Fred Basset by Alex Graham for November 21, 2023

Baying basset. Great sound. I miss it.

Correct! EVERYONE knows Basset don’t bark. They either bay, as in the long sound they make when tracking, or they boof as in the short sound they make as opposed to the bark made by other dogs or the yaps of terriers. The Dears need to listen better.

Oh, great :-D lots of new terms for me to learn today & yesterday!

If Yorky was with them, he would be yipping. I once referred to Jock and Yorky as “Jock the Yapper and the Yorkshire Yipper”.

Tis a Dog Thing ….

Leave the poor kitty alone.

Pfisssst! Meowrrrrrr!

Dogs gonna dog.

Hounds can also bugle; my coonhound does it all the time.

Blended, it becomes barking.

Had to giggle baying…

Two of our three shelties would howl, wolf-like. And our neighbor’s Basenji would yodel.

You tell them …… Fred …… :)

As Katherine Hepburn would say, “Watch yer language!” (In Downeaster, her “your” sounded like “yer”.)
