was done, and Pippin, who is nearly five years younger, usually wears Panda out during these wrestling matches.

It was 15 years ago today that Dermot, my beloved Basset Hound, was born. This is a photo of Dermot on his 7th birthday back in 2015.

Dermot passed away in 2021. He was quite an amazing companion, and rather accomplished in all sorts of canine activities, from the show ring to therapy work. While I have other Basset Hounds in the house, I still miss him every day.

I took Panda (seen here this morning on the sofa) and Pippin to an obedience trial yesterday, and both were entered in Rally obedience: Panda in Excellent, Pippin in Intermediate. Neither qualified (which didn't surprise me).

A friend at the trial said, after Panda spent her time in the ring sniffing and actively ignoring me, 'We love watching you and your Basset Hounds in the ring. They make the rest of us look good!' 😄

Pippin, left, is always aware that his mother, Panda, is ultimately in charge around here.
