I too must be carried inside at times</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I have a fun time reading the
stories about the various bassets on the drool and their antics. Our Flo
strikes me to be as many of the hounds I have read about. When we were
contemplating adding Flo to our family a year ago, I did a lot of research
about the breed first. It struck me very funny to read on one basset
website that “they have a very low desire to please their humans”. Wow –
did they ever hit that nail on the head! <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Pretty much since we have had her,
she generally does what she pleases and totally ignores us if we want her to
do something – such bassitude! We have taken to saying “didn’t you get
the memo?” We envision a general memo from Flo to all that reads
something like this:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

diva. Please note that I have no desire to please you and will do as I
want, when I want. If I should once in awhile actually do as you ask,
please do not get too excited – I must have wanted to do it anyway. If
you should have to carry me to the house from the nether regions of the back
yard on occasion when it is time to go in – please do not act surprised.
Your otherwise loving and devoted companion, Flo
