<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At four O'clock comes the basset. to insist
that you start cooking your supper, so she can be sure she will have her supper
at 5 PM sharp. Yes, it is much easier to do as the basset ( W Maggie Mae )
asks then go threw the staring and moaning and groaning and iron paw on my
leg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also at 10 PM she insists that I go to my
room, so can go there and find her spot for the night.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In order to get WMM to go out, I must offer
her a treat and often have to attach a leash so she can be guided out.
Then a treat of some kind must be thrown out the door and if it is to her
liking, she will go potty, then you must praise her.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Oh! there are so many other things she demands....I
AM A SLAVE TO MY BASSET..and I would not change it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>W Maggie Mae, when she first came here smelled
smoke and grabbed my wrist and would not let go, until she was sure all was
well. I think WMM and I connected the minute we saw each other. I can
remember how sick WMM was when she first came here, there were times
I was sure she would not live. I yelled at vets, found new ones. cried and
panicked until I found, the vet who cured WMM antibiotic resistant ear
infection. I never thought any four legged creature could mean as much as
Waddles ATB and Wrinkles ATB did to me. But I have had four heart
dogs, each so special in their own way. I guess I just enjoy my bassets
& Willie so much. </FONT></DIV>
