lowdogs have a nightly routine. As soon as we go to turn off lights around the house, they know it's "nightie night time" and they they must (1) go outside to "go potty!", (2) come inside for cottage cheese [see previous story about Miss Molly's acid reflux], (3) go upstairs to the bedroom, (4) receive a small cookie treat, (5) get into their dog beds, and (6) quiet time.
And, they do this like clockwork. It's as if they're circus performers who have practiced endlessly and perform perfectly every night.
However, periodically Big D will throw the routine off. He will suddenly remember that he has to send an email, or rebuild a motorcycle engine, and he doesn't come to bed with everyone else.
lowdogs can't handle that. So, they wait and wait and wait for him. I have to shout through the door, "Open carefully or you'll hit a snout!". As soon as he comes in, they can get into their beds, but not a second before.
God help us all if he's an hour late, because they will wait like this until...until...until...
Molly in particular is in love with her Daddy and will pine for him until the end of time.This is what makes me think that in some cases, your soulmate isn't always a human. Hunh.

Oh my this sounds familiar. Sola can relate :)
I just found your blog today—I LOVE your bassets. I cannot imagine life without them. I told my grandkids that bassets are really princesses and princes in a hairy form and we have to be especially good to them.
Yes bassets do love their routine - really you have to get these humans in order!
Our last basset Harry would get very annoyed if we stayed up past his bedtime.

Sounds like Chief and Yeti... twins, separated at birth. I guess that also makes me think your soulmate isn't always of the other sex...
Awwwww, so adorably loyal! I can caninely emphathize
