Speaking of our friend Peter…….
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Long ears lovers! In the previous blog posting you will learn who Peter is and see his sweet frame donations. This blog posting is about measuring basset hound ears. Peter read the posting where I measured the Mayor’s ears and he decided to see how his basset hound named Monty measured up with ear length! Keep in mind that Monty is a pup, and will have a final measurement in months to come.
Currently he weighs in at 7 and 1/2” long. I had to laugh when I saw this picture!
Peter is getting ready to measure Monty and Tigger, Monty’s sister is not having anything to do with it. The look on her face says it all! Keep that thing away from me! Just too funny.
Monty is not too thrilled with it either!
“GET ME THE BLEEP OUT OF HERE!”
Did someone say treat? Maybe, just maybe, I might tolerate a brief measurement!
I was laughing so hard I cried. Oh the indignity of it all!
Come on residents, if Monty can suffer through it so can you! I think we need to knock Mr. Jeffries out of the box!
How long is 29.2cm anyway?
I think basset hound town could beat him, no matter how long his are. At least I want to try to find the hound with the longest ears. I wonder how they did the measurement?
More searching later………Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
P.S. I have a feeling that Hermey at House of Puddles will be a serious contender!
Marilyn?

Hermey’s measured 11″, but he says to tell Monty that size doesn’t matter. 🙂
Becky and Lilly say that size DOES matter! 🙂
ROFLMBO! In this contest, size does matter and Hermey is in the front running! However, we need a picture to confirm it! LOL
I’m never going to get a measurement on Sophie. The other day she stole the measuring tape. Today, whenever I try, Nell gets between me and Sophie as if to say “hey lady, this is my basset hound and I don’t like what you’re up to”.
Nell’s ears are two different lengths, and one has a huge slit in it (she was hurt badly before we rescued her). Measuring her Sussex ear (without the fur) would never come close to 11 inches! I will attempt one more Sophie measuring later.
I bet Monty would love to prove otherwise at a play date with Becky, Lilly, Sophie & Nell! We were in Pet Smart today and he was hit with all the dogs…boys and girls!
Becky loves to play; Lilly just flirts with boy dogs (she’s a hussy). Lilly’s ears are extremely long for her size but she’s so small they aren’t going to come anywhere near 11″. Proportionately they are extra-long though! And lots of slits and tears, she’s fighter.
I know I’m going to need help for this activity, so I will see if I can get one of my neighbors to assist.
My Otis went for the guiness book of world records for longest ears. He won that year at the Boardwaddle but a dog in germany beat Otis. Otis’s one ear was 11 3/4″ and his other ear was 12 1/2″. No wonder he leaned to one side. Boy I miss that boy!
