font-family:Arial'>Dis be Dwake. Iz asking for speriance. My wab brudder Bo,
what momp wrote in bout yesterday, well he done got grumpy. Really grumpy,
biting da vet and snarling and lippy. Da vetman real nice bout it, and say to
me MomP dat Bo has a wacky thirode (Thyroid) problem, what b called…what
dat called gain mommy? Oh yeah, hypothyroidism. And dat could be what make he a
grumpy bugger. But me Mom Piz worried, and I thot all da wonderful basset
people might hab a basset wif dis problem, and could help me MomP out wif da
learnin. Or perhaps tell us something that makes more sense than hypothyroidism
causing a perfectly normal and sweet as pie lab to go from fine to
meanerthanayardsnake (Dat be da dgreen thing in da yard?) from the house to the
vet. She kinda confused, but do the blood tests lie? Can there be a mimic? I
wants me brudder back, and da vetman say we no play together no more til he
meds make he happy gain, or he mite bite one me ears off!!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
