Hello, I'm Holly...

Hello out there, welcome to my bassetblog. I thought I would introduce myself with a few candid photos and some lessons on understanding basset hounds.


We bassets are French in heritage and consider ourselves to be temporarily displaced aristocracy, and entitled to all the priveliges of royalty, robes included.






Comfort is of the utmost importance, we have a very NARROW comfort zone, and when I'm not in it, you'll hear about it.







Fortunately I can be comfortable in almost any position... To achieve this, I practice relaxing about 20 hours a day.







When not actively engaged in relaxing, I can frequently be found following my nose. The basset's sense of smell is second only to the bloodhound, if only we would use our powers for good rather than evil... nah. It's worth mentioning that although we're low to the ground, we're looong and can have surprising agility and reach, always useful for activities such as "counter cruzing".



Yes, we do prefer to enjoy the comforts of life, and we fully expect the people in our lives to respect that and accomodate our needs. So long as that is understood, we'll have a wonderful and loving relationship. Until next time, "Au Revoir..."
(OK, where's my treat???)
