<DIV>I have to agree, Debbie. I read all these posts and chuckle because we've been there, done that.... Katy & Rocco are bassets number four and five. The other three have all left for the bridge and are missed every day. I have to say though that my first experience with a basset was a real winner. We adopted our Missy ATB from the SPCA. She was a skin and bones stray with a lot of love to give. She NEVER forgot that she was a starving girl at one time. When we first got home with her, I was thinking what a short little girl she was. Anyway, I learned very quickly NEVER to turn your back on one of them while in the kitchen. I was making sandwiches for the family and she cleaned all four sandwiches off the counter in one fell swoop! She taught me a lot about dogs. I used to have Great Danes and I thought I knew about keeping the counters clear, but I was wrong. </DIV>
