<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>The Mom and me are getting our data ready for input
into our OEBE spreadsheet. As you know, many Droolers have joined the
Order of the Evil Basset Hound Empire in the last month. Did anyone notice
how many Babes there were? ONE!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Dear Roland and the Mom – I have
been corresponding with the BABES Organization about enrolling my three girls,
and I think they definitely want to join. However, once I got to thinking
about each one and her endearing personality and traits, I found my thoughts
straying down a slightly different path. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In fact, I’m starting to believe
that my sweet little dears have done a masterful job of training me to jump to
follow their every command. Especially Miss Gracie, who is a very loud
and very demanding dog who stomps up and down the hallway while bellowing like
a very large bull until she gets her way. And Miss Holly, who is tiny and
therefore doesn’t exactly sound like a Basset. Many people have
remarked that Holly sounds like a squeaky toy that needs oiling (she does), and
she makes a non-stop rusty honking noise that’s almost a squeal while
staring you right in the eye when she wants something. Miss Anna is new
and is still learning how to shriek at Mama, but she is learning very, very quickly.
While none of the three is OEBE material, I’m beginning to think that
they have split personalities, kind of like Sybil – as long as I behave
and do what I’m told, they are BABES. If I don’t follow
commands quickly, Gracie turns into PW Gracie, and Holly and Anna into PIT
Holly and PIT Anna. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So Roland and Mom, here is my
question. Is there any organization for extremely well trained food-and-body-slaves
like me? Slaves that get a little twitch in their eye every time certain
dogs start to yell at them? In other words, for us downtrodden, nervous,
twitchy slaves? Perhaps something like Browbeaten Basset Slaves
Anonymous? Any information you can give would certainly be
appreciated. Must go now, Gracie wants her belly rubbed and I must obey.
It’s kind of like being taken over by the Borg – resistance is
futile.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
