<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ho hoho that is wonderful and funny. I
am sure DH already suspects - Almost as</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>devious as my mother who would always stick up for
us. My brother who broke</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>every barn window - Dad would spank
him and fix them and he'd do it again and broke Dad's tape
measure</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and it was well known you stayed out of his
toolbox. He also set the orchard on fire while boiling sap</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well she put the broken piece back in and I forget
how it turned out when he</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>used it again and found out..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Brother turned out to be a detective so buess it
was a learning experience for him. <BR></FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial> You know how Bassets grow on you. Bet he'll
miss her if she goes. It's wonderful</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>you are going to care for her tho. And a vet ortho
in Calgary told me that bassets don't have</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the hip thing - loose hips yes but they're
built like midgets and have the same problems and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the problem lay in her back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I taped Miss Becky up when we thought she had a
cruciate - vet said no - loose hips and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>back waiting to meld near tail. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>-- she was put on horse glocosomate from vets
office and recovered. She had a few</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>sore hip episodes but lived to be 15 yrs 4
mo. 2 days still walking. She also wore magnets</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and magnet belts and took arthritic meds. She
recovered to be able to walk for another five yeras</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It was her heart in end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sure others have more tips.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I still think he knows. When she's been there for 9
months I am sure it will dawn on him that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>by then he will be very very attached and hope
nobody else does adopts her. She will have wormed her way
in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>by then..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>arooooooooooooooooooar !</FONT></DIV>
