Basil is my next door neighbor. He’s the ‘brother’ of my cat’s boyfriend, Jasper. You always feel loved around Basil because he wags his tail like mad when he sees you. Sometimes he comes around to run in my fenced back yard. It’s hilarious when he tears around in big circles biting at grass without breaking stride, and making little breathing noises in time to his footbeats.
Sometimes Jasper visits at the same time. Then I’m sometimes treated to seeing the two of them play together. Here’s a photo I took last week. They had been tussling, mostly with the cat on his back and Basil biting at Jasper’s back legs. Jasper had tired of that and was warding Basil off.
Love those big ears. Looks like he could take flight if he built up enough velocity on those runs.
We also affectionately call him Basilbub for his devilishly funny behavior!
