<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Janie and I are proud to announce the addition of
Cleo to our home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>High Country Basset Hound Rescue has approved us
and Cleo is our 1st foster!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>To show you how busy the shelters are now, they
first had Cleo listed as a boy, Hector. Apparently no one had the time to
double check and realize the "he" is a "she".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>No problem, I was willing to help any hound in
need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Cleo is listed as being 8 years old. I think
she may be a little younger and maybe not a full blooded Basset. Of
course, I'm no expert, but she is a little "doll".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Her snout is very long and a little pointed, and
her belly isn't as spotted as most Bassets I've known, but she has Basset
traits.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>After Jeremy (from the rescue) left, Cleo cried,
ahrooed and carried on for about an hour. She settled down after a bit,
with help from treats and a lot of cuddling. Ahrooing is not usual around
here, Janie only does it in her sleep. Cleo has a beautiful
voice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>She slept on a comforter at the foot of my bed last
night. I moved Janie over so there was room for Cleo, but she just
curled up on the comforter and didn't budge all night. This morning Cleo
was up with me, had breakfast, and did her job out in the new snow before Janie
even came downstairs. Different clocks, no doubt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm looking forward to our morning walk.
There's 2 or 3 inches of new snow and I've never walked 2 Bassets at one
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I have a chance, I'll try to make a Dogster
page for Cleo, meanwhile, Welcome Cleo!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Happy woofs,</FONT></DIV>
