<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Very good article on basset traits and the duties
of them owning us.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I once read that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'Bassets are not for the feint of
heart'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'Nor people with bad nerves'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'People who are fastidious housekeepers and
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'People who demand strict obedience'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now that lets a lot of people out but I have had
two and fought to keep them</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>till they go but they are the most entertaining and
social animals I have ever </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>had the pleasure of them owning us! Becky even won
a son over who is very strict but knows better than to ever suggest getting rid
of her when I came out - even drove her and cat in front seat of uhaul from
calgary to victoria . Amazing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes nail cutting and getting them to vet at times
has proven challenging and when I was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sick the wonderful people who helped and sent cards
I will never forget.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all again and the article - every word -
is true</FONT></DIV>
