He may be best known as the Hush Puppy dog, but the Basset Hound is much more than an advertising icon.

    Oh my god I thought I was a big manly welder and here I am crying my eyes out from this post. Absolutely beautiful. Love my two girl bassets back home. They’re getting close to twelve, but I’m gonna be there for them when the good lord comes for them.

    Bassets are great teachers! They teach us to be the best humans we can be. This was taught to me by my beautiful deaf basset LuLu. She passed three years ago, she was never well, but she tried her best — and we still miss her and think of her daily. 🙁

    All of these made me cry, but none more than the last one, because I remember my sweet Morgan, who had to be put down due to stomach cancer. Even though that happened 30 years ago I still cry every time I remember it….just like it was yesterday. I DO have so many good and sweet memories of him, though, and that helps. I will ALWAYS love him. He was the king of our domain.

    #20 was extremely sad for us. Our 9 year old had a grand mal seizure while we were out doing errands. We came home to find our other dog (Great Dane/Newfoundland) crying. She took us to him. We rushed him to the vet and they talked about having to stick a needle straight into his heart! How devastating that would be the only relief we could give him. He passed on his own though and he (his collar) goes with me everywhere as he should have to begin with.

    We just adopted 2 more bassets. One has his personality almost to a t and I have caught myself several times calling him the wrong name.
