<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paddi B Basset is Shocked and Horrified to note
that Violeta Basset missed the chance to lick a warm, wet human leg and instead
put her own precious nose under the water (a very dangerous
procedure) after a BALL! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paddi is appalled at the wasted opportunity, and at
the implication that tri-coloured hounds should retrieve balls under any
circumstances. (She herself is a proud to be a tri-coloured hound and will have
nothing whatsoever to do with balls, and has informed me that if I want a
retriever I should get one.) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She asks Violeta to please reconsider this sport --
and notes that Violeta looks so much like Paddi that it is Particularly
Alarming!</FONT></DIV>
