An excited basset hound

My companion is a basset hound who has been my closest friend for about 6 years. Here he is.

There he is and he is showing his usual state of attention.

I decided to add a couple of additional pics.

Winston and Bradley

Here is Winston with Bradley Fikes.

Baby Winston

Here he is as a puppy with his owner taking a nap.

Bassets don’t like water and can’t swim but snow is OK as long as it isn’t too deep.

He doesn’t mind but it can be cold out there.

Then, it can be really deep.

It can be too deep and it’s tough to lift a leg then.

Here is a great basset hound story. The owner lost the dog for ten years after a divorce and then, looking for a new dog, he found her in the shelter web site. They are back together. I’d post the video but it can’t be copied.

    One of my best friends is my 7-year-old spaniel and right now he looks just like your Bassett.

    Wow thats pretty cool.
    Its awfully nice to have a good pet companion to keep you company through those tough winters.
    Its even nicer to have an actual person as a friend imo.

    Dogs have the advantage that they don’t talk or argue. They may bite you but they forget about it a minute later. No grudges.
