<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Still behind on drools (245) to be exact and that is digest form. I know that I am still reading emails from before Thanksgiving. Hope everyone is well and healthy. Just a quick update on the hounds: Mazzie was on the crap list for a few days. It was discovered that the couch had been urinated on in between each cushion! If Maggie was to get on the couch it would have been all white hair. Oliver the doxie pointed it out and Cooper the mini doxie's bladder could not hold as much urine as we found. What is the worst part is that we had company when it was discovered. I sat on the couch and Oliver came up to me and started sniffing. I felt my shirt wet and I told him to stop licking me only to discover he was not. The couch is almost 10 years old and cannot withstand to have the cushion covers to come off and be laundered much more. Luckily the company was my mom, my sister and my step father. Mazzie and her peeing is never going to change. I was so angry that she once again peed on something and knowing we cannot afford a new couch right now.</div>

<div>Today, our eldest 2 legger turned 12. That is why everyone was here from out of town. The two leggers start school break right now so with my mom being a teacher the kids went back with her which is a few hours away. Maggie, our 9 year old basset, would not lay down all day long. She paced, came up to us over and over and we could not figure out what was wrong. Water--check, food----check, both bathroom things attended--check. What could be wrong? Suddenly it dawned on me that she had been pacing for 7 hours due to the two leggers leaving and she not knowing where they were. Dad Slave said the kids are with Nana and ROo. Maggie just stared. I said to Maggie that the kids are with Hershey (my sister's lab) and she then climbed up on the couch and has been snoring since then which has been around 2 hours. To think the o'le girl was missing her kids. </div>

<div>Well, I know I said, short post, but I haven't posted in awhile. We bought a new BUV around 3 or 4 weeks ago. Did I already post about that? Well the bassets have not been in it yet, but both of the boys (doxies) have. It is a Dodge Journey and I am knowing the girls will have to be lifted in. It will be different without the mini van for them. </div>

<div>It rained here a few days last week. I am not looking forward to mud season just from those few days, not to mention that the wet weather messes with my fibromyalgia. I want it to get warm though so we can get the hounds out walking. It has been a cold winter in NY state. Maggie even froze up last week in the snow. I had to go out and lift her and carry her in (55 lbs) and that was not easy for me to do. I got her paws desnowed and was upset for her as she had only been out about 3 minutes. </div>

<div>Happy Belated Valentines Day to everyone,</div>
<div>Dee, Maggie, Mazzie, Oliver and Cooper</div>
