[Dailydrool] A Perfect Day.

[Karen]

With all the sadness on the drool for the past month I thought I would share
good news and  the great day I had yesterday.  

Miss Anya our big red and white smooshy girl, who was rescued from death row 
has a new "Furever Home"!  This is not just any home.  This is a home built just 
with low riders in mind.  There are 10 fully fenced acres with low windows and
glass doors so a basset can watch all the happenings of the world.  Her new family
is the greatest!  I cannot sing their praises enough.  They knew they wanted her before 
even meeting her.  After meeting her and spending a little time together Anya was off 
to her new home.  Mom sat in the back seat with her while dad played chauffeur.   
Of course this would not have happened had it not been for all the hard work that 
Golden Gate Basset Rescue did in making Anya, Ken and Margaret's dreams a reality.

Oh but wait the day didn't end there.  Since we were in Reno my best friend and 
transport helper Doris and I went to the Atlantis for their wonderful buffet.  I am not
real keen on buffets but the Atlantis has a really good one with awesome food choices.
We stuffed ourselves so full that we had to walk it off in the casino.  Doris will always
"play" a little in a casino so we stopped by a bank of slots she wanted to play.  Of course 
there was one there three in the row called what else but Rescue.  I am not a big gambler,
especially when there are so many hungry furry mouths to feed in my house.  I looked
the machines over and picked mine. So when it kept rejecting my $1 bills I finally said 
"Okay, I will play the $10 bill".  The first time I one a rescue spin I had no idea I was 
suppose to hit the little button to stop the spin.  WooHoo I won $3.  

Then it happened....WooHoo I won 12 extra spins.  Let it spin away. When  the spins 
hit $100 I was shocked.  

Then it happened Again! During the extra spins I hit another rescue spin and won 5
more free spins. 
 
The machine is spinning away on its own.  I bowed my head and said "Dear Lord I 
could really use some extra bone money to feed the now 6 bassets, 3 kitties, Ruby Doo 
and Cuddles."  (I know saying a few prayers to win in a casino is probably not the best thing 
to do but the gang goes through a lot of food every month.)    Finally the machine stops....
I give a silent but heartfelt Thank You to the Big Guy. I have $191 extra!  I turn to Doris and say 
" I just won enough money to feed the gang for over a month!" 

Oh but I am not finished yet!  I get home to the happy gang who are surrounding me, all
vying for their "Yes I am home loving".    In the mix is Isabelle (one of GGBR's famous 61) 
who is so very fearful and had a big setback when her adoption failed.  She is happily greeting 
me with the rest of the gang, bouncing around with her tail up.  Her tail is wagging away!  
She is the happiest I have seen her since she came back home!

Anya has the home all rescues dream of, the food was great, Momma has extra in her pocket
to feed the gang and Isabelle's tail was wagging.  What a Perfect Day!

Droolz,
Karen and The Dog House Gang
