I have a new strategy for wearing out the bassets. Take them on a walk with the neighbours dogs. Today we did our regular loop walk in only 60 minutes when it normally takes us around 80-90.
These two boys are in love with their new friends and ran almost the whole way around. That’s up and down hills, in an out of hedges and of course through the biggest muddiest puddles around.
But these two bassets stick together at all times. Just in case these new found friends turn nasty.
There is a problem being a big dog on short legs. You can get left behind when the chase begins.
Or in Fortnum’s case you can be left a long way around.
Fortnum’s not taking any chances though in case he gets bowled over by his spaniel friend who is really motoring. To fast for me to capture clearly on film.
There is no doubt that the bassets are in love with this new girl friend. She’s real pretty.
Which is more than can be said for my excited and exhausted bassets who had so much fun today wading through the mud.
I can tell you who wasn’t allowed in the house till they’d been washed and dried off today. But hey it’s only mud and when you’re out with your friends you get to show off a bit more than you normally would.
Oooooo, grey lady sure is pretty! What a stunner! And fast legs spaniel looks delightfully crazy! What a lot of fun!
Great action shot of the spaniel and yes the weimaraner is pretty.
Some lovely pictures – its looks like great fun. We are all missing our spaniel who we had to leave back in the UK. I think we will have to eventually get a dog to truely fit in over here. My two girls adore looking at the pictures of your Bassets.
what great new friends for your boys!!
mud is good for the complexion you know?
