<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I speak for myself of course when I say this, but I consider my title
as slave one of honor!! It’s not a negative thing at all. Obviously,
there are some who don’t know how much work it takes to truly and
completely spoil a basset hound to the point at which your own needs, comfort, space
on the sofa, shoes without teeth marks, etc. are but an afterthought to the
needs and comfort and happiness of that fat little short legged long ear’d
fat toed slobbering goofy looking silly animal that I would give my life to
protect like I would the children I gave birth to. It’s not easy to
spoil them that badly…but it is certainly possible! Commitment…that’s
all it takes! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>We all know our dogs are dogs, and we are their masters, and all that
jazz…but what’s so bad about having a sense of humor and finding
joy in the mishaps of everyday basset-slavedom? If your life and routine work
for you and your pup, I’m thrilled for you! And if being a slave to a
basset hound or two works for me, then I would hope that there’s no one
out there who would look down on me for it. (I really couldn’t care less
what anyone thinks to be honest, but I thought I’d be polite! Lol…My
dogs run my house and my life and I love every single second of it!!!!!!!)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
