I do believe who ever named "Bas" hit the name right on the head!! He is the dominant one here at home...definately the "BOSS"! No one crosses him...an example: everyone had to wait their turn for water, before I bought a second trough. I swear, sometimes he just stood there playing with the water...blowing bubbles, slurping, gargeling...daring anyone to come for a drink! After a very long time, he S-L-O-W-L-Y walked away. Then everyone rushed forward...he is the "revered" king here. :oD
