Bessy the Bassador

We got a dog from my friend/co-worker shorty after we moved into our house. She is a Bassador (3/4 Basset Hound, 1/4 Labrador). She has short-crazy basset legs, a long body, big floppy ears, and more of a lab face. Because of the lab, her skin isn't as saggy as a basset and she's supposed to be some-what more trainable. She is pretty obedient when we have a treat for her but otherwise ignores us. She has learned a few things though. Maybe it just takes more time. My mom named her Bessy because she has black and white spots like a cow. Funny thing is our back yard shares a fence with a field of cows. She spends most of the day trying to "talk" and make friends with the cows. She is pretty fun and entertaining most of the time.
