Our specialty is "Boarder Patrol". WE do not like to share our yard with any other 4 legged creature or anything that flies. We do not like it when those little yelling 2 leggers come running up to our fence and just stand there and look at us. Throw a ball or a toy in our yard and expect us to give it back. Scream, yell and runaround when we are trying to take a beauty nap on the deck. WE DO NOT LIKE THESE THINGS! So, now we sleep with one ear open and when we hear the little ones outside we run to the fence and tell them to stay away. Its a tough job but someone has to do it. It keeps us on our toes. Mommy tells us to be nice, but...this
is OUR yard and "Basset Rules Apply", EVERYTHING IN IT IS OURS NO MATTER HOW IT GOT THERE! <BR> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Ellie Ann here. If Lola and Buddy are joining I guess I better too. Someone has to keep an eye on them. I will command the post. You know there is a system to it all. As soon as they get their </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">rawhide's nice and soft, start barking and they will run to the fence to keep all away then I run as fast as I can and that's not too fast these days and snatch all the rawhide's. Place them in a circle around me and if anyone comes within 10 feet of them I warm them to keep back, if they proceed to take one I give them a louder warning. After that Mom tell me to be nice and if I don't she takes them all away. Then I lay in front of the hallway and wont let the others past me. They have to stay in the living room and not go by Mommy in the office and lay on the couch. If I can't have what I want they won't get what they want. Also did mention we live by Lake Michigan and have our own lifejackets.</FONT></DIV>
