<DIV>It sounds like Stella is playing games with you! haha.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sometimes I think our bassets do things on purpose to get our attention so we can engage in their game of chase or whatever silly antics their little brains conjure up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The biggest thing my bassets have taught me is to have a sense of humor and not take things so seriously, especially my Schroeder. He is such a clown somtimes and I totally love him for that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have fun with Stella and keep writing!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Love and drool to all the sick houndies out there right now...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Annette, Schroeder, Sophie, Maya and Cassie</DIV>
