[Dailydrool] Treat on nose

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

Our late, great Jane Basset learned how to balance a treat on her  
nose. This was a very difficult trick for her to learn because she  
had such a hard time holding her head up. She was a natural head  
dropper, so learning to keep her head up and steady in a hold  
position took a lot of work and practice. She'd keep dropping her  
head and the treat would fall off--but she wouldn't eat it until I  
told her she could. The summer she learned how to hold her head up to  
balance a biscuit on her nose was the summer Ken took an intensive  
eight-week class in ancient Greek. I tell him that Jane would say  
learning how to balance that biscuit was a lot harder than learning  
Greek ever could be. If anyone's interested, I have a photo of Jane  
showing off her trick that I'll be happy to share in an e-mail  
(really gotta figure out the whole online photo album thing some day).
