[Dailydrool] vacs, skin, and waterdogs

[Donna Mitchell]

Hi have a Rainbow, and if it died tomorrow, I would go into debt again to
have another.  I love the power head on this machine.  The water disposal
can be a pain in the butt, but I take it out to the edge of the property and
dump it.  The hair is good stuff for bird's nests, and often see them (once
the mess dries out) pulling on it and flying away.  I have terrible
allergies, and this machine makes it possible for me to have pets.

Our Daisy has this reddish looking skin under her front legs, up close to
her body.  It doesn't smell, or irritate her, so I haven't worried about
it.  It does look strange though.

We have a kiddie pool for the bassets.  They love it in the summer.  It
isn't deep enough for them to "swim" in, but they can launch themselves into
the cool water and lay around and cool off.  Do be very careful of a basset
in the water, it is very dangerous.  A couple of years ago, Daisy broke
through the ice in a ditch that was about 3 feet deep and very wide.  It was
in a subdivision that had a road recently built.  It took DH by surprise,
then of course he had to get wet in the middle of the winter to save her
from the incident.  Please be careful with deep water and a basset.

Best to everyone-my girls are going to miss me this week when I return to
work.

Drool to all who are in need,
Donna, slave to Daisy and Lilly
