Does anyone have or has had a basset hound?? sm
We have a 5 month old basset, girl, and all she seems to do is cry. We have 3 other dogs (other breeds), males, and they never cry except when they need to go out. This little one just wines and cries all the time. She was sick with pneumonia and kennel cough when we got her and was also having some kind of anxiety or depression because all of her siblings were gone. She had given up on life and had quit eating and drinking. She adjusted well in our home and loves the other dogs and our kids. She is healthy now, but still cries a lot. Just wondering if this is a basset trait, a girl-dog trait, or is it just her?? Thanks!
We had to put our Basset Hound to sleep today
she wasn't feeling well and was having a lot of back pain and trouble breathing. My vet took a back xray, which was fine, but he said the chest xray was abnormal. We took her for an ultrasound, and the result was advanced lung cancer. It was a struggle for her to get air, because she had so much fluid built up around her lungs and heart. The vet said they could extract the fluid, but it would build back up again.
The vet said it was a really bad case, and with chemo, she'd probably only live 6 months to a year, and even that wasn't guaranteed. She said she could start LouLou on chemo and she could die in a week or two. She also said with the fluid buildup, we'd have to keep taking her in to have fluid extracted. She was just 2.5 years old.
We're pretty sad.
It's funny watching my Basset Hound in the snow, it's over his back! nm

What a great story, I have a basset hound named Biscuit. nm

We have a basset with anxiety (sm)
He's an old male and whines and howls a lot, particularly when we have company. He's always been like that. When he's particularly bad, my husband was instructed to give him an antianxiety drug. (I'm not sure which one--he had specific instructions of which I am unclear.) Our female basset is happy, jumpy, playful, and silly.
I'm not sure, but maybe your basset just has that kind of personality like our basset does. My husband has raised several bassets. This male dog he has is the only one that has had anxiety problems. He's raised several female bassets with no anxiety, excessive whining, or excessive howling problems like the male.
Our boy dog howls so much sometimes that his voice gets hoarse. It's so sad to hear it happen.
I have a hound who is 3 now, he was the HARDEST dog SM
I have ever had to train! I think basset hounds in generale are difficult to train. Just be patient, she will "get it" soon.
I was used to having boxers before we got the basset.
I have a 3-1/2 yo basset, Biscuit, he cries and whines all the time sm
I bought him from a chain pet store and he was a little older when I got him. He was difficult to train too, but I hear that hounds are generally. I had a boxer who was so gentle and calm, took me a while to get used to the basset!
BOYCOTT!! I think she is a media hound (nicer word than what I really think) sm
and we should not dignify what she has done by giving her one iota of attention. And any station that decides to give her a "show" (like Jon&Kate plus 8 or that Duggars Giant humongous family - disgusting) should be absolutely boycotted and all their sponsors too. Promoting this stuff is just WRONG.
My beagle used to do that
Upsetting but natural. I had to keep her up until the rabbits got old enough to escape her. Now she's long gone and the red tail hawks pick off the baby bunnies.
He was a beagle
My dad named him; I was 3 years old.
One time I jumped on the bed with him and then lay down ... he started licking my face with me giggling and closing my eyes. When I reopened them, he was puking green all over me! I remember my mom wasn't too happy as it got all over my little dress too. :)
He was a sweet dog.
Seems to me that I have read the basset hounds are prone to spine problems...
because they have long bodies and short legs leading to lameness and paralysis, but I wouldn't figure that a puppy would already be having these problems.
She is a beagle but she has been mistaken ...sm
for a Bassett Hound before. She is very fat and very lazy but a sweet little tender hearted doll.
I have a very overweight beagle....sm
She just went to the vet the other day and he didn't seem too concerned. She weighed 40 pounds. She weighed 30 before being spayed. I told him she barely eats much. There is no way the weight can come from overeating. He said she is fixed right? I said yes. He said well that happens sometimes. They gain a lot of weight due to the hormone changes. I knew it had to be that cause she didn't get like that until we had her spayed. So I figured that was it and it is. So he said not really much you can do. She is very lazy though. My husband said put her out in the backyard and make her get some exercise. Well the backyard is fenced in so I put her back there and she lays out in the grass and looks at me after going potty. I said come on get up and play. She just looks at me like I can be lazy inside or lazy outside but I am going to be lazy. LOL
oh dear! I'm a beagle lover and I know what
you are going through. Poor poor poor puppy. I know they grow up to be dogs, but I can't help it, they're all still puppies to me!!
Keep updating on the board!
first beagle ever in 137 years to win best in show...
at the Westminster dog show last night!...Hooray! Snoopy and his brother Needles are celebrating today for sure! The regular guy's dog wins!  Cat
Was just about ready to post cat on the beagle
I am former owner of pedigreed female Beagle with the best tri-coloring One has ever seen. I not longer own her, cannot go there at this time. I will try to post my precious Pinkie at this time. If I can't oh well Note: She lives in Hawaii. I am her grandmother. Sorry could not upload her! Tree-Walker Hound she is
I miss my beagle baby
I miss my beagle!! I took her this morning to have an abortion and get spayed in the meantime. I know, ABORTION?! Well under the circumstances I had to. She was bred by my pit bull. She couldn't have safely had the puppies. SO she really needed spaying anyway. Should have already been done and this wouldn't have happened. But gosh it is like your child. I worry and miss her so much. All I can think is is she ok, does she wonder why I left her at this strange place. I am sure she just thinks I have gotten rid of her. I hope she is sedated so she won't get too upset. She is extremely shy and doesn't like to be around strangers. I just can't wait till I can go pick her up in the morning. It is funny how we are so attached to our dogs. She is my baby.
A beagle is a wonderful dog for familys...sm
They usually don't get any bigger than 20-something pounds; though, mine is 30-something but she is overweight. They are very sweet dogs. The only thing is you have to have a fenced in yard because beagles love to wander.
I have my beagle baby back home!!!...sm
She was happy to see me and my other dog was very happy because just in the 24 hours she was gone he would not eat. He began to be destructive which he doesn't ever do when you are at home with him. He would go get magazines out of the magazine basket and shred them. He doesn't normally do that unless I leave him at home alone. But I was home so it had to be because his friend was gone and he wanted her back. She is sore but she will be fine. At least I don't have to worry about her coming in to heat anymore.
now- white lab, dobe/shepherd, terrier mix, beagle/blue heel, from shelters.

