<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi to the Flat Basset people...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know of a basset in California who only walks in
one direction and when he is supposed to turn around to go home, "flatly"
refuses to do so. Since he only has 3 good legs and his owner doesn't want
to push him too much - she brings along a children's plastic wagon and when it's
time to go home, she loads or encourages </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(this is where the treats help) the basset to climb
in and get a ride home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe a wagon would help. I know it's an extra
thing to tow along, but it's better than trying to tug him home!</FONT></DIV>

how <BR>long the basset has been on the streets fending for him/her self.. but
<BR>whenever my friend takes her baby for a walk.. the basset just wants to keep
<BR>going and going, wants to play with other dogs, can not go off leash.. bolts
<BR>from her.. and if her basset youngen doesn't get his/her own way... flat
<BR>bassets and blows air out of his/her huffers (sides of the mouth).. and acts
<BR>like he/she is dying.. and my friend can't get him/her up again.. and people
<BR>gather around thinking the basset is ill or she is meaning mean to her
<BR>furbaby.. she takes plenty of water and treats.. but he/she gets a
drink or <BR>takes a treat and right back down to flat basset.<BR><BR>what
advice can I give her??? she can't lift and carry her basset
home..<BR><BR>any help???</DIV></BODY></HTML>
