Here’s my future cutie. First time ever having a dog, in my entire life. Always had cats, they’re easy, low maintenance, and quite chill. I want to know what do you do with a dog? Aside from the obvious like walks, fetch/ tug, and lovins. I guess my questions is what do you DO with a basset all day? How long does yours require one on one attention and what do they do when theyre not playing? Just lay around like a cat? I want to make sure I have a happy pup who feels loved. don’t want them to be sad or bored.
Thank you!

My boy is getting big… He has all of his adult teeth and a much softer mouth. Still a little shit &
troublemaker….

I could use some words of encouragement and maybe some tips for my Moose.

The rebellion has started.

Also in need of sniff puzzle ideas? We have some actual puzzles and snuffle mats he likes, but I want more that I can throw together. He's not a fan of the rolled towel with treats.

My wife insisted Daisy wore her pink tutu. Daisy didn't care, she got lots of attention. She promptly fell asleep in the car on the way home

My hound dog

It’s been a while… happy almost howl-o-ween 🐶🎃

Now the weather has turned for the better the pack is ready for some walkies

Lily's groomer likes to paint her toenails every month as part of her session. Too cute!

Bubbles will win any staring competition. 🤣

Our first walk off leads, quite the success. Many treats were consumed.

Kady Lynn. My shadow and heart dog. Miss you every day honey. I still have the lamb that she loved although I did give in and eventually wash it

She was so funny. She loved to hide stuffed animals in laundry, blankets, under couch cushions etc. never hurt them though

If you’re reading this I hope you have a dog that loves you as much and you love this much

Didn’t think I’d find another dog with as much character as my basset.

Show me your Halloween Basset's?

hi fellow basset lovers! I’m here looking for some support and or reassurance. We got our second basset hound last year who we absolutely adore. Our dogs are our world. We currently are struggling with walking our dogs. If anyone has walked a basset hound, you know, but two together is so hard. We both work full time (me as a nightshift RN) and we are expecting a baby soon. Our dogs getting walked is very important to us, but my body literally cannot handle walking the two together it hurts my back/pelvis with the constant sniffing, refusing to walk, pulling. I feel so guilty because they used to get walked all the time and now I can’t do it unless my spouse is here, so the end up only getting a few walks per week. Not to mention walking isn’t exercise for me if I’m stopping every few feet. We do have a large yard they play in and we play fetch with them etc, I just feel like I suck as a dog parent. Just looking for any suggestions of any of you who’ve been in the same boat as us. Also please be nice I’m pregnant and sensitive 🥲

So I got my boy Bailey when he was a puppy almost 9 years ago. He’s made 4 moves in the military with me and has been there with me through my highest highs and lowest lows. He’s comforted me when heartbroken and weighted blanket whenever I needed it.

After he’s lost almost 20 pounds in the course of 3 months we found out today that he has a massive tumor in his abdomen and his spine is almost completely fused from arthritis. The vet says he’s probably only got 1-2 good weeks left.

That’s news I never expected to hear. I thought I had time. I thought he’d be here to meet and play with my daughter after she’s born. I thought we’d have more movie nights curled up on the floor. More car rides that ended at our favorite ice cream spot. One vet appointment and everything has changed.

It’s an understatement to say this boy saved my life more than once. I just hope I was able to give him half of what he’s given me.

To anyone reading this. Hold your pups tight. There’s no such thing as too many pets. If they make a mess or tear something up clean it up and move on. Your time with them is limited and one day you’ll miss everything about them.

I apologize for the sad post but I’m just devastated. It’s my turn to be strong for him.

recently got a printer and discovered some nice raised bowl holders for our hounds so made some of those. also found this basset duck some one created and just had to print one, and more eventually haha

Neither the bowl or the basset duck are my creations:
