What Bassests do!!!

Roxie Roxie, we love her but she has a very strong genetic need to search and seek food. As much as we love her this is quite annoying especially when you are in the kitchen trying to feed 4 hyper hungry children. Need I say more? We are tyring to redirect her behavior on this matter as our table has become Roxie's favorite searching grounds. This is even when we have no food for her to find. Another behavior that I find quite interesting of my dear bassett Roxie is her need to dig into my area rugs. She does not really hurt them but digs into them with her paws then throws herself down. This lasts for about 20 minutes then she once again proceeds to do the same on a different spot on the carpet. Hmmm!!!! Wonder if this too can be broken. Stay tuned I will keep you posted if Roxie trains us or we train Roxie.
