At 9-1/2 inches, Fiona has lovely long bassety ears.
This photo was turned into the cover for the 2011 Daily Drool Basset-a-Day desk calendar.
Today we went to the vet because her lovely ears are not well. They’ve been not well on many occasions, but that is a different Slice. Here is a short poem about her long ears.
Fiona’s Ears
Long velvety
pendulous ears
dragging on the ground
whipping up scents,
dipping into the water bowl
while you devour your kibble.
You are patient
while I clean inside
those lovely lobes,
though you’d rather be napping.
