<DIV>R Aunty Sandy brought us some fun presents frum the Boardwaddle! (which we
are going to go there SOMEDAY....it sounds sooooo fun!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gotta tell everybody what a useable and good idea and present
Nudgie's Matchboxes are! What a darling darling boy that Nudgie is! Wayyyy
Basset Houndy fellow..Nudgie needs not to be rebareassed because Nudgie is
sooooo extra handsome! You know what? Those matches are really a fine idea
to help with rescue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh Oh! Those Basset Hound magnets! What grrreat things they had...we got
the best pile of fun stuff. (we gotta Basset Sit Beauty Dog and her 3 Basset
Houndies when she got to go the Board Waddle) You shouldda heard too when Sandy
talked about the Boardwaddle and everything going there on her radio show.
It sounds so fun!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We got a Drool Towel too in our pile of fun presents that support the
rescue! Sandy said they used a POTATO to do the prints on the
towels and then drew the design..its soooo cute and useable too! A
new art form is born..drool rag artists! WOw! </DIV>
<DIV>Patty Crawford makes Drool Rags here in the Great Northwest for
supporting the Hounds here at Rescues in Washington State and they are fun
too! I hope she makes some more again this year for Linda' Sale Table! Such
creative and fun things all you Droolers figure out to help support the Bassets
in Need! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides the BASSET HOUNDS I think its really in truly fun to get right over
to the Basset C--- Sale Tables isn't it? You just never know what good
things you might find there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This year at our Basset Fun Day we are going to have all kinds of good and
fun things to buy to help support the Basset Hounds in need too! Linda and Sandy
have again said they will have the Garage Sale Table (its all new stuff!
mostly..its only called that because if people want they can bring anything
"Basset" to donate to the sale...its kinda like in the Fairy Tales storey about
all the starving animals making "Rock Soup" ..the animals all brought what they
could to the pot and before you knew it..they had all created something
wonderful)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Last year Bob the dog went around selling Kisses AND gave lots of his
"Chic Magnets" There is a very kwuel lady here named Mary who has just
started a Healthy Dog Treet Business called"Doggie Droolerz" and she puts
the rescue hounds photos on the labels and donates part of her sales to the
rescues! I made some Basset Drawings for cards and we will have lots of the
Basset Hound pens that have the BASSET SHAPE complete with floppy ear! There
will be allll kinds of good stuff to buy. We don't have a Basset Store (or
a web site yet either ack!) but we are workin on it and will have it one fine
day...in Basset Time I guess! So! If you can please come to our BASSET FUN DAY
JUNE 21 we would so love to see you there! This is going to be a reallyyyyyy
good one this year The Best Ever!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sand Gaston is again going to make the Basset Buffets and People Buffets!
(Good food!) We are gonna have some new games this year besides the Basset
Cake Walk. All day Bobbing for Hot Dogs and best of just watching as all the
Bassets Run Freely and we will have the huge round tables again this year to sit
at. It's so fun hanging around watching as the Bassets take over the entire
Doggy Daycare of The Academy of Canine Behavior!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry to blab...but these Matches and presents were all such happy fun
things that it got me going on telling you how neet they were and to look
forward to our Basset Fun Day. Hope some of you can come. We will make sure
everybody has a good time! We promise! The bandannas that everybody gets are

(BASSET SHAPES)! and the gift bags for the winners are bought, everybody is
working on stuff they are going to be doing for raffle baskets and Linda's
Garage Sale Tables ! We even are going to have huge round tables and
chairs again donated by Patty Crawford...so even if it RAINS so there
wouldn't be dry ground to lay our blankets out on...we will have a Huge
Monster Building to go where we will be under cover! We are all set for
