<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I just can't pick a favorite part. Who can
resist those soulful yet expressive eyes, velvety ears, sweet snooters, bumps of
knowledge, big wonderful feet, short powerful legs, long bodies that can stretch
like a slinky, white tipped tail that lets you know when they are happy, sad
scared or in pain, and those powerful, wiggling butts, the many glorious
wrinkles, upturned waiting tummies, big ole basset lips and that nose that can
smell the BBQ many houses away and then there is...... Who can resist that
ditinguished and beautiful graying face of those precious senior
hounds?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Then there is the ability of those beautiful
droolers to express their very thoughts to their slaves. The
wonderful, analytical thought process that gives the ability to get to the
things they want and rid there mouths of yucky items...like pills no matter how
well they are disguised. Who can not love the way that they truly love and
enjoy food! That alone gives me pause to reflect and makes me a bit
jealous. What many call stubborness I call determination, a trait I truly
admire and share as a Taurus. Then there is that ability to take a
nap anywhere, any time, at moments notice (I am very jealous about this).
How about the times that they know when you have a bad day and they snuggle up
against you washing away tears without having to be asked. The
entertainment these droolers provide with wrestling, Basset 500's, back swishing
on the floor with those wonderful lipperflaps open to expose those beautiful
teeth gives us reasons to laugh and smile many times on a daily
basis. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When all is said and done I love every part of my
basset babies. I am truly blessed that I have the opportunity and
pleasure to be their human and slave. The joy, happiness, love and
calm they bring into my life truly makes the world a better place. Just
look at how strangers have come together with the Daily Drool to share
their joy, sadness, stories, pics, videos, etc of their basset babies. We
are no longer strangers even though we have never met but a family and
a community brought together by a shared love of our adored basset
kidz.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Droolz to all that are in need. May the
saddest we are experiencing with the health issues and departures to the
rainbow bridge end very soon. </FONT></DIV>
