<DIV>I personally don't have any of the "normal" dogs that</DIV>

<DIV>Empress Ruby Doo is a thinker, uses her eyes, ears and nose,</DIV>
<DIV>and will find a way to get around the things I want her to do. Of course </DIV>
<DIV>she is training everyone else so I have bassets with bassetude </DIV>
<DIV>and huskytude as well. doG help me!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have knowned for a while that our beloved bassets are intelligent but I have</DIV>
<DIV>had another thought occur to me. Since we slaves are well aware of there</DIV>
<DIV>IQ....I think it makes us smarter than the author of the article and every</DIV>
<DIV>newspaper and news station that airs it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are an elite group that knows how smart and loveable these droolers are. </DIV>
<DIV>Do we really want the word to get out? Not Me!</DIV>
