<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK for what it's worth. Bassets are not for
the feint of heart;, people demanding</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>strict obedience; (no flat bassets) and people
who are fastidious housekeepers; (drool) so maybe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>bassets aren't for you - a baby is a chore in
itself </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but if they were they would reward you for
years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But people complain about my housekeeping - nasty
son says mine is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>different from other people's so who is right (I am
moving back to Alta)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but I also remember when in Ontario
kids</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>came to my place cuz they couldn't play in their
houses because of making</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a mess in their perfect 'keeping up with the
joneses' mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had a couple of birthday parties I had to say the
mom called to get them</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to go home. And one I said his mom called I saw him
years later when we</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>experienced a awful happening he was there and turned out to be a wonderful
young man</DIV>
<DIV>And 40 years ago I sure didn't think not unlike you either. Don't feel
guilty do</DIV>
<DIV>what's good for you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my opinion - Miss B's old now but
in her heyday she created lots of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>trouble One I remember is I had m y hip done
and was trying to clean</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the fridge and she k ept stealing the rag which
meant I had to call the Airedale</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to help me up - but now she's just a dear and joy
to have. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>

Becky</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
