Carina V., I love how Molly the Basset’s lips wrap around her prey like that. The adventure!

=====/Original post!=====

Wow, that’s like before we even did hovertexts ‘n’ stuff. Congratulations on your calendar appearance, Molly!

HEY! Molly was looking ahead!

3 biscuithead 09.29.08 at 9:52 pm

Love the eyes!

/Theo won’t let me compare them to David Bowie’s unless it’s the dog has same medical condition. ;)

Notice the dainty back paws!

4 seth 09.29.08 at 9:53 pm

love those eyes… is there a special name for that?

5 (the original) Mel 09.29.08 at 9:54 pm

I had a bassett named Molly too. I called her Molly McButter cause she was a little on the lumpen side.

6 Theo 09.29.08 at 10:02 pm

BiscuitHead – o_O

7 Theo 09.29.08 at 10:03 pm

…and, um, I might’ve *retroactively* added a few hovers. heh

8 SillyGirl 09.29.08 at 10:06 pm

Lurve the hover texts!

9 KendraPT 09.29.08 at 10:34 pm

I’ve never seen a Bassett with the two colored eyes before! The innocent sandwich stealing look is priceless.

10 Amanda 09.29.08 at 10:40 pm

Aww… she’s got a little grey on the muzzlepouch to mark the passage of time.

11 Golden or NTKTOK 09.29.08 at 10:52 pm

She’s gorgeous!

12 Sarah 09.29.08 at 11:05 pm

This is the classic CO post that I show people whenever I introduce them to this site! I love that danged bassett hound and her sandwich!

13 Cool Gecko 09.29.08 at 11:31 pm

What happened to his eyes? No offense to the pooch, but that kind of thing freaks me out. :(

14 Berg 09.29.08 at 11:39 pm

This is one of my all time favorite posts. I love the “Nothing to see here” casual face!

15 Lucas 09.29.08 at 11:55 pm

Basset hounds are SO the Cliff Claven of dogs!

16 Gail (the first one) 09.29.08 at 11:57 pm

Awwww!! One of our very own starlets!!!!

Of course, if Molly’s like the other Bassies I’ve known, she probably stepped on her own ears during her slow-speed getaway!

17 knightofmonarch 09.29.08 at 11:59 pm

Poor pup got one bad eye – but I bet her nose makes up for that

18 scooterpants 09.30.08 at 12:43 am

cool gecko i thought you were going to go by sun-something or other now?
the dog has one blue eye.
theres nothing wrong with it.(dont think)
anywho- that being said.
NO ONE is allowed to flip forward on MY COL calendar! Its no even 2009 yet.
No peeking. you guys are killin my buzz showing future pages when the Anal-retentive of us are freakin and trying not to see! ugh!
oh, but i love this post. what an angel.

19 ElishaB 09.30.08 at 1:29 am

What a pretty girl. I’m not a fan of bassets but she is really cute!

You go girl and be sure to get some treats to go with you celeb status now!!!

20 Kats 09.30.08 at 1:51 am

A true legend returns to CO! Looking good!

21 Theo 09.30.08 at 2:19 am

Peeps, that’s not a “bad” eye, that’s just a white eye–no visible iris. The pupil’s still there. Dogs get that a lot.

(and no, it’s not the David Bowie look, it’s more like Marilyn Manson with that one special-effect contact lens)

22 Redbone 09.30.08 at 2:23 am

Seth – I dunno if there’s an official name for eyes like that, but around my area we just call it “moon-eyed.”

23 DejaMew 09.30.08 at 2:23 am

OK, so now CO is exhibiting some weirdness with Firefox on the Mac. I checked the site using Safari and it looks to be ok. My question is, did the recent FF update screw up the Qte?

btw, very cute mcpuppersons!

24 Selphie le Boffin 09.30.08 at 2:33 am

I always wanted a Basset Hound when I was a kid. They are just teh perfect Qte.
I’b gob da breebbb…

25 Katy 09.30.08 at 3:05 am

I’m not a dog person, but…
I LUB HER!

