<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rest assured if there is anything horribly stinky
and vile a basset has to roll in it or anything dead.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I caught Miss Becky the other day in the park
feasting</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on the back end of a poor dead rabbit - you just
can't</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>leave them alone for a minute.Becky also caught
mice and the new place has a few and my cat vanished.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to retrack steps when she wasn't behind me
and when Dazey visited nursing homes as did Miss Becky we cut through a field
and there</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>was Dazey rolling in the most god awful stinky
thing possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And the time Miss Becky rolled in cowpies in
Airdrie, she was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>absolutely green and wondered why she wasn't
getting any pets. After the cowpies she took to a mud puddle to finish.
She hates</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>water but the stinky stuff seems to make her
happy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bears roll in stuff like this to disguise their
scent - why bassets do it is beyond me. The old Airedale would
never</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dream of doing that but then again there was lots
the Bassets did the Airedale would never do and one was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>stealing food.</FONT></DIV>
