Basset Hound
« on: April 11, 2005, 01:14:54 PM »
We've been telling my daughter for two years that we would be a dog this summer (2005), so last week we started looking in earnest and Saturday we bought one. We got a Basset Hound, five years old, and perfectly tailored for me: he's calm, he doesn't bark, he doesn't jump, he's already house-trained, and he's already crate-trained. You're all welcome to drop by and meet him.

And the best part? We let the kids choose the name, which is why I am now the proud owner of a Basset Hound named Captain America. I have awesome kids.

dude, that rocks hard core. I used to have a basset hound named Grund Doon the Glum. He got his ears stuck in the ketchup when eating leftovers a lot.

If I let my daughter name a dog, she'd name it Cork, because that's what she names everything.

The more I think about this the more it makes me laugh. A dog named Captain America is probably the best thing i've heard all week.

I should get a group of 7 hamsters and call them Death, Desire, Dreams etc...

So does this mean your kids won't be afraid of our dogs anymore?

Of course they will, your dogs are different.

And thus the first shots of the great dog racist wars were fired.

I love the idea of a calm, house-trained dog named Captain America, and I'm really happy for your daughter.

And of all the people I know who I might be able to picture standing at the back door and calling, "Captain America!"  you top the list.

But I just can't get over the idea of your being a dog this summer.

Fuzzy - no fair. I was scrolling down the thread thinking "Surely, surely someone has to have spotted the typo?"
Then a glam of hope dawned - perhaps I would have that privelige?
But no. Never mind, it's still hilarious.

I once knew of a dog named Fudgemuffin. Yeah, beat that.

If I got a dog and named it Steve Erwin would that beat that?

I think getting a dog and naming it steve erwin just to beat someone else's funnily named dog would make you win.

I would get a toy-poodle and name it Steve Irwin. Then I'd move to florida, to a home with a back yard pond near the everglades. Steve Irwin would be an outdoor door.

I think you would all lose, because you can't spell Steve Irwin.
