Mason is very much an indoor dog.  He’d rather hang around indoors whatever the weather than venture off the veranda and explore.  Big Basset prefers to be outdoors always wandering off on his own to check out new smells.  But neither bassets are that fond of rain.

We managed to get most of the way through our walk yesterday with only a minor shower before the real down pour arrived.  Back home a little damp Mason took up his favourite spot on the window seat and gazed longingly outside at the rain coming down in the knowledge that he most definitely was going to be indoors now.  Rain means sheer bliss for this Little Basset.
