Basset hibernation

livelaughbarkblog 5 Comments

So it’s that time of year again when the great Basset Hound hibernation rituals begin, normally when the temperature dips anywhere below 50!!


One such ritual involves looking extra pathetic and whimpering ever so slightly until mom gives up her blanket to cover you up, normally done just after a chilly potty trip.


Ritual two occurs at bedtime and involves refusal to lay down until mom gets out your blankets, then you borrow underneath for maximum warmth during the night. 

Both rituals are equally important and when well executed cements your spoiled rotten status.

Side note from mom: both rituals also increase normal basset stubbornness when getting up is necessary. 

My little leaf…🍁

Colorful leaf that represent fall

First on my ear, then on my paw

Mom took a picture, she said it was sweet

Plus I think she likes to tickle my feet!

She gently removed it to keep in a book

My little leaf that my mom took.
Side note: this is me & mom’s first try at a little rhyme. We hope you like it!! No leaves were harmed while making this blog. 🍂

Mom: Come on Miss Lilly time to get up and go potty and have breakfast.

Miss Lilly: Get serious mom…


Mom: come on time to go potty…don’t you want a treat? 

Me: good one mom, I’m not falling for the treat bribe…


Mom: fine lay there and be stubborn then.

Me: thanks, that was my plan! 

Miss Lilly defines the term stubborn basset that’s for sure!! Side note: exactly five minutes after I gave up trying to get her to move she decided to saunter out to the kitchen just to make sure there were no treats laying around!
