<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well good for you and Annie - excellent news. The
rubbing of the head in the dirtiest, smelliest crud on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>earth is what a basset does. Both Dazey and
Miss Becky did it. Dazey was an expert</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>when we would go walking where some people threw
some awful smelly stuff over fence</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>guess who had to go down and roll her head in it
and that required a bath again. And</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>one day after a father's day bbq at a nursing home
where she visited she rolled in something awful on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>our way home. Saw the head go down but I wasn't
quick enough. She stunk!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Miss Becky's preference were cow pies. One
day she was completely green and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>people steered well around her. Got her home and
bathed her in vinegar.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Bears do that to rub their scent off them to
discourage their enemies - why bassets do it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have no idea but they all seem
to!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Georgie and Miss Becky</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sounds like Annie is on her way. Amazing dogs are
so forgiving! even to rotten owners.</FONT></DIV>
