10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I read the article, and wondered where on
earth they got the dollar amounts. Smoking dope maybe?? For those
of you who missed it, the article said Whippets are the most expensive dog,
next Bassets, and it said it cost about 4400 British pounds per year to keep a
Basset. A pound is worth a couple of pennies less than $1.50 – so they’re
saying each Basset hound costs you about $6,500 per year. Woof, not mine!

ratings? Is it because we treat our bassets more like children? We
certainly try to give our Pixel and Browser the best in health care and
food. However, maybe it is that they require beds all over the house,
special treats, extra tummy rubs---anyone have any idea of the basis of this
rather puzzling article? Are there more health issues with our loving
hounds?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
