We had a basset hound when I was a child. I was about 6 when we got her and I had the honor of naming her. Much to my favorite Aunt Gloria's chagrin, I named the dog after her

Many years later, yet still in the Dark Ages when I was married, we had a chocolate lab, his name was Duke and he was a great dog. Haven't had one since then, though if I lived in the country I would consider getting a Corgi or another hound. I like hounds
