[Dailydrool] 10 Best Family dogs

[Swartz]

Oh my Droolers are not starting the week off on a very good note. We are so 
sorry to hear of Dodger Blue's, Molly's, Cori Vette, Grace, & Jenny making 
their journey to the bridge. To all their families take heart in the fact 
that they are  no longer sick and are young, & healthy once again and 
running with all of thier buddies that preceded.  They will
live forever in the magic of your memories.

Happy Gotcha day to the drool slinging machine Twinkletoes...I would have 
loved to have seen the priest dripping in drool...hehehehe

I agree with Pam about the 10 Best Family Dogs...Man they really didn't know 
what they were talking about with the bassets.  I cringed when I read this. 
My boys are just a few months shy of being 3 yrs old. And they still have a 
lot of energy.And even my Senior hounds had burst of energy in-between naps. 
When people ask me about them I tell them all of the (what non-basset people 
consider) negative traits of the bassets; shedding, stubborn/bassetude, 
difficult to potty train and hard to train in general unless it is something 
that they want to do and when they want to do it or for something really 
tasty, the hound dog smell, etc. But I find with a lot of people that they 
say "oooohhhh they are so cute
I can deal with all of that"...until they get one and the basset gives them 
a reality check. Kind of like women wanting to date the "heroes" (fireman, 
police officer, Special Forces Guys etc) They are cool to date, a girl now 
has bragging rights. But it sucks when you fall in love with them...reality 
sets in and you realize how dangerous their jobs are, and how much they are 
away from home, and now how much you worry about them.  Yep those reality 
checks with basset & hero's are a bitch. Anyway. Armed Forces day was the 
15th and Memorial Day is the 31st, so lift up your wine glasses (or other 
favorite beverage) in salute of all of America's Hero's...Here's to the 
Firefighters, EMS, Police, &
Soldiers who keep us all safe...and to the bassets and slaves of bassets 
that love them. A drink and a hearty AAAAAHHHHRRROOOO!!!!
