dogdaze

I work very late some nights but I can always count on one thing when I get home — my bassets will meet me at the gate.

My husband and children are usually already in bed when I get home so it’s great to have my bassets greet me. It doesn’t matter what time it is, they are there with their tails wagging and happy barks.

As a reward for their loyalty, I try to have some type of special treat for them in my car. Sometimes it’s my leftover dinner, a piece of hard candy, a cookie or a dog treat. I always make sure to have enough to go around because the “welcome home canine committee” is growing.

At first it was just Snoopy who greeted me at the gate. Then Turner and Queenie, his litter mates, joined him. Now even Little Joe, who is not little at all, has wised up and runs to greet me when I get home.

It’s really cute to see the stampede of bassets rush to the gate almost as if racing for the prize. So no matter how late I work or how tired I am when I get home, I have something to look forward to every day and night — my sweet, adorable bassets.
