Walking with the bassets is one of my favourite things to do.  It’s even more pleasurable in a autumnal morning sun.  The dreadful weather we’ve had today has reminded me that basset walking in the next few months is more likely to be under heavy cloud, driving rain and gales that lift the basset ears in ways they would rather not happen.  This picture makes me smile – basset tales upright and big basset looking at himself on the fence.
