<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last Thursday when the kids and I made our trek
across the state to adopt out two bassets--and, of course, pick up two more for
rescue--one of the ones we picked up was Bubba, aka Big Guy. He was a
stray and while his rabies tag was current and from a different AC facility than
the one he was found by, the first place would release no info to the other
shelter other than to say his shots were current [at least rabies] and his name
was Scrub. We, of course, thought this was a dopey name, and found a name
with a similar vowel sound--Bubba. This is one of the best strays we have
ever had!! He is huge (64#), coated with freckles, super clean, already
neutered, with just the best temperament and personality. He even gets old
Sapper here jumping around to play! I take treats away from
him--nothing. I take his dish away from him while he's
eating--nothing. I take food out of his dish while he's
eating--nothing. Every other stray we've had either is food aggressive
around other dogs, or at leats tries to snarf every morsel before I can take the
dish away. Depsite his big size (he makes my Murphy look small!), he
doesn't counter cruise, doesn't jump on people and isn't even 1 little bit
Alpha. He is terrified of our little 9 lb cat Meemyow.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, he made his YouTube debut the other day as
I decided to try out the video upload feature to his listing on our website (I
have the right camera now, thanks to 12 yr old Joshua's research on the
Internet.) If you want to see two crazy bassets (OK, Sapper peeks in the
frame, too!) throwing themselves around my living room, check out:</FONT></DIV>
