How many bassets can fit in one recliner? 
Apparently two - albeit it doesn't look real comfortable.
My silly boys.

Today's basset is a children's book that my friends

and I really needed that smile.

A priceless picture of all the bassets. 
They sit so patiently waiting for Dad to come home.
As soon as they hear his vehicle coming they start whining
and shaking uncontrollably.  You'd think they loved him or something.

Photography

My boy Hoover is pretty camera elusive. 
For some reason he shys away from picture time.
That made this all the more special. 
I had to snap this shot where he is laying his head
on my knees not so subtly begging to get on my lap.

This is my precious little Cleopatra. 
She is 13 years old and when we got her we were told
she was a pure bred Basset Hound.  We quickly figured out
that she alot Basset but also alot Beagle.  She has the short legs, squatty body,
but her face and ears are definitely Beagle.  She was a wonderful
surrogate mama for "the boys" when we brought them home.

This might be one of the tougher photographs I have taken.
My little basset friend here is about 1"x 1".
In order to get this photo I had to be down on it's level
(i.e. the ground) to get the perspective correct.
I'm not getting any younger here and let's just say it was quite a feat!



Day 12 My Belated Basset

My good friend Oneida bought me a cute little box of chocolates
with this cutie on the lid.  No doubt the candy was AMAZING
but it didn't hold a candle to the picture. 

It is IMPOSSIBLE not to look at that face
without saying "Ohhhhhh"!

I had to take a picture of it knowing I would have a use for it someday.
Who knew it would be so soon!

Day 8 Peeking Hoover

This is my "boy" Hoover peeking through the doggie door hole.
My crazy boys managed to rip the plastic door completely off.
He just stood there like
"What?  I have no idea what happened!"

 

Day 6 Tracker

Posed Photograph

I cannot take credit for creating this little cutie -
his name is "Tracker" and he is more than
happy to fill the challenge for today.
Some incredibly busy days have a way of keeping me from
being able to be "truly creative".  

He was a gift to me from a co-worker and he just
lounges around on my computer in my cubicle.

Photoscape Edited Photograph

This is an existing photograph I have of Kirby at 4 months old. 
Decided to make it today's post rather than a original creation
due to my thumb injury at the shooting range.   More creative
endeavors will follow once the healing is complete.
Isn't he just the most adorable little man?
