Tank, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tank
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Basset Hound
Home: Kulpmont, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   This is my nephew, Tank. He is my sister's dog and I think that he's wonderful. Tank is the father of my two Basset Hounds, Diesel and Payton. Whenever his Mom and Poppy come over he comes along to play with his sons. Tank's daughter (Casey) lives with one of our friends so we like to get them together for play dates... usually once or twice a week.

    Tank is a very picky eater. His food is always down and full but instead of eating a lot at once he nibbles throughout the day. A lot of people that see him think that he is underweight but they are wrong. According to the vet that's just his build. Tank is very long and is thin behind his ribs... that's one of the many shapes of Bassets. Both of his sons have different builds as well... Diesel has a short body (in length) and is thicker in his mid-section so he appears to be chunky, although he isn't. His shape is more like his mother's. Payton on the other hand has a build sort of like Tank's but isn't as long or as thin... a happy medium.

    Tank just got a new baby brother. His name is Bo and he is an eight-week-old Rottweiler. Right now Tank kind of bullies him although he never hurts him... however I don't think the bullying will last long! Bo will out grow him in a couple of months. Tank is trying really hard to be a good big brother considering he's always been the center of his mommy's attention and now he has to share.

    We all love Tank very much and if you've ever met him you could tell just how spoiled he really is.
