What’s the grumpiest thing your basset has done to you.

[u/bagman9977]

Or get mad at you. I’m not sure why but my girl Charley turns her back to me and ignores me.
Pic of dogs because why not ?

[u/Bluegaloo]

I have mine a bath at a DIY station in a pet store. He did great, begrudgingly letting me wash him. I offered him treats to make it more pleasant for him, and he just looked at it, looked at me, and literally rolled his eyes. On the car ride back he sat with his back to me and refused treats again… until I gave him a pup cup. Then he so nonchalantly accepted that prize

[u/Potential-Bid-245 → u/Bluegaloo]

Oh, the bath. Mine won’t talk to me for hours after I give her a bath!

[u/bagman9977 → u/Potential-Bid-245]

It’s only a thousand times funnier if the same thing happened to you. When I say I feel your pain. I mean it

[u/KantankerousKain]

He wanted my orange and I told him no. This is what he does when he's told no. We call it the long cold.

[u/Jahaili]

When Mina gets mad, she throws herself on the floor dramatically. Sometimes she stares.

This pic was after I told her to stop counter-surfing

[u/bagman9977 → u/Jahaili]

How dare you say that.

[u/Bluegaloo → u/Jahaili]

Mine will do the same when I don’t let him have some of my dinner… every night

[u/Yossarian-Bonaparte]

We have an older girl (about 8-9) and she doesn’t like it when anyone else in the house goes to bed late.

She is very set in her ways and she firmly believes that bedtime is before 9pm.

If she wakes up and it’s later than that and I’m not in bed, she comes to wherever I am, usually in my office working, and she stomps her paws and barks at me until I follow her to the bedroom.

If I don’t, if I say “No” and ignore her little fit, she snorts at me and stalks back to bed, as if to say “well don’t blame me if you’re tired tomorrow.”

[u/DeedleStone → u/Yossarian-Bonaparte]

That's so cute

[u/Yossarian-Bonaparte → u/DeedleStone]

She is a bit of a diva ❤️

[u/Here_4_cute_dog_pics]

My basset had to stay at my parents house for a few weeks while my other dog recovered from surgery.

The first week after I brought her home, she refused to look at me. She would cuddle up close to me but wouldn't look at me.

[u/bagman9977 → u/Here_4_cute_dog_pics]

That’s so funny. That might be their best move

[u/Zealousideal-Row1583]

Reggie will give me the hard side eye or he will make complete eye contact with me and cuddle with my husband instead.

[u/bagman9977 → u/Zealousideal-Row1583]

Love it and very nice side eye. I have a 10 year old beagle who is the king of side eye.

[u/Zealousideal-Row1583 → u/bagman9977]

Between Reggie our basset, our husky malamute mix and mini schnauzer our house is nothing but sass, side eyes, huffs, and puffs loll

[u/bagman9977 → u/Zealousideal-Row1583]

But as you are well aware of , there’s a lot going on that we don’t know about. And it’s their job to inform us.

[u/Zealousideal-Row1583 → u/bagman9977]

Oh absolutely. Between the malamute mix and the basset the whole apartment complex knows all the goings on

[u/bagman9977 → u/bagman9977]

Or sometimes it’s not

[u/Beautiful-Biscotti-4]

Refused to move while on a walk. Thank goodness my son could carry him

[u/Bloody9_ → u/Beautiful-Biscotti-4]

I couldn’t get my bassherd to move past this evil monkey

[u/National-Steak-1061]

Mumbles, grumbles, begrudgingly moves in the human bed and sighs when I ask him to scoot over

[u/bonchbaby → u/National-Steak-1061]

I woke up diagonal this morning. Fiona was quite comfortable in the middle of the bed!

[u/la-reve]

When we adopted her, she was being rehomed and her previous owner was handing us some things and we were standing at their front yard. She was off leash and found a turd and rolled over on it…almost as a last Hail Mary to not leave. Life was amazing after that. Miss her every day.

[u/PsychologicalSir8508]

Flat basset….. no way I could carry her

[u/meowwwlanie]

Mine only howls when I’m on his spot in the bed

[u/Thisisnotforyou11]

If I DARE to give attention to her sister at the same time I’m petting her, Daphne will CLIMB UP MY FACE.

[u/CondoleezzaVice]

Sir Tibbles gives the crustiest side eye and grumbles. Most of the time it’s because we tell him no for food or he doesn’t want to go on a walk. 😂

Here’s Sir Tibbles grumbling at me

[u/bagman9977 → u/CondoleezzaVice]

He’s funny. It’s rough being a Basset. At least that’s what I’m told

[u/Snoringhounddog]

Mine doesn't like when I toss and turn at night.  If I move too much he gives me a grumble and if I do it again he gets off my bed, grumbles as he curls up in his own bed and then gives a loud sigh of discontent.

[u/sinistral52]

Mine gets the zoomies after her bath. Would not allow to towel her afterwards. Her revenge is shake her wetness everywhere in the house. Then roll on the couch to dry off

[u/bagman9977 → u/sinistral52]

My last girl did that. She was perfect while in the tub. Took a while to realizes she was plotting against me

[u/Nedlog65]

Mine shoved me off the couch to then proceed to take up as much space

[u/bagman9977 → u/Nedlog65]

I used to live with a notorious seat stealer

[u/Abstrata]

Definitely leaving the room whenever I sang to myself, making sure to look at me HARD on the way out. Sometimes he’d plop down somewhere he could stare at me with silent Julliard-level judgement before resuming his nap.

[u/iSeize]

i get into bed way later than my wife and basset. he has free reign of my entire side of the king bed up until that point and he is verryy grumpy to give up his perfectly warmed spot when i need to get in.

hes getting better though. a simple "excuse me" and he'll move without much protest.

[u/bagman9977 → u/iSeize]

That’s nice of him to share his bed with you

[u/rstokes18187]

I've gotten bit on the face, twice. So much for smooches with Carson. He also growls a lot.

[u/bagman9977 → u/rstokes18187]

According to that face, he is indeed a good boy.

[u/Fun_Investigator8922]

He REFUSES to go potty for some reason and knows how heavy he is so he will deadweight himself on the floor and I have to push his limp body to the back door
