A Demonstration of Adorableness

Now, I'm not saying that I am the most adorable Basset Hound in the world ...because I think it's quite obvious (ahem). I'm a modest Basset. Sometimes it's fun to mug for the camera though - the humans go mad for this kind of stuff.

Lake Basset





This is my paw print.









I made this paw print while running around at Little Dog Lake yesterday. Some might not believe it, but I am a lake dog. Inspired by my big sister Claire, I've become an expert swimmer and wet stick chaser. I don't particularly enjoy her shaking the water out of her fur all over me though.
My little brother, Clifford, is getting better at running around the beach. He's a little shy to get in the water, though it is getting cold now and he's just a little pup. We'll have to see what he does next summer.

Hounds

Me and my baby brother Clifford. We're the hounds of house.

When I had a licker problem...

Well, I have adorable little licker that makes slurpy noises when I kiss. 

Last January my poor little tongue was injured in a licking accident. Being born in August doesn't prepare you much for ice and snow, so it was important that I investigated all surfaces. My hound dog sniffer caught a whiff of barbecue on the door step leaving me no choice but to let my licker be the judge.

I was a tad astonished when my licker attached itself to the step!

A tug set it free, but left a little layer of frozen Gromit tongue behind. Mum cried, gave me the biggest bowl of water I had ever seen, and embarrassingly called the veterinarian office. I knew this wasn't necessary but Mums sometimes need reassurance, so whatever. The special Gromit hugs and attention for the rest of the day were not refused, and did help me heal. My adorable licker returned to sloppy kissing within hours, and has been active ever since.
