<DIV>Merry Christmas to all and drool to all in need. I loved participating in
the card exchange for the first time this year. I loved opening up the cards and
seeing all the wonderful pictures of bassets. I have garland hanging with
beautiful cards from people I don't know, while family cards are in a
pile. A wonderful new year to all, and a thank you to all involved in
rescue and fostering. Because of people like you I have the perfect new
family member. My new years wish would be that none of the rescue organizations
were needed, because every dog and cat would have a loving home.</DIV>
