Complaints department now open for business.

Well the complaints have been pouring in from far and wide... "Mr Burns, you are lazy!", "Hey Basset, quit goofing around and make a new post!", "You ain't nothing but a hound dog, slacking all the time." And so forth. Well anyway, tomorrow is Canada Day and you can rest assured that there will be many photos taken, and provided that there is not too much Molson's consumed, a sure-fire giganto posting to follow. In the meanwhile, have a wee gander at these select shots.

Madeleine told me to dedicate this super awesome picture to her Uroma who today was the successful recipient of a brand spanking new hip from the good people of the Greater Ottawa Health Authority. This basset wishes her well and knows that she'll be up and about in time for the family visit at the end of the month.
One small step for a Baby M, one giant leap for mankind.

This is how kind I am. You see, I know that most people really want to see the Baby M, so I am quite content to place myself in the background, the far background and let Little Miss Sunshine get all the glory she is rightfully due.

Father's Day

Sunday of course was Father's Day and what a day it was. One of the highlights was going for scones and tea at the London Farm. No reservation, no problemo!
Proud papa!

Proud Pa(w)
Even though it was Father's Day, Baby M had love to go all around. For Nana,

And even had a big smooch for yours truly.

Warning!!!!!!!

Beware!! The following dog blog posting contains a ridiculous amount of Baby M cuteness. Those who do not heed this notice may never be quite the same, having seen an overwhelming amount of cuteness. I'm not kidding. I'm quite serious. If you don't think that you can handle extreme cuteness, do not continue. No basset hound will be held responsible if you ignore this disclaimer. Once you scroll down, there is no turning back...

This is your final chance, consider yourself duly warned.

Behold, cuteness that need no descriptions!

How to beat the summer heat, part two

"Hey Mr Burns, get in here really tight, because I'm only going to say this once. It's hot and I want to go to the waterpark!"
Well, in case you haven't figured it out by now (and have obviously been living under a rock), what Madeleine says, goes. So off to the multi-million dollar water park we went.
Now as you can see, millions of dollars don't buy what it used to.
Here is Madeleine cooking up a scheme to snatch those Baby Mum Mum from Dad's pocket.
Here is Baby M enjoying the working waterpark.
Unfortunately, about 15 minutes after our arrival, the darn thing went kaput, leaving a run for McDonald's shakes as the only respite. Again, a million samolians don't get you much these days.

The Cuteness that is Baby M

Sneak Peak!!!

Why is Baby M so happy? Well it's simple you see, a character based on her is to be featured in a forthcoming publication. It is going to be huge. I don't want to over-hype it, but rumour has it that the publishing house has ordered the printing of more copies than all seven of the Harry Potter books, combined. The project is super top secret but this humble basset has managed to sneak out a teaser. Read on to find out more, no skipping ahead!!!!
The family celebrated by dragging me out in the heat and forcing me to pose for yet more family portraits.
Back home, Baby M was logging on to the dog blog all day in hopes of catching a glimpse of the new publication. Patience is a virtue my dear.
Well enough with the building of the anticipation, here is a page from the new comic The Many Zany Exploits of Mr Burns and Baby M. Click on the image and you hopefully will get it in its full-sized glory!
Madeleine was so happy that she went for a wee swing.

Keeping it cool in the summer heat
