color:red'>Droolers; Diane Burns is the foster coordinator for
Droopy Basset Hound Rescue. She has probably 5 bassets of her own and
several fosters. Last night she had to have her 14 yr old lab helped to the
bridge. I know she would love to hear from fellow basset lovers
especially those of us who know how much it hurts to lose a dog. If you would
like to send her an email her address is <a href="mailto:DeeBurns$@yahoo.com">DeeBurns$@yahoo.com</a>.
Thanks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Mark and I had to help Amos to the bridge last night,
after 14 years of love and loyalty. I don't know who will be my protector now
because these hounds have no clue how to be guardian's. There is a big hole
in both our hearts as Amos was a gentle, well behaved,and most intuitive of
dogs. That's a lab for you. He always knew when my ears were starting to
bother me and would stick his nose in them and stiff, then look on in the
eye. I FINALLY learned to go clean them out when he did this. When I had
surgery a few years back he knew 10 minutes before my pain meds were going to
wear off! He would seek me out and just sit my me! He was a truly amazing dog
and I will miss him greatly. I take comfort in knowing we did the best we
could for him and he is now running( his favorite past time) free of pain and
will spend eternity with his big sister Molly who went before him. Have fun
big guy, we miss you.D<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
