Bro is a basset hound mix! Your dog is so cute!!!

Thanks! Bro is adorable - looks like he got the basset nose.

That's a majestic hound.

He looks very regal at times. In other moments, he’s a clown. So, a classic basset hound.

Awww, we used to have the most adorable and loyal basset hound when I was a child.

Then we had another one much later who was absolutely insane 😆

Roscoe is definitely the former, thank goodness. His sister is a little more rambunctious, but still wonderful.

You're right, we do love pictures of Basset hounds :) and springers of course

davidwrites1.bsky.social•221 days ago

That’s a very cute double-ducked springer!

I see your Basset and raise you a Bull Terrier.

davidwrites1.bsky.social•221 days ago

And yours can read upside down - impressive! And cute.

Thanks! Your Basset is cute, too. ❤️

Solid pick, my man! I need to get my dogs and my kindle ... Think that'll work?!!

Wait until they’re sleepy?

She's 1½ ... Her only settings are "terrorising Uncle BigBrother", "Beg for food", "Beg for couch time and love" and "zoomies until the fence breaks".

The book is Margot Livesey’s excellent collection of essays on the craft of writing (and reading) called The Hidden Machinery. The dog is Roscoe, an excellent hound who is expert at the craft of napping and following scents. Both are lovely. One of them can be yours at https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-machinery-essays-on-writing-margot-livesey/6590571?ean=9781941040683
