My birthday is December 6.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
It's going to be a lousy birthday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
Mom went shopping for my birthday gift but had</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
to leave the store since it was too unbearable to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
see all the happy people and dogs. Her heart is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
still breaking over my Aunt Sadie. She had a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
conversation with Sadie & she said she wasn't</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
ready to go see Mandy the Cocker Spaniel or her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> sister
April who is my birth mother. Sadie was born</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
in June & the next litter came in February & that is </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
when my mother was born. They both had the same</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
parents but came from different litters. Mom took </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
pictures of my mom & Sadie & they both look alike.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
Twins almost. Bassets might look the same but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
we're all different except for these two. Even the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> people
at mom's work couldn't tell them apart. We</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
have pictures of the two of them & then a picture of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
me with both of them. The picture of me with them</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
you can only see one family resemblance. You could</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
email me if you would like to see these pictures since</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
I won't have my new kong or stuffed animal to play with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
on my birthday. Usually mom would sing happy birthday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
but she said she can't even do that for me since Sadie &</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
I would howl if she sang. She said she's too sad to sing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
& doesn't know if she ever will again. (sign)</FONT></DIV>
