dream house! It sounds like a wonderful place for humans and
hounds.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anthony, talk to the vet about the risk of getting
the teeth & possibly the tumor removed with the heart murmur. It
should be a matter of putting Cooper on antibiotics for 5-7 days before the
procedure. To protect him from possible </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>infections. From my previous vet tech experience it is better
to get the toofiers cleaned because just as in humans the plaque can build up,
damaging the gum line and bacteria can get into the blood stream and cause worse
problems for him. Like kidney issues. Safe surgery & teeth cleaning
drool for Cooper. As for intergrating Cooper into the pack I would suggest
the Dog Whisper technieque of walking them together. Walk Cooper with just Bubba
and once they mesh then walk him with just Penny. After that try walking
them as a pack. That is what has worked well for me in the past.
Good luck.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ruger woofing in: Bazzle and Nikko, A little tough
love is in order for the 2 legger, you must restrain her and throw her
squirrel loving butt in the brig to keep her from foiling your missions.
The free basset world is depending on you to take out those squirrels before
they take out your slaves. Good luck! Also we have a special team in
at ASTT HQ looking into the possibilty that some sort of itching chemical has
been deployed into our area of operations by the terrorist
squirrelistans, causing Colt and I to itch like mad dogs. I will let you
all know what our team of Environmental Scientist come up with as soon as I get
their report. Today Colt and I had to go through a HAZMAT cleaning station to
rid ourselves of the itching compounds. These will not be a good thing if we
find out that the terrorist squirrels now plan to use chemical warfare against
us. More to come...Ruger ASTT Director out.</FONT></DIV>
