<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%'>The purpose
of the Daily Drool is to help people understand the Basset Hound breed, to help
owners, and to help basset rescue organizations. As Moderators, it is our
task to maintain the Daily Drool and remain true to the purpose. When
difficult and/or controversial subjects arise, we are called upon to
“moderate” posts to assure that individuals and organizations are
not physically or emotionally hurt as a result of negative posts to the Daily
Drool. The Daily Drool must remain a safe and supportive environment for
everyone. We all wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to Karrie on
Slater’s trip to the Rainbow Bridge. We all know the pain of losing
one of our fur-babies and are sharing this pain. We encourage Droolers to
let Karrie know that they are holding her and Slater in their hearts and will
watch for his shining star tonight.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
