Ears to you babe

Shakespeare described the Basset Hound with the following poetic image: "Ears which sweep away the morning due."
A basset hound living in the central German town of Fulda has made it into the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest ears in the world, measuring 33.2 cm. One-year-old Jack's ears are so long that he sometimes trips over them and has a hard time keeping them off the ground.

Cowboy's ears aren't nearly this long but we still intend to enter him into the longest ear contest next weekend at the Arcadia Basset Hound Picnic just to have the official measurement. He'll also be a contestent in best howl, waggiest tail, most spots and largest package. HAHA just kidding about that last one, but we know he'd stand a chance if they had it.
