<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It seems like you American bassets have to be ever
vigilant against squirrel terrorists. Well, take some good advice from us who
are used to this sort of thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Recently a band of goat terrorists invaded our
property. By the mean looks in their yellow eyes we could see they were not here
on a social visit. Our adopted humans tried in their ineffective ways to shoo
them away, but the goats just gave them the stare and continued with their
destruction and land invasion. Fortunately we bassets were on stand by on the
deck in our baskets in the sun in a state of maximum energy
preservation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, there we were, 2 bassets against 20
goats.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In a flash we made a reconnaissance run around the
goats, like two SR 71 Black Bassets, with ears streaming, tails horizontal,
tongues lolling and drool flying. Before the enemy could recover, we came around
for our second run, only this time with our baying alarms on at full volume. In
seconds the enemy had scattered. Never to be seen again. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, in the war against them squirrel terrorists,
the main thing is to face the enemy, rout them and take no prisoners. Like they
said, never give up, never surrender !</FONT></DIV>
