I just thought I would share some recent pictures of our basset hound, Boris. Now almost 8 months old and an absolute joy to be around. After a long day at work, nothing beats coming home to his sweet face with those beautiful eyes and floppy ears. He welcomes us home with a little dance…
Boris the Basset Hound
It’s time to talk about Boris
I'm referring, of course, to Boris the Basset...and not any other Boris there may have been in the news of late. People outside the UK might not know who I am referring to, in which case I mean Boris Johnson, one of the leading campaigners in the vote to exit from the EU. Anyway, back…
The hobbies of a hound dog
Boris the basset is now just over six months old - I can hardly believe it. He is such a wonderful dog with a lovely temperament and, for a young basset, incredibly well behaved.

He is very playful and can happily content himself running around the garden dragging his furry raccoon behind him. It is actually meant to be a cushion for him to rest…
Basset on the Beach
Boris the Basset stops for a pose. His expression might be sad but the sand encrusted ears give him away - he's been happily frolicking on the beach and enjoying the scents on the seashore. What I love most in this picture are his incredibly long whiskers kissed by the evening sunlight.
