  3. J. says:

  4. Birdcage says:

    I thinking about getting a bassett hound.

  5. Steve in NH says:

    Sacrilege!!!!!

  6. Eric Hanneken says:

    Columbo also referred to his basset hound as “Dog,” although that was because he never decided on a proper name for him.

    • Z.R. says:

    ….”And God saw that it was Cute.”

    LOVIN’ that great big, bright, humongous Flowere. And Howard holding it in his teefs, like a Spanish flamenco dancere…..

    • Gigi says:

      Arrrggg! Now I have the picture of a famenco dancing Basset Hound in my head.
      How am I supposed to work? LOL!

      • Theresa says:

        No one can work with a flamenco dancing Basset hound in his/her head. I think you can go home.

        • tracylee says:

          you’re right… impossible. I just tried.

          • skippymom says:

            That’s strange–I can ONLY work if I have a picture of a flamenco-dancing basset hound in my head.

          • Fird Birfle says:

            (at times, I LOVE this joint.)

          • Theresa says:

            But Skippymom, of course you can work with a picture of a flamenco dancing basset hound in your head. It’s difficult, but possible. But if you can work with an actual flamenco dancing basset hound in your head . . . that’s something.

    First, the combination of Howard, his purple coneflower, his eyes, his ears, is tooooooo cute for mere words. I must squee and be keeled to emote my response properly.
    Second, tracylee and Martha in Washington – I almost ruined my monitor guffawing all over it, thank you very much! :D As a very spiritual Christian, I thank you for starting off my prayers in a joyful frame of mind, though I gotta believe God rolled his eyes at my constant sniggering/snickering at some point. And please, folks, the previous are my way of expressing my opinions so let me have my free speech, okey dokey?

  12. Malinki says:

    Hush, puppy.

  13. barbara says:

    One of the best pictures ever.

  14. Theresa says:

    Oh, stinkin’, STINKIN’ cute! Howard, I am yours!

  15. Desdemona says:

    Check out that Nat Geo link — Howard is only the beginning!

  16. HP says:

    Is anyone else reminded of Henry Gibson?

    • MudBug says:

      Sock it to me !!!!!

    • Susan says:

      Lovely velvety schnozzle!

      • HP says:

        That’s just what Jo Anne Worley said about Henry Gibson.

        (Well, it made Goldie Hawn giggle.)

    • Fird Birfle says:

      @ HP:

      Most astute point. I commend ye.

    • victoreia says:

      I’m waiting for my poem now….

      • Fird Birfle says:

        well, skippymom, on this trip over to the computer lab in my apt bldg, I didn’t carry headphones/ earbuds/ earplug thinggies …. If no one else (Here’s lookin’ atchew, Theresa?) handles the research by about lunchtime on Thurs., I’ll check it out then (gotta doctor’s appt in the am)

        • Fird Birfle says:

          oops, I meant to direct that reply to Victoreia
          *blushes and kicks YET ANOTHER dirt clod in embarrassment (sp)*

  17. Momcat says:

    Aww, sweet puppy wants you to be healthy! He’s bringing you an echinacea flower! Just the cutest little thing I’ve seen since…well, the corgi pup a few days ago!

  18. gryt says:

    Leeeps. :)

  19. Gigi says:

    There was a Basset Hound on TV when I was a kid, her name was Églantine.
    Her master Basile, would try to get her to do something, anything, like bark or come or move even and she would just sit there, looking at him with those big eyes. LOL!

  20. Nick says:

    Widdle cutie! He’s got something on his nose. *beep*

    Can’t… ignore… those eyes! Must… walk… the dog!

    Cute overload has an abundance of puns! Today they’re unusually punny!

  21. (The Original) Mel says:

    I miss my basset hound, Molly McButter. I am a bit of a dog jowl enthusiast.

  22. skippymom says:

    Oh, his name is Howard.
    Before I read that, I just assumed he was named Andy, as in that classic hymn: “Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own…”

    • tracylee says:

      *snerk*
      that was my grandmother’s favorite hymn, and I can’t hear it at all without my eyes leaking a little (a lot, actually)… mentally replacing it with this instead may just be the finger in the dike so I can hold it in! yay! :D

  23. Jessy says:

    I used to be a dyslexic atheist. I am still dyslexic, but after seeing that pic, I now believe in Dog! :D

  24. skippymom says:

    When I was a kid, our neighbors had a Bassett named Badger. He used to walk down the street (yes, all dogs roamed free in those days) so s l o w l y that his nickname was Lightning.

  25. Dog Gone Cute If you ask me… and even if you don’t ask me. :)

  26. skippymom says:

    Profound Philosophical Question Of The Day:
    If a basset hound carries a big flower in his mouth and no one asks KittyAdventures about it, is it still cute?

  27. HP says:

    Also, guess what the H in my initials stands for? I’m going to bookmark this thread for all the times I feel unappreciated, so I can pretend it’s about me.

  28. April's NaNa says:

    Did you hear about the “dislexic” agnostic who developed insomnia? Bahdum-bump: He stayed awake all night wondering if there is a Dog!

  29. Ellen says:

    Oh, basset hounds. You melt my heart into puddles. I just want to smooooooooosh your little floppy faces and ears and cover them with kisses and loves! And the flower… just… my heart, it is mush!

    I am pretty sure if Howard were human, he would be a gentleman caller with a bicycle built for two in the 1920s.

  30. bob drummond says:

    This reminds me, Today is my 32nd wedding anniversary . I better do something special for Marlene- or I’ll pay for later on!

  31. zoetta says:

    A greeting card company needs to see this!

  32. Space Cowgirl says:

    Of course Dog loves you! Dogs love everyone.

    I’m not usually a dog person, but this pic is precious.

  33. p-wagz says:

    There are few things in life that will make my head explode. This is one of those things.

  34. Rooanne says:

    Hey! The other day I met a basset hound named Petunia, who was decked out with sparkly pink nail polish and a halter to match.
