Heh. Squirrel killed by our other dog, who doesn't eat them but prances over their bodies when he manages to get them (they are Archnemesis). Squirrel smorgasbord discovered by Better Half, who shooed off the dog and disposed of carcass.
Disgusting dog now moping in the backyard, both because the rest of his squirrel is gone and because for SOME reason, I refuse to let him into the house.
No, no -- this is a sign of wonderful etiquette! It means that he is observing that Emily Post-ish rule about always leaving something behind on one's plate. Okay, yes, so you prevented him from eating the other half, but someone has to teach that hound some manners ... !
It must be hard, considering how low to the ground he is. I hope you congratulated him and told him how wonderful he was!
Sigh. I *heart* bassett hounds. They're on the list of dogs (with English Bulldogs and beagles) that I really want, even though I know I'll probably just end up with the first one I see at the pound.
OMG, do your homework before you get a bassett. I *hearted* them, too...before I got one. (And yes, I blame the English and also Bloom County.) They are truly, truly disgusting. They drool as much as Saint Bernards, and smell horribly if you do not brush them once a day--I took Truman to the vet because I could smell him across the yard. The vet shrugged and said, "Smells like a healthy bassett to me." The low-to-the-ground thing makes them prone to spinal decay, and they tend to get teeth and gum disease more than a lot of other dogs. Their ears have to be cleaned out every other day (and not some nice little pad, oh no--I mean, get in there and scrub and dig the smelly gunk out) and while loving, they are astoundingly, amazingly stupid

I just read this to my cats, as they were elegantly cleaning their bellies, and they stopped mid-lick completely appalled by the disgustingness of dogs.

He is a hound.
Still gross, though.

You see, he has no brain. (And that was true before the Zombie Apocalypse, actually.)
