But if you are really into canine lethargy, get a St. Bernard. Or a Neapolitan mastiff. Even bigger. VERY sinister-looking, gunmetal grey, huge heads. All they do is sleep. This is not a criticism. I'm no different. Well, okay, my head's a normal size...

I liked the dog too. I used to do him. So to speak. Try it. It's satisfying. I like Bassets too, but the one Lolly had smelled like a Bombay alley. Could barely stand him in the house; so they threw me out.

Bassetts. We had two folks at work who owned Bassettss. Salient Fact #1 was that these folks had vet bills like Imelda had Nordies remittances. Big league. Salient fact #2 is that they helped dispel the myth of the Cute Hound with No Legs. Bassetts, like other large reptiles, have two basic states of being wired into their spare little ganglia: Coma and Rage. Get a Bassett p.o'd and it gets mean. Pitbull mean. And loud. There is a folded acoustic transducer, like a trombone or those Freon instruments of stadium team spirit, inside there and it makes three or four passes in that body. When the shock front finally makes free air, the blast will break windows, stun cats into a meal a legless dog can dig, and cripple electronic fuel management systems.
