<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>With all the sadness on the drool for the past
month I thought I would share</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>good news and the great day I had
yesterday. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Miss Anya our big red and white </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>smooshy girl, who was </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>rescued from death row </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>has a new "Furever Home"! This is not just
any home. This is a home built just </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>with low riders in mind. There are 10 fully
fenced acres with low windows and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>glass doors so a basset can watch all the
happenings of the world. Her new family</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>is the greatest! I cannot sing their
praises enough. </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique> They knew they wanted her
before </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>even meeting her. After meeting
</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>her and spending a little time together Anya
was off </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>to her new home. Mom sat in </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>the back seat with her while dad played
chauffeur. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Of course this would not have </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>happened had it not been for all the hard work that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Golden Gate Basset Rescue </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>did in making Anya, Ken and Margaret's dreams a
reality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Oh but wait the day didn't end there. Since
we were in Reno my best friend and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>transport helper Doris and I went to the Atlantis
for their wonderful buffet. I am not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>real keen on buffets but the Atlantis has a
really good one with awesome food choices.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>We stuffed ourselves so full that we had to walk
it off in the casino. Doris will always</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>"play" a little in a casino so we stopped by a
bank of slots she wanted to play. Of course </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>there was one there three in the row called what
else but Rescue. I am not a big gambler,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>especially when there are so many hungry furry
mouths to feed in my house. I looked</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the machines over and picked mine. So when it
</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>kept rejecting my $1 bills I finally said
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>"Okay, I will play the $10 bill". The first
time I one a rescue spin I had no idea I was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>suppose to hit the little button to stop the
spin. WooHoo I won $3. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Then it happened....WooHoo I won 12 extra
spins. Let it spin away. When the spins </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>hit </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>$100 I was
shocked. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Then it happened Again! </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>During the extra spins I hit another rescue spin and won
5</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>more free spins. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>The machine is spinning away on its own. I
bowed my head and said "Dear Lord I </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>could </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>really
</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>use some extra bone money to feed the
now 6 bassets, 3 kitties, Ruby Doo </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>and Cuddles." </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>(I know saying a few prayers to win in a casino is probably not the
best thing </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>to do but the </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>gang goes through a lot of food every month.)
Finally the machine stops....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I give a silent but heartfelt Thank You to the
Big Guy. </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I have $191 extra! </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>I turn to Doris and say </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>" I just won enough money to feed the gang for
</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>over a month!" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Oh but I am not finished yet! I get home to
the happy gang who are surrounding me, all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>vying for </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>their
"Yes I am home loving". In the </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>mix is Isabelle (one of GGBR's famous 61) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>who is so very fearful and had a big setback
when </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>her adoption failed. She is happily
greeting </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>me with the rest of the gang, bouncing
around with her tail up. Her tail is </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>wagging away! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>She is the happiest I have seen her since she
came back home!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Anya has the home all rescues dream of, the food
was great, </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Momma has extra in her
pocket</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>to feed the gang and Isabelle's tail was
wagging. What a Perfect Day!</FONT></DIV>
