<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One year ago today our Beachbaby and her sister,
Begonia, were left by their owners in a holding pen with just a note at a
shelter in Franklin, Tennessee. I know the story ended well, because they
were rescued and we adopted them both, but I still cry when I think of that
night and how scared they must have been when their people dropped them off and
drove away. And maybe it was cold and maybe they weren't used to being
outside and alone.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thank you to Alabama Basset
Rescue for stepping up and saving my angels. And thanks to Meg, their
foster mom, for giving them such a good place to live until we could find each
other.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Even though Begonia left us for
the Rainbow Bridge just six weeks after we adopted her, she is forever in our
hearts. She, along with Beachbaby, are our first rescue dogs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So I guess it's happy dropped ya
day for the Beach.</FONT></DIV>
