Aha!
You are no evil personage.
Under implies the presence of cats. You have to have at least one cat to be truly evil.
Sorry.
Sadly in my misspent youth I must admit to grabbing the...well, you know. I had to. It was there and I just...well...The Basset needed a friend to play with.
I have since repented and have lived a pious life filled with Bassetness. I am however, currently Bassetless. Which is to say, sans' Bassete'.
I do however commune with the great Basset spirits. They bring me wisdom. And purity of thought. Yes, there are other dogs, but with a Basset, you get more hound per pound and I'm all about values.
