Ralph

This is Ralph.

Ralph is your typical Basset Hound in many ways...

Adorable, content to just laze around,

and, um, short, with really long ears.

But Ralph also happens to be very shy.

Every so often he comes around though, and when he does, his eyes just make my heart melt. Or maybe it's the ears. Or his wet, black nose.

At any rate, when he looks at me like this, I want to dognap him and take him home with me. But then I realize that his parents probably wouldn't like that too much and he would miss them anyway. So I don't dognap him, but I think you could understand why I would want to...right? Right? I mean, really, who can resist a look like this?

Resistance is Futile

This is Lucy. She also goes by Lola. The handsome fella behind her is Tucker.

Hi Tucktuck.

Being basset hounds, these two seem to have a natural gift for being very effective beggars. Something about their big brown eyes and their long, soft ears. It's hard not to cave, it really is. It might be bordering on impossible.

And they always seem to be around to catch any wayward scraps that you may or may not have accidentally dropped.

Hope springs eternal, eh Lucy?
