Took me a while to find ya. Nice blog! I have a Golden buddy across the street -- his name is Brooks. He's a great guy but kind of a knucklehead -- when his Daddy throws tennis balls at him, he brings them back. Later-- Jean-Luc (I'm not letting Nigel have the computer today.) Yo, Beau!

I myself hold the title of 'Best in House', which I win every year round about the time that Crufts is on. My Person thinks that it keeps me happy because I am envious of the younger dogs on the TV. Pah! Celebrity-mad over-groomed pretenders, I say! I win 'Best in House' because I am. Hamble x Dear General Beauregarde,

How nice it is to be Most Important! I myself hold the title of ‘Best in House’, which I win every year round about the time that Crufts is on. My Person thinks that it keeps me happy because I am envious of the younger dogs on the TV. Pah! Celebrity-mad over-groomed pretenders, I say! I win ‘Best in House’ because I am.

We have met on several occasions, and even romped a little (although this is considered somewhat undignified in Basset circles, I believe). Good luck with your blog. Hello General Beauregarde,

My name is Hamble and I am a Golden Retriever of Advanced Years. We have met on several occasions, and even romped a little (although this is considered somewhat undignified in Basset circles, I believe). Good luck with your blog.