26 berthaservant 09.30.08 at 3:08 am

Excellent Mushmouth hovertext, Teho!! Good to see an old friend return to the Load!

27 Totalee Puppy 09.30.08 at 3:29 am

Hovertext fantastic! Loving this post. Wish I could look cute stealing a sandwich…

28 biscuithead 09.30.08 at 3:58 am

Theo

LOVE the hover text!

I’ll defer to you on the Marilyn Manson reference for the resemblance of the eyes being more accurate, even though I find Bowie to be a WAY cooler dude!

/No sore feelings here – I was just giving you a little gas.

29 nottmi 09.30.08 at 5:25 am

the hound steals your sandwich while THE EYE STEALS YOUR SOUL

30 binky-mama 09.30.08 at 5:59 am

I gots me a sammich!!!

doo dee doo de dum….

31 Selphie le Boffin 09.30.08 at 6:09 am

Um, hello? The eye is totally photoshopped. Look at the pixels!
And the bread too. Someone clearly photoshopped the bread into her mouth. Look at the dodgy outline. What dog would eat bread, anyway?

NB. Joking

32 Michelle S 09.30.08 at 8:40 am

She’s still a beauty! Star quality! <3

33 Hon Glad 09.30.08 at 8:54 am

“We Bassets were trained for hunting small prey, I think sandwhich snarfing is a good substitute.”

34 Yetta 09.30.08 at 11:01 am

I have a bassett, and yes dogs will eat bread, my bassett will eat anything, she once stole a whole 1lb block of cheese off of the counter. You just gotta luv them…..and our bassett also talks in mushmouth,,,,,,,Molly is beautiful.

35 cheesybird 09.30.08 at 11:07 am

Go Molly Go! Go Molly Go!

*does little dance in honor of Molly*

A thtar ith born.

36 Totalee Puppy 09.30.08 at 12:44 pm

Binky-Mama…You are
so cute…(sigh)

37 Mikeyfur 09.30.08 at 1:15 pm

I remember this one from the original post! And every time I’ve seen a Basset over the past two years, I’ve thought about this little sandwich stealer. Thanks for the encore presentation.

38 chanpon 09.30.08 at 1:32 pm

Poor bassett hound looks like he sneezed a little too hard.

39 Lurker 09.30.08 at 1:50 pm

I missed this one first time around – what an absolutely beautiful beast!

40 Lurker 09.30.08 at 1:51 pm

Although he was a Lab rather than a Bassett, my King loved him some bread. And pancakes. You could flip a slice of bread or a pancake across the yard like a Frisbee, and he’d catch it every time.

41 Beebo 09.30.08 at 2:12 pm

Aww, Molly, you’re still beautiful. You remind me of my beagle, who has had the same kind of “graying” on her head over the years. Still gorgeous, and I’m willing to bet still sneaky enough to steal a sammidge!

42 Raegan 09.30.08 at 3:58 pm

Wow. I have always thought that Molly was one of the most beautiful Basset Hounds evar.

43 eikoleigh 09.30.08 at 5:32 pm

aaah…. :-)

44 Legotech 09.30.08 at 5:46 pm

We use the oven as a breadbox to keep the critters out…the problem being that when we use the oven we have to stuff the bread on the back of the dryer with stuff piled in front or Radar will help himself to a loaf or two…he LURVES bread. He really likes the french or italian when it gets stale…then he uses it like a rawhide and chews on it for hours.

45 Kimmy 09.30.08 at 6:06 pm

Beautiful kid! I think they call that parti-eye?

46 jmuhj 09.30.08 at 7:34 pm

That’s one of the absolute ugliest living beings I’ve ever laid eyes on.

47 hurf 09.30.08 at 8:20 pm

jmuhj – you must not have any mirrors in your house.

48 Theo 09.30.08 at 9:42 pm

I thought “Party Eye” was what Paris Hilton has.

49 Theo 09.30.08 at 9:42 pm

(meh, did I just say that?)
