<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I'm Brandee and Karen is my mom.
She fell today and broke all three bones that make up her ankle. However
she was so concerned about the Droolers and other Basset slaves that she wanted
me to write in for her and let everyone know that she's taking a hiatus for a
few days. She'll be having surgery later this morning and I'm the
temporary basset slave.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I'm sure that she'll be back on before
next weekend as she is very loyal to all the doggies and their people.
