[Dailydrool] Bassets and gardens

[Jane Lyons]

We enjoyed the stories of bassets and gardens, and have to relate one of 
our own.

Our second basset, when she was a senior girl, used to love the garden.  
We had a large garden, 1/4 acre in size, so we had plenty.
We would plant an extra row of peas and string beans just for Daisy.  
When we were working in the garden, Daisy would come with us.  She would 
start at the beginning of the row, and work her way in until she was 
full.  We called her our "garden girl".

We no longer have a garden, but whenever we hear stories of bassets and 
gardens, we can't help but think of Daisy.  Daisy was our longest lived 
basset, living to the ripe old age of 15 3/4.  Maybe all the fresh 
veggies helped her longevity!
