<div>Oh how I love those soft velvet ears. For me, they dried so
many tears, when I was going thru a divorce. I know they can
be dirty, wet and crusty, but they would be soft and so comforting when
it came to drying tears. My boy Deuce is also an ear
sucker...when he was just a little bitty boy, he would trot off
and swing his head to the side and catch an ear in his
mouth. It would make me laugh out loud and I am mad I never
got a picture of this. To this day after an especially good meal
by his faithful slave he will hop up on the couch and grab an ear
and chew off the leftovers. My boy Rowdy doesn't
have the really long ears that a typical basset has, so he
can't get them in his mouth. But they too were comforting and
gave me great peace to have them in my hand. </div>

<div>I never had children, but to this day...the more people I meet
the more I love my dogs. My Ex and current husband know never to
ask me to choose......and who I love best. I get
tearied eyed just thinking about how little time I have with my
boys. I wish God would give them to us for longer, but I know he needs
them too, so I will love them for as long as I am here on this earth.</div>
