Hah my cats like to sleep in the sink too, turning the water on them quickly is the most fun thing to do.

You want to sit on her?! :laughing:

Just because Basset Hounds are of French origin doesn't mean they're submissive.

On that note I was looking at adopting a Basset Hound, but he liked to chase cats :( It's sad cause I love hounds but it's in their genes to chase after smaller animals so they're hard to have around cats. The local SPCA has the most handsome Coonhound I've ever seen and he likes to sing but I can't adopt him either :(

^ That sucks Pete, sorry :(

My brother bought our Basset Hound from an actual breeder, but she was the runt of the litter so she wasnt as much as the others. From what I've seen so far, shes not all that interested in cats. But taking her for walks is a nightmare as she just stops everywhere, to sniff everything. It takes about half an hour just to get her down the road.

I can't stop laughing at this photo. I don't know why.

Whoa...

Yes. When something's cute, you've just got to sit on it. I rate your dog.

8.7/10.

When somethings cute, I want to aww at it. But each to their own :laughing: Basset Hound wasnt my first choice for a dog, but I think its cuter than an 8.7. My mate calls it the "cutest ugly dog".

That's kind of a haunting picture of your cat when he was a kitten, Paloma!

Speaking of haunting pictures, I learned recently that there are companies that freeze-dry people's dead pets such that they look amazingly and disturbingly life-like. I was surprised by this. I thought most people would just want their dead pets to be buried in the earth to become soil...rather than delay the process by freeze-drying and displaying them:

Yeah all hounds have to be kept on a leash because once they pick up a scent they will focus all their attention to that one scent, so hearing and sight are out of the question. I've read about Bloodhounds, Beagles, and Coonhounds walking across a freeway with their heads down to the ground following the scent. It's pretty freaking amazing but at the same time it kind of sucks for the dog because there are instances where you want to let them off their leash, but it's never fun chasing after them.

At least with Basset Hounds it's easy to catch up to them because of their stubby little legs and their lack of constant energy... now if it was a Rhodesian Ridgeback that's another story, however it's still debatable whether or not they fit in with the Hound category of dogs.

Haven't you ever watched Scrubs? Geeeezzz :(
