[Dailydrool] Sending out Houndsbay items

[rebecca stanton]

Today was the day for sending out all of the Houndsbay items, and I thought what a good idea it would be to share some of the fun with Morse, include him in it all, let him take part. So I arrive in the lounge armed with Fred basset books, soap, cards, basset bag, envelopes, pen etc etc.  Morse stares at me. It's a  mixture of 'what the hell is all that crap?' and 'let me look'.  So I start writing out the envelopes, with Morse watching, with an deepening demonic look on his face.  First of all we have a little fight over the big black pen which squeaks when it writes.  By the time I am through the first envelope, I have drool on my trousers, on the pen and on the envelope too.  I start wiping this off on the floor and out of the corner of my eye see Morse fleeing to the garden with something in his mouth.  Oh no, its the Fred Basset soap.  Vintage soap too, from about 1974, so not exactly in the best shape to take a mauling.  By the time I reach him
 there are 2 little teethholes in the box (Douglas I am so sorry)and its slobbered on.  I wipe this off and hurriedly put it in the envelope; whats a bit of drool.  We wrestle over the pen again and my writing on the envelope is just atrocious, as I am fighting Morse through the entire address.  It looks like a child has written it.  Then I can see what has taken his interest again - the basset coasters.  I retrieved them from the garden (he had dropped 2 en route) but the 2 left are just a little bit smudged with drool. Donna I am very sorry, but I am sure Dixie will get them a real snootering when they arrive!!
And the moral of the story:  Forget the basset bonding time!!  Posting and bassets equals DISASTER.
*sigh*
