[Dailydrool] The Good Old Days

[Marie28443 at aol.com]

Once upon a time, the Daily Drool was a place  for laughter and tears.  We 
shared good and bad experiences with our  Bassets, shed tears when a loved 
Basset went To The Bridge, encouraged each  other through injuries and 
illnesses and were an extended family.  I made  so many friends because of the 
Daily Drool and our friendships have lasted over  the years.

Several years ago, the BABES and OEBE adventures were "kicked  to the 
boards" because a few people on the Daily Drool objected.   The  justification 
given to us was that somebody thought a hound had been injured in  one of 
their adventures - they couldn't tell the difference between fiction and  
reality.  Yet when their adventures were being posted, we received numerous  
emails from Droolers all over the world asking permission to forward the  
articles to non-Droolers.  Obviously, a lot of Droolers enjoyed the antics  of the 
hounds or their wouldn't have received so many cheerful comments or  
compliments.  Not every subject is going to be of interest to everyone but  the 
Daily Drool was diversified.

I was shocked by the article on  cremation.  It not only was very poor 
taste but an absolutely disgusting  post for the Daily Drool.  

Maybe we need to revert to what the  Daily Drool was years ago.  Bring back 
the laughter, smiles and the feeling  of a sharing family.  I strongly 
believe that this post will never get on  the Daily Drool but, if it does, I 
hope other Droolers express their feelings  over the changes in the past few 
years.