Definitely remember Buffy's Bark. Also had a Bassett Hound and remember his bark(EOM)
.
How cute is that?
 Once again, out of the mouths of babes!
these are cute!
I have a brother that would have been good for doing such things. He use to try to scare my mom too. one time he had a halloween tape and called her up (mind you he was just upstairs in his bedroom) from his phone and play some pranks. in the beginning she believed these were real callers!
That is just too cute! sm
My little guy barks like mad and runs and takes the toy, then hides it. My big guy likes to tear them up.
cute ! nm

You are just too cute!
Check out my new one! I don't do very well with pies either, but I sure can bake a birthday cake! I love the beach! My husband and I plan to retire there just as soon as we get these children through high school! So, my daughter decides (she's 7 now), that she is just going to retire with us after high school! Yeah, right! No way, Jose, you're going to college girl! LOL, LOL
No not cute, but certainly not an act
problems. You can teach your child to have manners, but the original post was in regards to a "school" rule that the child would be taken away from the general population and "punished". I just think there are much more that we could focus on than a natural process of the bodily functions. Just say excuse me, and move on. Whoever is making the big deal about the actual act is "the problem" and not too cute. I do not agree with you there. I do not laugh or make a big deal about it, I just move on. I still don't believe a child that passes gas should be sent to detention unless they are being obnoxious. I will tell you though that because my child had a "track record", he got blamed for every incident as if no other child in the class was guilty, and it really kind of ticked me off that my son was being accused, when they really had no proof at all.
how cute!!
bet they were darling...little pit puppies in coats. Mine is black lab/pit mix and she is a rescue, from southern California. We are now in the Tahoe area and she cannot stand the cold (but loves to play in the snow - go figure). She needs a coat and mittens and boots but I could never convince her. Whenever it gets above 55 degrees out, she finds a spot of sun in the backyard and lays out soaking up the rays, probably dreaming of those warm California days gone by.
How cute -
the comedian I saw on Comedy Central who said he found his 6-year-old nephew yelling at his Easter basket. When asked what he was doing, the boy replied, * I'm giving a shout out to my peeps *
How cute! Thanks! nm

Aww, too cute! I just might try that! nm
no message.
Cute! lol

How cute is that?!
Oh my word that is ADORABLE!! I can never get pictures to work
though--somehow a quotation mark always winds up in there that I don't put
in. I looked at the html code too and I don't see them, yet when I try it,
some reason they get put in there. Very frustrating....one last try then I
give up.

How cute is that?
Looks like he has his nails done. Cute!
Cute :)
I haven't done that, but now I think I will!
Sometimes when my husband calls me from his cell phone I make him talk to the cats and their ears perk up when they hear his voice! Only when he calls from inside his car of course, not in public or anything like that! It amazes me that he even does it. He's a big mush like me with the animals.
LOL
That should be cute
that is how my auto correct kicks in, make cute to acute.
he's cute!!
Oh my gosh he is so sweet! He looks totally comfortable in your house! What an awesome dog! Pet him for me would you?
Jan :)
Cute! Thanks
I love the new picture feature.
Oh how CUTE! nm

Oh, he's too cute!
What a sweetie. Good luck with him. My neighbors have a Yorkie, but not a teacup and he's so spunky and adorable.
How cute.
You'll want to keep her on the lean side anyway to optimize her breathing.
Good for you for adopting her.
Now that is just too cute!

My recently adopted kitty, Tinkerbell, loves attacking my feet when I get in bed. Does she care that I'm tired and want to sleep? Nooooooo, because it's all about Tinky! 
Too cute. In the the toy box just like a kid, LOL. nm
