<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Until I started reading your stories, I had no idea that bassets behaved like this. I hate to say it, but Emma doesn't get into anything, or roll in mud. She hardly ever barks. Growing up, the bassets my parents and I had were so quiet. But I must say, without your Elwood stories, I would still feel a little lost. After losing my Mom last year, your stories gave me something to look forward to, a great laugh. I know my Mom would have loved this, I wish I had found the drool sooner. Please keep up the stories, and good luck with the mud. I clean for a living and have come across some things, but I really feel for you with this task. Emma The Delicate Diva, Brother Bailey and Momma Beth<br>
