[Dailydrool] Honored and Humbled

[Heidi I Sarver]

Um, hello everyone.  I, Della, is so vewwy overwhelmed by my wecent  
wecognition by the pwestigious BABES society.  I twuly does not knows  
where to begin.  "The Royal Mistress of Sweetness and Light"--dat's  
what da official postcawd says.  Wowzers!  I do mys vewwy best to bees  
a goods girl.  It works vewwy hard not to counter-cruises...it is hard  
not to.  I admit I like to look arounds up dere but I get right down  
without taking things.  Lately I have been snuggling up against my  
momslave's knee--she had da surgery-thing a couple weeks ago.  She is  
doing verwwy goods but I like to help by keeping her knee warm.

Accowding to da postcawd I gots I am to help with "new BABES with less  
than sweet smiles."  I is looking fohwards to dis job!  So many  
buppies could bees BABES but get tempded bys da dark side.  Dat is  
verwy sad.  Mys brudder Buford was an official OEBE member before he  
went to da bridge.  He TWULY was OEBE--I couldn't help him eben dough  
I twied verwy hard.

I did, however do a non-BABES ting da udder night.  I admit it was a  
weak moment but I tink da BABES society will agree it was justified!   
Momslave was talking and talking and talking about bringing home  
another 4-legger to live wid us.  I is still sad dat Buford is not  
here and am just getting used to being da big girl of da house.  But I  
figured if it would make mommy happy den ok....until I saws da  
picture!!  It wasn't a basset hound!!  Momslave was talking about a  
BLOODHOUND!  HOWWORS!!!  Dey is BIG, BIG, BIG four-leggers!!  I didn't  
know what to do!!!  I got verwy scared and newvous....and den I did a  
verwy un-BABES-like ding:  I threwed up dinner eberywhere!  Momslave  
cleaned dit all up and hugged mees hard and said, "ok Bear (she calls  
be Bear cause I'm cuddle-ly) no bloodhound."  I was ashamed of myself  
but I couldn't help it.

I pwomise to uphold my title to da bestest of mys ability!

Mom here:  Della is a wonderful girl!  And yes, I was indeed thinking  
of rescuing a 3 year old bloodhound.  There's nothing wrong with him  
except needing eyelid surgery to correct Entropian problems--his  
previous owner didn't want to pay for the surgery and left him at the  
vet to be euthanized!!!  They convinced the owners to relinquish him  
to their care and he was taken in by a vet tech.  He's in her home as  
a foster right now and I'm sure she'll find him a good home.  What  
brought me back from the brink of opening my home to a 110 lb 4-legger  
as Della throwing up.  I looked at the amount of vomit she produced  
and literally said outloud, "My God!  If a 47 lb basset can throw up  
THAT much food, a 110 lb bloodhound would puke the equivalent of  
Della!"  I just couldn't imagine having to clean that up...so I opted  
out of adopting the bloodhound.  I know he's in good hands so I'm not  
too worried.

Thank you Queen Bess and Lovely Lucy!  Della is truly a BABES and I  
know she will work hard to fulfill her duties.
