<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone, especially the slaves to OEBE
bassets...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are relatively new to the Drool and are
wondering what it takes to be nominated to the Order of the Evil Basset
Empire.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have figured out the candidate has to be 10
months old. Beyond that - what do they have to have done? How "evil" do they
have to be?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lucie will be 10 months old on the 29th - fast
coming up. She is a counter surfer extraordinaire - since she is very long
and therefore can reach onto and into counters quite a distance. Loves
excavating in the raised beds which she can leap into in a single bound. We fear
for next springs plantings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Her most recent counter escapade netted her an
(un-iced) chocolate cupcake - which were just cooling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots of drool to all the hounds in
need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Karen and Lucie (Devil Dog!)</FONT></DIV>
