<DIV>some of you may recall that i wrote how annoying i found the notes from the
houndies when i first came on the drool in October after our Gotcha Day of Oct
1. i remember thinking, "i don't have time to translate this stuff!"
and then, of course, slowly but surely, i got hooked on those notes, hoping
everytime i opened a new Drool that Brudder or Clara or Nigel and Lewis and even
Cnley would be gracing us with a note. well, now it's official.</DIV>
<DIV>tonight, when we came in from our little walk and pee break, i said to Gus,
"Weez beez cold!"</DIV>
<DIV>so i now have added a language to my life: basset speak!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>susan, loving slave to Gus (Now, she's
talkin'!")</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
