<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;">Dear Drool
Family,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;">I'm still in recovery
from losing my precious girl Annie (haven't been on the drool in quite awhile)
and thank you all for your caring support. It's a new month now and it's time
for me to let you know we have a new family member. After Annie left I stumbled
around the house for days sobbing. I was truly a mess and then my birthday came
and I thought ok what would make me a little bit happy and I thought well maybe
I'd like a buppy. But it would have to be a buppy from rescue and they are hard
to come by so it will take some time but heck it couldn't hurt to look around a
little. See I haven't had a buppy for about 20 years and I had always wished I
had known Annie as a buppy and could never imagine how anybody could have ever
given her up. So anyway I thought I'd look on <a href="http://petfinder.com">petfinder.com</a> which is all
animals in rescues. So it has this online form where you put in what kind of
animal you're looking for and I thought yeahright and put in dog, Basset Hound,
baby and my zip code and much to my amazement up popped 5 puppies in a rescue in
northeast Ohio called From Heaven to Earth. Wow. So then I thought well it's
probably old information and they're not there anymore. So eventually later
that day I thought it can't hurt to call and ask. Well, they had only had the
puppies for about 5 days. They have been rescuing puppies (mainly puppies but
sometimes older dogs) from Amish puppy mills for 7 years and have never had
Bassets before. We talked for quite awhile. The rescue is run by a couple.
They don't spay or neuter before they adopt out – just require a contract but
clearly they were very nervous about these Bassets. She said they were getting
a lot of calls and was very afraid that some of them were people who wanted to
breed them. After she heard my story about having lost Annie and that Annie and
Teddy were both rescues and all about all the waddles and the Daily Drool and
everything, she wanted me to move over there so I could foster. Foster buppies
… hehehe</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;">Well, you can guess what
happened. First, I noticed I wasn't bursting into tears every ten minutes so I
thought well maybe Annie has had a paw in this although it seemed too soon but
then again was it not maybe meant to be and From Heaven to Earth… what was that
about????</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;">So I'd like to introduce
to you a new member of my family and of yours (the Drool family) – Isabella
Maria, a.k.a., Izzy. Izzy is a sweet red and white buppy who is already ruling
the roost. She has her own email address which is <a title="mailto:bizzyizzy@columbus.rr.com" href="mailto:bizzyizzy@columbus.rr.com">bizzyizzy@columbus.rr.com</a> so she can
post herself eventually but if you want to say hi please do. And I'm posting a
link to some pictures so I should probably at least mention there is another
buppy in these pictures who is Izzy's real brudder whose name is Rudy but we
need to let his new mama tell his story too but we are sooo happy to have him
living not too very far from us with a dear friend.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;"> </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="LYNN"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: LYNN;">Oh and I think that Izzy
will be making her waddle debut this Saturday at the OBR waddle in Delaware, Ohio. I know it's a long shot and short
notice but if anyone was so inclined we would sure be happy to get some pledges
for Izzy in honor of Pw. Annie. You could paypal me at <a title="mailto:bvogel@columbus.rr.com" href="mailto:bvogel@columbus.rr.com">bvogel@columbus.rr.com</a>. It's for the
homeless houndies.</span></font></p>

it is. </span></font></p>
