<DIV><STRONG><EM>Basset Ethel had her yearly check-up yesterday, DHLP
Booster, Parvo/Corona Booster,Rabies Canine 3 year Booster, Heartworm Occult,
Lyme, &EHRL test, Nail trim, heartworm pill, and frontline (flea med)
172.17. Wow. I say wow because I can't see how all of you with many
more bassets than one can afford the vet bills. I guess most are in the
beginning and once of year hit;all the more reason for us to help with our
rescue groups. Ethel had lost a little over a pound since her last visit
she is 65.5 pounds now, which I think she is at a fine weight, but the vet would
like for her to be 60 pounds, also I buy Ethel "soup bones" from the stone,
large bones, not cooked, and she loves them, my vet also doesn't like any type
of bones to be given, poor Ethel, she loves them, that will be a hard one and to
be honest I think I will continue to give her one once in a while, she has had
dozens and dozens during the last year and has done fine with them. What
do you all think? Spread the Drool! Thank You, Lisa and Basset Ethel
