<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>We just wanted to give an update on Buster.. He
arrived at his new forever home on Monday..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Was greeted with open paws, Coomo the yard dog
even gave up his house in the large back yard to Buster..He was so funny, Buster
inspected all of the houses offered for his comfort and he decided that Coomos
house was the one suited to an old gentlemans needs..No worries, Coomo was
rewarded for his kindness with a new larger house for him..<BR> On the
monday they left My house, I gave Auntie Fran a big bottle of special treats for
Buster.. they are the ones that help with joint pain.. Buster gobbled the treat
right down.. and has each day. Today Fran reports that Buster is in the
Daily Basset 500! He runs with the crew, barking and stoping to throw back his
old head and howl then tail wagging joins back in the race</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> Fran says it is just so wonderful to see
him so active and happy.. She says he has barked at everything and everyone that
comes within his sight .. He has met the neighbors with loud barks and howls and
wagging tail.. She says this morning she heard Busters voice and the neighbor
calling across the yard "HEY BIG MAN< GOOD MORNING HOWLS TO YOU!"
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> She ask me "When is he going to be
homesick and cry and wine?" and I say, "Who knows? "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Maybe never? he is so happy to be with the girls
and the yard dog that he has not had time to think of his old broken down house
and no one, two or four legged to talk to...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> Auntie Fran also states that Zero and
Freckles are loving and always lets Buster win the race.. He is showered with
kisses and just stands there with his eyes closed and lets the girls love on
him..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> We thinks he is way over ten years..not
sure.. He weighs in at about 85 pounds, but Fran says with all the running and
playing hopefully she can get his weight down..Someone once loved him.. we
knowfrom his manners and he was already nutered...You can get down in his face
and talk to him with a high voice and he will talk back...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> Buster has come home.. and there he will
spend his last days ever how long they may be with a large yard, grass and
big trees for shade, a small pool of water for the hot days to play in, younger
but friendly basset hounds and two other wantabees to keep him
company..His treats and his kibble..all his..and being loved every day..Uncle
Charlie goes out everyday and takes the pull toys and large rope toys and
everyone gets a round of ruff housing..Last account today was Hounds 2 Uncle
Charlie 0.. he was on his back in the middle of the yard with the bassets on
top..and Buster laying beside him in the grass...and I am thinking ..look out
for red bugs!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> Drool to all in need.. Prayers for the
slaves..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> TO all who have lost their hounds, I will
light a candle tonight to burn brightly for the hounds to see thier way to the
bridge.. My sister and others are there waiting cooking a huge welcome for them
and the hounds and others there are waiting with open paws...</FONT></DIV>
