Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and taken a back lovers….
We were out with the kids today in our yard and a few neighbors happened by. We were talking about our yards, flowers, and the hounds. Someone asked howl old Chaps was and my Mom said, “he is going to be 70 this year.” I just looked at her so funny.
She said. “I like referring to hounds as their real age, not their dog age.”
It just took me off guard. 10 sounds old, but 70 sounds a lot older.
I am glad I had sunglasses on because I teared up a bit. 70 years old? Where does the time go?
More real ages later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

He doesn’t look old:) He looks dignified:)
He does look dignified! It totally agree. So wise!
He is such a “Hot Dog” my Miss Rileys thinks:)
If we could only make time stand still……
I think the “real” ages for dogs needs to be adjusted. Rugs is 11 and the healthiest happiest most active one I have.
I agree about Chaps. He does look very wise!
Just like Good cheese,He gets better with age. LOL Ken
Chaps is young in spirit. He takes care of himself, he’s very active and he makes sure he gets plenty of treats, walks, pets, and belly rubs.
