That is the absolute truth. In 1992, I was not doing very well after being hit by a car and badly injured. The accident happened in 1987, but the injuries were severe. My husband handed me a basset hound puppy who I called The Bonehead. Her actual name was Rappunzel, but I called her Bonehead. She was one of the best things that ever happened to me. She gave me a reason to get up in the morning and to get moving again. I learned what “hounding” someone was. When she wanted a walk, I better get up and do it, or else. That is why I called her “The Bonehead”. She had a head of solid bone, it was her way or the highway. She was beyond stubborn and I loved it. I had had three more basset since and they were all perfect. It is the only breed I now will get.
My basset Rufus has a mugshot on an Air Force base in Massachusetts after stealing food from construction workers 👷♂️. Didn’t even run from the MPs. he looked like a stuffed sausage and weighed like a small elephant.
My first dog was a basset. I was 4 years old..i was a brat and the dog should have bit my arm off and beaten me to death with it..but true to their nature..she in turn loved me back..I will always say, basset hounds and children go together like melted ice cream and summertime.
Tears in my eyes. My very best friend was a basset I named Shadow. He suffered from what ever it is that twists their stomach and the second time he passed away. I want another one. You don’t own a basset. They pick you and humans are just the vehicle they get to have the means to give back.
That was a very nice video. My first dog as a boy was a basset hound, her name was Sorry Belle. That was over 50 years ago. I still think of her sometimes.
My dad and I lost our best friend Zander, a Rhodesian ride back the day before my birthday on Father’s Day, a careless teenager was speeding and texting and he died in our arms on the way to the vet, I miss him more than anything
Driving from Miami to Georgia soon to meet our newest family member Rufus. Never owned a basset before but they seem so loving and too darn cute to pass up. Hoping he brings many years of happiness and lots of laughter.
I love your little basset, I have one as well. He’s a doll baby. I’m so sorry about the loss of your fur babies, that’s so hard. I only have one basset never raised one before and boy has he been something else. Took us 8 months to potty train, they do everything on their own time…lol. We still love him and wouldn’t trade him for anything. Here’s to a new journey with Truman…❤️
Oh my goodness, the boys have grown so much! I loved this video! I am sorry for all of your losses, I can't imagine how devastating that must have been. I hope you will keep posting! I've missed your videos. I hope you are feeling much healthier. I love your new puppy!
boys and girls and bassets hounds go together like summer and melted ice cream.. I was 4 when I got my first dog and she was none other then a basset hound.
I just put down my precious Bassett Lady on the 8th. She was seizing in the yard and the vet stated she was no longer herself. We had to out her down the next morning our Doberman was diagnosed with lymphoma of the liver and spleen and has around 2 months. It's so hard to lose our fur babies. I will always want a dobe and Bassett. They got into mushrooms that grew in the yard.
I've had a few basset hounds. Great dogs and great for kids. My most recent one, Dexter, had to be put to sleep last year after he developed a condition called bloat. He was not quite 12 years old.
Come December 19, we will have had our Bessie for one year. She was born October 10, 2016, and my wife saw her at 4-5 weeks old. She staked her claim for her and when we got the go ahead from the breeder she picked her up. She is quite a dog! Sweet, stubborn, loving, funny, and just plain cute. This is the third basset for my wife and the first one for me. I can now really see the attraction.
I have raised BASSET hounds for years and never had this happened to any of my hounds, these dogs are gifts from god, I wonder how long this little baby will last with you.
You should have seen my Oreo. She had a black stripe down her nose instead of a white one and had beautiful gold eyes tinged with green. I have never seen eyes like that. She was gorgeous and sweet. I miss her ad her sister Peanut. Peanut was a beautiful brown and white little girl. She loved everybody. If she didn’t like you, you were evil.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just got my first basset hound in May 2022. I absolutely love my baby girl, Bourbon Skye Blu!!! What a loving and laidback dog, but OMG so playful!!
@@DavidLS1 That is my beagle Lucy Mae. Lucy is now in heaven 🙏 I now have 2 other beagles, Sammi Jo and Lexi Mae and my Bassett hound, Bourbon Skye Blu. I wish I can send you pictures.
@@cherylmizak1416 "Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together." -Author unknown
That's why I won't own another dog. My brownie and Blackie passed away decades ago and I still haven't recovered fully. Too hard to let them go. If there is a heaven, and I believe there is, and I make it, I hope they are both there to meet me.
I have a pure breed but u should be careful with him and try not to flip them around and don’t let them jump up on things because basset get a thing called bloat which is when there stomach flips upside down and it can kill them
Bassets are THE BEST! I hope y'all realize they are not regular dogs. They don't do regular dog things - like fetch and mind. haha But he will be your best friend and sleep in your bed and eat your food, and maybe stink a little. I miss my basset so much. Enjoy him!
The basset hound is the most lovely dog in the universe ♥️
Yes🥰🐾
The smiles on the boys faces was priceless! 😊
They're not very enthusiastic tomato pickers, but Truman fixed what was going to be a boring day.
Basset Hound. Worlds best anti depressant. There is no dog that will love you more.

Totally agree ♥️🐾

I am sorry for your losses. Truman is a beautiful hound, may y'all be blessed with many happy, healthy years and fun basset adventurers together.
Truman is absolutely adorable!!! I love his big, floppy ears! Thanks for sharing your boy's reactions to your newest family member! Priceless!
There is nothing in this world that can put a bigger smile on my face than a puppy can!!!
The happiest breed around. Silly, sweet, perfect.
Precious Truman, and what dear children. Loved their reactions! Enjoy this darling dog. There is no sweeter breed!
Awwwwwww. The puppy was so cute. It reminds me of when my parents surprised me with a basset
Such a special video ❤️ we have a basset mix and this sweetheart reminds us so much of her ❤️✨
So sorry for all of your loss and heartbreak, but so very happy for your family and sweet Truman!!!

My Tyson was like that when we first got him. He passed away this summer, he would’ve been 14 this Christmas Eve. RIP my beloved poochie 🥰
This is why I'll become an AKC breeder of Basset Hounds...I will look
forward to brightening kid's and parent's life...
Aww He's so cute. Congrats. I Hope you are feeling a better. I love your sons walking dead shirt!
Bassets are so CHILL. My boy was just like this: just happy to be LOVED.
He still is a pretty chill until the nail clippers or vacuum comes into play.
I have raised BASSET hounds for years and never had this happened to any of my hounds, these dogs are gifts from god, I wonder how long this little baby will last with you.
tool maker hopefully for a long time until he is an old man.
Wonderful. Grass is good for them. Thank you for using chest harness.
Basset hound pets are the best. Our Gretchen says to enjoy your new puppy.
The most beautiful dogs in the world hands down

Is that a basset hound or a beagle?
