I haven’t been posting much the past week; first I was out of town for Christmas, and when I arrived home I promptly came down with a head cold. Thankfully it wasn’t the flu, but I haven’t felt like doing much of anything, so today’s irresistible episode of California’s Gold is like a bit of comfort food for anyone else who, like me, isn’t having the greatest start to the new year. Enjoy, and just try not to smile at these wonderful bassett hounds!

Huell goes to the 1997 Basset Hound Picnic, sponsored by the Basset Hound Club of So. Cal. Watch as the hounds are judged on longest ears, best howl, and saddest face.
