The Secret Lives of Show Dogs

 What drives him nuts: Seeing other dogs walk past his yard. That's when the barking commences! 

 Sleeping spot: A chair covered with a sheet and a soft fleece pad. Basil doesn't mind the sheet, but every morning the fleece pad is on the floor.

Typical pre-dog show day:
Wakes up at 6 a.m., and goes outside to bark at dogs and people on the street. Comes inside to see if Tsavo needs a reminder about who's the boss. Breakfast eat as fast as possible! When it's bath time, he hides near the desk in an attempt to blend in. After a 45-minute bath and blow-dry, he goes to work with Susan, then comes home and sees if Tsavo needs another reminder about who's the boss. Dinner time eat as fast as possible. He sits at Susan's feet during her dinner, trying to make eye contact in hopes of a morsel. Then it's time for a walk. When he comes in, he reminds Tsavo about who's the boss one more time, then jumps in his favorite sleeping chair, removes the fleece pad, then goes to sleep.
