<DIV>Boy, did Charlie give me a real scare today. We were working
out in the year today with both Ben and Charlie in the yard with us.
Naturally we would go in and out of the gate to do
things, closing the gate each time, leaving the dogs in the
yard. When we went to go in the house, we could not find
Charlie. We started looking all over for him, calling
his name. No luck. Looked in the house, upstairs, the basement, no
Charlie. I started to get sick. Sent son out the front gate to
check the yard and sidewalks in front and the wife to check out in
the alley, calling his name. I redid the house, now
really getting worried. He is 13 and walks slow so would have no chance
crossing the street. Just having lost Cheyene, the chance of losing
Charlie petrified me. He is my little old man, and first
basset. I start outside again, heart pounding, I hear wife shouting "I
found him." I was waling on a cloud with happiness. The little guy
had crawled behind the shed and made himself a nice bed in the
dirt and went to sleep. It is a very narrow space, and he had
got himself stuck a bit. I was so relieved I could not be upset with
him. Never a dull momnet with bassets.</DIV>
