[Dailydrool] Fairy princesses

[Pamela McQuade via Dailydrool]

I'm not certain, but I think our Alexis was the first Drool fairy 
princess. Alexis came to us when she was nine, from a home she should 
never have been in. Hers was a rough start, and she needed a lot of 
medical help is all I'll say. But she always loved her original people 
who gave her very inadequate medical care.

When she came to us, she was an arthritic senior, but she still had the 
most graceful walk I've ever seen in a basset. Coming to us, she went 
from living like a peasant to being treated like a princess. One day my 
husband called her a fairy princess, though he later admitted he 
probably meant a fairy-tale princess. But somehow fairy princess suited 
Lex, so the name stuck. She had the deepest howl I have ever heard in a 
basset. You'd have thought she was a mastiff when she let loose, as she 
did every time we drove our car into the driveway. Though she left us 
many years ago, I still miss her.

Browyn, however, is a different kind of fairy princess. I guess they all 
have their own personality. While Lex was definitely a lady, Browyn is 
more the tomboy side of fairy princessdom. But all fairy princesses live 
an utterly spoiled life.
