<div>Words can't express my sadness at the loss of Mitchell and Doc, two distinguished gentlemen. Bev and Shelly, I'm so sorry. Two more bright stars in the night sky -- with the loss of all of our beloved babies of late it will be as bright at night as during the day with all of the new stars. The bassets send heart-healing drool.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Drool to Dee-Dee on her loss of Bandit -- I didn't "know" him as well as Mitchell and Doc, but I know how beloved every baby is. I'm sorry.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Synthia, the bassets are sending "hope it's nothing" drool to Bud.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Karen, I know Tucker sent this baby to you. When one door closes another opens -- he'll never replace your Tucker, but you'll honor Tucker's memory and the love you had for him by giving another hound a loving home.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Healing drool to Leslie, who clearly needs to learn to take it easier. Cookie, I'll be sending her a card but if you can let her know we're all thinking of her and drooling (or praying in my case...I'm not to the point where I drool...yet...) for a full recovery I would appreciate it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And finally some good news -- I"m so happy Annie is home and doing better. And thank you for the new Frank the Tank videos. I loved them both, but especially loved the one with him at the garbage can. I have that type of can as well but Geoffrey, Molly, and Henry clearly aren't as smart as Frank -- they haven't figured out how to open it. We got about 5 inches of snow and my three galloped through it today too! Laura (Geoffrey, Molly, Henry, Rosebud, Lisa (ATB), Dub-Dub (ATB))</div>
