Friday Post #2

Good afternoon readers. Today is your lucky day. Because I'm a bit bored today and trying to kill time before mom comes home and takes me to the dog park, I am posting my second blog post of the day. Also, I will probably not post tomorrow because I'll be busy getting my mack on at the dog park. I don't want to leave my readers deprived. You're welcome. (please send thanks in the form of pork ears).

We'll call this post "Fun Fact Friday." While surfing the web this afternoon, I came across some interesting facts about basset hounds. Some true, some blasphemy and some very disturbing. My comments are in red.

• The name, Basset Hound, derives from the word ‘bas’, which means low in French. Many believe this dog is a genetic dwarf and were actually born from other litters of French hounds. Genetic dwarf? When I find out who wrote this I will go over to their house and take a dump in their yard. And there is nothing dwarf size about my poops.
• The temperament of this breed is tranquil. They are well behaved, and have a gentle, devoted disposition. With this type of personality traits they are ideal for family life. The may be laid back but do not confuse it for being timid. They are a bit stubborn but are very loving with their owners and gentle with children. This is true in some cases. I am very well behaved; LuLu is not. Perhaps it is because she is a bastard child, part basset and part bloodhound.
• They are shorthaired and require regular brushing. They do shed constantly and may not be good for allergy suffers. Only shampoo them when really necessary. Dear Mom & Dad, please read the part about only shampooing me when really necessary. I am a victim of being bathed too frequently.
• Basset Hound is short-legged and has heavier bones (considering its size than any other dog. Translation: we are the dominant breed, and every dog should want to be like us.
  
• Bassets have a tendency to get fat because their sad look makes their owners feel bad for them and feed them more than usual. This was probably written by a fat person jealous of my svelte figure.
• They do tend to slobber more than other dogs. My mom loves my slobbery kisses.
• Training the basset hounds is a touchy topic. These dogs need an owner who is willing to have patience and take adequate time to train them. They often choose to listen to their own voice instead of their owner and it is hard to get them to follow commands. This is true. I am the boss, and I do what I want.
• Some are dignified, but most are clownish. Flash = dignified. LuLu= clownish

That's all for Fun Fact Friday Flash lovers. It's getting close to dog park time.
