When you’re a creature of habit, making change can be a pain, a chore and even a down right bore. Â I may have grumbled at the time but restrictions on basset walking forced us to find new walks and in the process we’ve met new dog walking friends. Â Although it’s not been all bad although we are so pleased to be back along some of our favourite bush walks. Â There are new smells to explore, old territories to reclaim and brotherly games to play. Â Best of all it means we can get back to some free ranging off lead in safety and the bassets and I can happily walk in peace and harmony. Â We all have our freedom to explore, me with my camera and the bassets with their noses. Things couldn’t be more perfect.
Once again – great photos! Especially the final one of the two of them – made me smile and go ahhhhh. Makes me wish I could find a place to walk my hounds off leash. But my kids are not very well trained and don’t listen to me – I am, afraid they would take off and I would never see them again.
Hi Joanna, I am always very cautious about letting the bassets off lead and have to have my wits about me. They are generally good but I don’t trust them an inch. That last photograph is now on my computer – my current favourite, even with their slobbery ears.
it’s such a delight to watch a basset amble along in their own little world, nose to the ground!! You’ve their essence wonderfully. Hope you are bracing for winter, our summer here is already rearing it’s ugly head, it’s going to be a long hot one!!
Love the last pic of the boys posing, those poor ears, what a mess, Drawback of having/being a basset
There is no such thing as a smart basset photograph with so much slobber everywhere!
