<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today I received a call from a man looking for our
basset network, he is giving up his basset girl, Lucy, who is 14. What drives me
mad is that he has had her since puppy, how can he do it!? He gave all the
excuses, wife, child with special needs, bla bla bla. My heart breaks for her,
and it makes me mad at him, but I was able to control myself for the benefit of
Lucy. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I'm looking for a home for her, a good loving
home where the pain of being abandoned is minimized for great love and
care.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if you live around Calgary in Alberta, Canada,
she can be your Christmas miracle or maybe you can be hers. Poor girl. Lucy is
tri-color, healthy, well behaved but stubborn, so, a typical
basset.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I pray she can find a good home, she deserves
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Love and drool to those who need</FONT></DIV>
