<DIV><FONT color=#008000 face=Arial>Hi Droolers,</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Lots and lots of slobbery Drool is being produced for those that have
lost a hound, or a loved one. I have given my kids lots and lots of love this
week. I hold them tight, and tell them that I love them.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Boomer is four today! I want to thank each of you for helping Cathy
and I raise him. I knew nothing about Bassets until I joined the Daily
Drool. Boomer had his first double cheese burger at Christine's with the
Men's, so in honor of those who have gone to the bridge, there will be double
cheeseburgers and Frosty Paws all around.</FONT> </DIV>

face=Arial>When I lost my ability to walk, we looked for a minivan to put my
power chair in. As luck would have it, the salesperson at the dealership had a
Basset that was about 4 months old. Somehow that came up in our conversation,
and she stated that she had a Male Basset that her kids no longer played with. I
told her that I had always wanted and liked Basset Hounds, and I requested that
she let me know how much she wanted for him. The week-end called, they asked if
we still wanted him, and said that he was free.</FONT></DIV>

write more later. </FONT></DIV>
