Groundhog Day 2009

In honor of a fellow animal on his big day I dedicate this schtik to Punxsutawney Phil.

When my first photo (over there on the left) appeared on the Internet there was a rousing debate exactly what had mom Zinger wrought?

People were saying I was a mole or a white rat and even a groundhog but then they were slaves and what do they know about noble personages as bassets.

I had my slave publish these pics taken on Groundhog Day 2009 to show I have grown up to be a regal basset who has set new standards in the the Science Of Sleeptology.
