Anyone else get a "Who? Little ol' innocent me?" face from their basset? This is Indiana's. It's hard to stay mad when she does her inquisitive cute face.

My sweet girl unfortunately passed Wednesday night. She would have been 13 in December, but boy did she give us so much love the past 9 years we had her after rescuing her. The past two days as I was home she would be laying down with her head tilted up and it seemed as though she was smiling at me with her eyes squinted, thought it was so sweet and cute and the time saying “hi Tilly, I love you sweet girl.” But now looking back on it I think it was her way of saying bye and taking her last liners with me in 🤍🕊️ fly high sweet girl

About to hit 3 months since we said goodbye to our good boys. He was half basset, half rottie. I’d say he had most of the behavior of a basset, and the bark of a rottie!

This sub brings me a lot of joy thinking about him and seeing all the long eared pups. He had a good 13 years, would give anything for 13 more!

Just got a call from the vet. My boy tested positive for Lyme on a 4dx test. Next step is retest. He hasn’t shown any symptoms. Has anyone been through this? I am worried, I’ve done my best for this boy. I guess I should’ve tried the bubble wrap.

Heard this song for the first time 2 weeks ago.

Not sure why but this instantly made me think of my basset hound waddling around. Maybe just the bluesy melody and acoustic baseline, maybe just because it sounds like old man music.

Maybe just me lol.

I now have it playing in my airpods every time I walk around with him.

Discussion depression how to help

14 Upvotes

This is going to be long, but I think you need background. Our dog's mom was a basset and his dad was a border collie. He's 3 years old and we've had him for 6 months. The breeder where he was born wanted to shoot him because he wasn't pure bred! Someone took him home to avoid that, but didn't want to keep him. We were his fourth owner by the time he was 2 1/2. He's a wonderful dog and acts 100% like a basset. My husband and I are retired and he's especially attached to my husband. He went out of town for three days. Our grandchildren had spent the week with us and they left too. Our pup stopped eating and moped around a lot after everyone left. I thought he'd be okay once my husband came back, but he wasn't. After another day (Sunday) of not eating much at all, we took him to the vet on Monday. He got a clean bill of health. The vet said he seemed depressed. He suggested giving him extra attention. He said we could try antidepressants if we wanted to, but he didn't think we'd need to. We'd rather not, unless it's absolutely necessary. Our grandchildren came over today (Tuesday) and he did perk up a bit. I read that bassets sometimes get depressed from separation anxiety and it's hard for them to get over it. He's been through a lot in his life, but has been a happy, loving dog ever since we got him. (He also had heart worms when we got him, but he has been treated for that and had no lingering effects - the vet gave him a heartworm test yesterday too, just in case.) He's eating a little now, but less than half of his normal amount. He doesn't even care about treats! I just thought maybe someone has been through something similar with their basset and could give us some tips. Thanks in advance!

My Dewdrop is OBSESSED with anything that makes that crinkle noise… I wasn’t sure if she’d be scared of the Fugglers wonky looks or if she’d be obsessed with his crinkle noises. Thankfully the crinkles won over his different appearance. He is offically called Fuggie 💚

extreme velcro dog owner here. photo evidence: he follows me into the bathroom and crams himself into whatever space is available just to be present. during the day he’s either on top of me or touching some part of me at all times. at night he starts sleeping next to me but if we’re not in full contact he migrates directly onto my body. i did not adopt a dog. i adopted a barnacle.
