journey To The Bridge. It's difficult to write about Rhett through my
tears but I have to pay tribute to this special hound. Rhett has been
receiving the best of care from a team of veterinarians and veterinary
specialists but the time had come to put Rhett's quality of life
first.<BR><BR>Rhett joined our family through pure chance in 2002. We were
on our way to Florida Basset Rescue to adopt a female and agreed to transport
Rhett who was coming into rescue. Rhett laid in the back seat of my car
and cuddled next to our Beauregard (ATB) for the trip. We were about
halfway there and, Bob and I both commented that Beau and Rhett were a natural
pair. Needless to say, Rhett came back home with us and became a member of
our family.<BR><BR>I'm sure Rhett will be met At The Bridge by Beauregard, our
Magnolia and Tammy, and of course, Noah Go Slowah and the other OEBE's, BABES
and Basset friends already there. Rhett has been a colorful character in
our cyber-adventures as Rhett, Esquire, of the law firm dedicated to justice and
equality for Bassets everywhere. <BR><BR>Please light a candle for Rhett's
speedy journey To The Bridge. <BR><BR>Marie and Bob<BR>Megan Mariah and
Scarlet
