Peabody Sam .. a.k.a. Puppy
This is our crazy little dog. We rescued him because our big dog was lonely and he was sooo cute .. well, what we didn't know was he chews EVERYTHING. Likes to de-stuff furniture. Likes to fight. Barks .. a lot. the aggression thing was getting pretty out of hand, so we "fixed" him. His meanness has faded .. but that's about it. He still barks his little dog ass off, chews everything, breaks every rule .. but we love him, he is part of our family.
Usually, I can't for the life of me get a picture of him .. he won't stay still.
This precious moment was recorded when I came home from work one day, one day it had been raining buckets, to find my wild beasts had continued - in the rain- to hunt a gopher. They usually won't go out in the rain, but today!! Oh, today was DIFFERENT!! There was mud everywhere .. the back corner of the yard looked like a pond, the had not just dug holes, but tunnels big enough for the bassett to disappear from vision. Anyhow, the gopher was caught, the rain has stopped, the trenches have been buried ..
this makes me dizzy ..
oh mama!! let me kiss you and get my muddy mess all over your work clothes!!
but seriously .. how could you not love this wily little beast
