<DIV>First, Sam(antha) is in high drool production, so we're slinging to all
those in need. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the beagle. We rescued a beagle, named Lady go figure, from a
family that would either ignore her, or tie her out in the yard to a very short
rope staked into the ground. This family was a client of mine when I did
home care. I talked about her to my husband, and then came home w/her one
night with no warning to the DH. I never regretted it. Our first
bassett, Barney ATB, fell in love w/her and she fit right in. She was here
when we lost Barney, when we aquired the not-wannabee cats, and then
Sam(antha). She went to the bridge after a long, and I hope happy,
life. </DIV>
<DIV> If I were you, I would report this family. That poor dog is
abuse and neglected. She probably wouldn't know good care if it happened
to her. If the dog officer can't/won't, I would step in, offer to take the
dog, and then work on finding a home if I couldn't take her, which I would, but
that's just me. We're still living w/the one dog and the cats, so it's
kind of quiet here. LOL </DIV>
<DIV>I wish you well in whatever you decide to do Arlene.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lori....happy to be Sam's slave.</DIV>
<DIV>Sam(antha)...where are my frosty paws? I know there are some in da
freezer</DIV>
<DIV>Tater and Hazel..the not-wannabeez. Meow We like
the beagle, she was nice to us, not like a certain dog we live with
now.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Gas prices getting you down?
