in reply to Basset. Now what?

Why's it called Basset, you ask? Well, it's very agreeable, easy to get along with, and likes set routine, just like basset hounds.

My experience with bassets is a little different. Ours (may she rest in peace since the mid 1990's) was stubborn, opinionated, and liked any routine that involved unauthorized access to human food. She was a wonderful dog, but not so agreeable... she seemed to love to disagree. Maybe that's what we (at the time, teenage) kids loved her so much. ;)
