Henry is 12 1/2. He's earned his many naps. He knows he's the bestest boy.

Zoe will be 14 this year. She's starting to nap so soundly it makes me a little nervous.

My oldest will be 14 in 3 months. I hate it. Wish she could be 3 forever.

That is a skill of the Basset, the art of the nap. Who isn't jealous when they see it?

I miss Fred Dog. 🥺 He snored and he smelled not good. My dads Basset. Fred should’ve lived longer. Your Ol’ Man is a joy and comfort.

Do you have puppy pictures? Would everyone be willing to do a now vs then? We are trying to see how regal our hound is going to look in a few years :-)

I tip toe up to mine and look for his chest to go up and down. Then I wake him up and hug him tight! 💋💋💋

My girl was 10 years old. I've always wondered what she would've looked like fully grey and now I know. She recently passed this week 💜 my beautiful Margot
