<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The elder boxer at our house, Maya, pulled a muscle in her back this week. I was cooking dinner and next thing I know she couldn't walk. I think that our young ones, Schroeder and Sophie, were trying to play too rough with her. You know how those kids can be.... Schroeder always tries to -pardon my french- hump her because she is the queen bee and he wants to be top dog. He is only going to be 2 next month so the basset brains are nowhere near arriving at our house.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We always keep you in our thoughts and will always have spare drool for you no matter how many houndies need it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Love and drool to all in need,</DIV>
<DIV>Annette, Schroeder, Maya, Cassie & Sophie</DIV>
