<DIV>Today is my big boy's 6th birthday...I can't believe it...when he came to
us he was 4 1/2 years old...oh how I wish we can freeze their
ages...time just flies. In the time we have had him he has become my
Velcro dog...most Droolers who have been in his company can attest to
that. What is so great about that is that when we are at Basset events he
does not need a leash...I am his invisible leash...where there is Mommy there is
Abraham. It just amazes me how much in love I fall with each and
every animal that passes over my threshold....and ABE is no
exception. As I was writing this I realized for the 2010 Daily
Drool Calendar I was able to get his brithday page and duh, just realized on the
caption I had put it was his 6th birthday and in reality it will be his 7th
birthday...Oh well...dumb slave living in today!!</DIV>
