Basset Hounds for You

Larry is 4, and typically a really sweet boy. But tonight he was whining like he needed to go out and he was upstairs on his bean bag so I opened the door for him to go downstairs and outside but he didn’t move. So I dumped him out of the bean bag (it’s 2 am) I do this to him all the time and he doesn’t mind. It’s just like giving him a boost to get moving. Anyway, we go downstairs, and he goes out. Cool. Cool. Cool. When he comes back inside I put him in his bed downstairs and when I got to put his cover on as we always do he snaps loudly. I immediately drop everything and give him space and go back upstairs. I know every dog has his day. But has your basset ever snapped at you?

edit: I wish I could change the typo in the title omg
