The September issue of Dog Fancy has a cute article under "Happy Endings" about a Basset Hound name Charlie who lives on an island with his dadslave. It includes a picture of him on the beach with his little "guest book" around his neck. If you can't get a copy, he has a website with video at www.yelapacharlie.com.<BR>

Archie is soooo in-vee-us of Brudder Elwood, he never thought of eating a rock, once he did eat a metal attachment to a faucet that wouldn't pass, wouldn't come up and wouldn't go down (Archie doesn't like to talk about that part though). He ended up with $1700.00 worth of surgery to remove it. But like he says, what's a guy supposed to do when no one ever feeds him? These Bassets are going to shake us all out of our nut trees !!!<BR>

I think the record breaking heat is getting to all of us, today it was 112 degrees and all 3 dog persons are having to be shoved out the door for potty breaks. Archie is barely surviving with his various fans, popsickles, ice cubes and the 24/7 air conditioner. Momslave is seriously exploring the internet looking for a cold place to retire, like maybe Nova Scotia?<BR>

Drool to all in need and Vaseline lubricant to Elwood ("Come on guy, pop that poopy puppy out so we can all relax")<BR>
