Meet Detective Barnaby - our Basset Hound this is his blog his family his discovering from puppy hood to adult lets see what he finds.
Only six months old and already on the investigation.
This is Barnaby, our Basset pup. We took him in when many didn't want him because he has a slightly bad eye. He has been with us a couple days and has already proven to be very smart, and oh so very much still a puppy. He can actually see really well, it is really more of a cosmetic thing, he has one blue eye and one brown eye (the brown eye is the one that got injured leaving a scar on the surface that you can see, but that only mildly affects his vision). A wonderful loving addition to our family. This is his blog, it will have posts and pics of his fun loving antics and growth. Also, it will have posts of our adult Cocker Spaniel Sandy and our senior, and very loving, Black and Tan Coonhound Tipper. Other posts will include articles about pets, treat recipes, products we like, links and more. We hope you will come by and see what investigation and detective story is next for this pup.
Happy Birthday Barnaby December 2012
I just turned 1 years old howls of joy!!!!!!!! birthday party hats and Christmas go together for my 1 year celebration. I got so excited while mom decorated the tree I jumped right over the gate and on the tree table I am sooooo much bigger now hehehehehehe, Mom caught the tree just in time before it fully crashed to the floor I thought on the floor would be a lot of fun for us all, wouldn't you have loved playing with ornaments and gifts and such? Mom seemed to think it would be to dangerous i just do not get her sometimes.

Basset Poem
What is a Basset Hound?
He looks so old to be so young, so sad to be so gay, This Basset Hound with wrinkled brow is in my heart to stay. With four short legs and happy tail and ears that drag the ground, With a crazy habit all his own of sleeping upside down. He gives love in abundance, enough for me to share, With all the neighbors on the block and much, much more to spare. His dress is quite peculiar, I’m sure that you’d surmise, He wears a very elegant coat but it must be twice his size. Twice usual size, inside his chest, is a heart that’s made of gold, God must have been in a jovial mood when He made the Basset mold. He’s quite a clown by nature, in looks and actions too, He cheers you up when you are down and loves you when you’re blue. And when you’re ready for a romp, he’s always there to play, This funny guy with wrinkled brow is in my heart to stay.

Basset Rules
1) If I like it, it's mine
2) If it's in my mouth, it's mine
3) If I can take it from you, it's mine
4) If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
5) If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way
6) If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine
7) If it just looks like mine, it's mine
8) If I saw it first, it's mine
9) If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine
