<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know if I should say this outloud for fear
of jinxing it, but for the first time in a year, I have fewer fosters than
permanent residents here! (Well, to be exact, Sapper is not a foster and
not a resident either since his Soldier Daddy is coming home in a few
months.) OUR Soldier Daddy is supposedly 8 weeks away from coming home
after 14 mos in Iraq. I hope Jeremiah is prepared to give up
his spot in the bed!!!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We will only be able to save a handful of bassets
in the next 8-9 months because of the dearth of foster homes for this state,
which is very disheartening, but I think the 46 who did share our home in
the past year are grateful to have been rescued at just the right
time.</FONT></DIV>
