There are a few times when owning two dogs is less than fun.\u00c2\u00a0 Like this morning when somebody puked on the carpet, and there’s just no other place to puke than carpet, despite all of the tile and hardwood to choose from.\u00c2\u00a0 Or when I am taking dogs outside to pee for the millionth time in the pouring rain.\u00c2\u00a0 Or when I leave for work and I hear the sighs of two dogs as I close the door.\u00c2\u00a0 However, that quickly goes away when I see something like this:\u00c2\u00a0 Bassett Hounds Running<\/a><\/p>\n

Good lord, I can’t handle the cute.\u00c2\u00a0 One thing is for certain, and that is Basset Hounds are not “Built For Speed”.\u00c2\u00a0 You can actually see the leg skin moving….\u00c2\u00a0 This guy is concentrating as hard as he can on just not tripping on his ears.\u00c2\u00a0 His lips must obscure his vision from time to time.<\/p>\n

I just know that Lloyd has this kind of picture in him, he has almost as much loose skin as these clowns, and of course he can actually run, unlike these guys.\u00c2\u00a0 I need to get a picture of Lloyd running, or figure out how to take one.\u00c2\u00a0 My camera-fu isn’t up to the task.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there you go.\u00c2\u00a0 You can’t tell me these pictures don’t make you willing to forgive quite a bit of carpet puke, and lots of trips to the backyard.\u00c2\u00a0 I know it worked on me.<\/p>\n
