<DIV>Yep been here since before that time.</DIV>
<DIV>I remember finding the Drool - Cocshall was but a pup - she was born in
1993 and it wasn't long after that when the Princess dictated drool
postings. Back in those days there was this "other Dawn" and so we became
Dawn of the East, Dawn of the North and Dawn of the West. I still answer
phone calls of people asking for Dawn of the West - lol. I just kind of
consider it my name.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cocshall ruled my life, and although ATB - she still has that velvet paw in
all that I do.</DIV>
<DIV>Barnaby came along a few years thereafter - he joined the bridge team this
year and I still can't talk about it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thousands have traveled upon my heart and hearth - each wonderful, each
loved and adored. Some have stayed, most have been adopted and the march
across this dog-eared well worn basset slave continues daily.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Today my furkids are the princess Mariah and Logan the wanna be and
protector of Daphneyland.</DIV>
<DIV>Bassbar Boodles (Bodie) lords it over me (mostly at bedtime) when I am
lucky enough to be honored with his part time presence. There are of
course every day about 100 hounds I consider my kids. And thousands out
there who still wear a fur coat I have stroked, hugged and kissed upon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I barely have time to post anymore and have become something of a lurker -
not by choice but by the sheer craziness that is "Living the Dream". I
read as much as I can, private post also as much as I can, but have to rely on
others to fill me in often.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Although I may no longer be a daily poster, I am a Drooler at heart - for a
long time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dawn of the West - feeling 99 today.</DIV>
