Is she missing an eye or was she just swollen from an injury?
The belly rub makes me miss my old basset hound, Fred. Our morning ritual was to rub his belly with my foot as I would make my breakfast before work. He was such a sweet dog. Now I just have the two brats that won't die...
If you need a basset fix..... this is from a birthday party we had for my basset Forrest when he was 3. Actually a friend was the host. lol.
