happy ending.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>An elderly woman was admitted to a nursing facility
last weekend leaving her 10-11 year old basset hound homeless. The family
called their vet who wasn't on call to take the dog and most likely due to her
age and some health issues euthanize her. The on call vet decided that
they would not put her down but try and find her a place. They started her
on some meds to make her more comfortable. In the mean time the vets vet
tech went home and was telling her husband about this poor hound who they hoped
to not have to euthanize but were'nt sure if anyone would want a partially
paralyzed older houndette. Husband says "Hey, I've got this customer who
has some Basset Hound stickers on her car, maybe she would know someone".
Wife says "CALL HER!" Husband gets busy next day and
forgets. In the meantime said customer has a question about some problems
with her car and stops in the shop to ask questions. Husband answers
question and then says, "Say, my wife is a vet tech and they have this basset
hound they need to find a place for, Here's the vets name - can you
help?" Customer says "OF COURSE!!" So Off I go to the vets office to
see a very elderly and unhappy hound who wants out of her kennel. She is
down in the rear but they have her on some prednisone and pain meds and
something to calm her since she is away from her long time mom. I tell
them I have the perfect place for her and will let them know as soon as I can as
to when she can go. I contact Dawn of the West at Daphneyland and Voila...
she is going to go to her new home at Daphneyland as soon as we can get her
there. (I'd keep her here but unfortunately I have 4 hounds and a
Chihuahua in my single wide mobile)</FONT></DIV>
