<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>HI all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I saw in a post about snoring and it sounding so
peaceful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I just wanted to share, my 2 favorite times of
day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One is when they have all settled down after
being fed, and you hear either their heavy breaths or that soft
snore. When I am here alone, I usually do not have the TV running, and
this is my best background music!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sometimes it is accompanied by the sound of someone
nesting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The other time is during feeding. Imagine
getting food ready for 16 hungry ....wolves at this point!
LOL!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have a few very vocal hounds about the speed of
my service. But when all the bowls are down, the chomping of kibble
is WONDEFUL! I can relax for a few moments as they fill those hound
bellies. And yes, the saying is true, the squeaky wheel gets the
grease! The hounds who are most vocal get fed first to prevent any
complaint from my partner who is still sleeping when we do our morning
feeding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyhow, my mind was wandering this monring
and wanted to share.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So many have gone to the bridge lately,
My heart and prayers go out to all their slaves who are grieving. I
can never seem to find the right words to say, but most of us have
lost a beloved basset, or other pet, and know just how you are hurting,
and share in that with you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Our candle is lit here everyday, in honor of our
hounds here and the many animals left in shelters, who leave for the
bridge.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Drool to all houndies needing it, the
Bounders have been working overtime lately for 2 leggers and hounds
alike.</FONT></DIV>
