How big is the ears on that dog

That one is plastic, but I use to have two basset hounds. Their ears would almost drag the ground. They were bred that way. They are close kin to a bloodhound and are used for tracking. The short legs put them close to the ground. When the nose is down near the ground sniffing the ears lay forward creating a small pocket around the snout. That helps to catch the scent and concentrate it around the nose. Seriously, that is why they were bred for that trait. A full grown basset is quite a bit larger than that model.

I've seen some with callouses on their ears from dragging them around all the time.

Plus they have funny barks. We have a beagle that's somewhat similar in makeup, but a bit more 'athletic.'

That's Cafesp's dream dog! and I used to have 2 of them, one missing!

We used to have a German Shepherd (pure breed) when lived in a bigger house, next Xmas " All I want for Xmas is a Basset Hound "!
A real one likes our real toys!

Had to laugh a little bit at this one. My beagle (who is nearly 16) sleeps about 22 hours per day. She does have a funny bark though.

My used QuickMill Anita arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Gah! You're all making me want to dig out my digital camera and take a picture of my setup!

Figure the picture will be coming in the near-ish future, but here's the text version:

Bezzera BZ99* (pourover), Mazzer Mini

*Otherwise known as the Bezzera that drives me nuts with some regularity, but that makes great espresso anyway.

I'm a student who started off with a Gaggia setup and just dumped money into making good coffee... I claim it's cheaper than a crack habit.

My little current setup.

Thanks for the tip on the cart. My wife and I will probably get one of these when we have the spare cash. They still have it at $200 so hopefully the price will hold because I'm seeing similar sized carts for over $300 everywhere else.
