<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Today is Janie Anne's 8th Birthday! Let's
all celebrate a wonderful day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Janie introduced me to the "Wonderful World of Bassets"
and I will be eternally grateful. She has taught me how to be patient
and how to maintain a schedule, dinner at 4, no later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I've learned how to fetch, how to always carry treats
and baggies for clean up, and how to sleep on about 1/10 of a "king" sized
bed, along with so many other tricks necessary to maintain her in the
lifestyle she has demanded.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>She is not a "diva" or "Queen", she just knows
how to keep her human on his toes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>So it's off to McDonald's for some double cheeseburgers
(of course some for Siobhan too), to the treat store and a couple of long
walks in the dog park. I consider myself "Blessed" by having 2 Bassets, I
only wish I could have more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Of course our prayers, crossed paws and tears go out to
all who have lost loved ones.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>We vote everyday for Western Missouri
Basset Rescue, for Luna and Joanne the Diva on modern Dog, for the Basset
Olympics on the Pepsi Challenge, and do the trivia on Freekibbles.com and
encourage everyone to do the same.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Also, Siobhan/Emma Sue is leading on
Snobbydogs,com. But there could always be a rush at the end, so please
vote for her on,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Oh, Janie's picture was taken earlier this year to join
the Sitterupper's Club. She will sit up anytime she thinks it will get her
a treat. No bad for an 8 year old.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I love my Bassets, especially my little Sweetheart,
Janie Anne</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Woofs,</FONT></DIV>
