If you have a dog and a cat I have a feeling you have dealt with this yourself. Haven’t you? Coraline has taken to perching herself on the furniture and taking swipes at Frances.

Poor cat doesn’t even realize Frances is just biding her time.

Once again I have designed the ABC Basset Rescue shirt for this year’s Fall Picnic.
If you like, you should buy. Support Basset Rescue!

So ever since announcing the Saturday Scribbles I’ve done what? 2, maybe 3 on time. Maybe?

Anyway, one of the big reasons is the prep work going into the new comic. The other reason is I am getting a piece together for the BROOD Ramble this year. Unlike my usual entries for their fundraisers this time I decided I really needed to add color to this year’s drawing (not pictured above). What is pictured above is one of my first..studies? Basically I need to teach myself how to color with something besides Photoshop, my crutch. I’ve decided on the cartoonist standby, watercolor. I’m getting better. I’ll let you decide for yourselves. As I do more studies/tests I’ll post them for you to see until I show you the actual piece that will be up for auction.

So this morning my alarm decided not to go off, at all. I had an hour and a half late start to the day so I have to skip doing a sketch this morning. Luckily I’ve got plenty of drawings laying around like this one. This little fella was drawn as a possibility for the Make-Your-Own option of the Metal for Monsters fundraiser (sans color). Since I’m probably not going to end up using him as my final choice he gets a second chance by saving my bacon today.

Mmmm, bacon (yeah, I skipped breakfast, too).

Today’s Pic of the Week is a beautiful basset by the name of Charlotte. Turns out she was adopted from the same rescue group I got Frances from, BROOD.

Caption away.

Sorry for the disappearing act on Friday. I had the sketch and post ready but WordPress locked me out. However, I am now back up and running and it is time for the Pic of the Week. Today’s pic features Harley with an unnamed pink bundle of joy. An excellent choice for the holidays.

Speaking of holidays, I am on one for the next 2 weeks. I will continue to post but I am not sure of the when or how often. But let’s face it we all should be focusing on food and family right now so I won’t sweat it if you don’t. But be sure to be back here January 5th. I’m going to have a little somethin’-somethin’ for you.

Today we have the obviously enthused, Emma, coming to us bassethoundtown.com (we saw her brother Chaps just a little while ago). Let’s show this little lady some caption love and see if we can’t wake her up.
