It is time for me to congratulate two of my for real, blood, houndie family.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSiN ROSIE!!! My cousin Pw. Rosie is 16 tomorrow and getting real close (days) to becoming the longest living Jamboree Basset ever. Rosie lives out in the sticks sort of near Pittsburgh, not for nothing they call her town Rural Valley. She moved there a few years ago from Long Island. She can’t see, can’t hear much, is a widdle confused since she got unwound a few years back. She loves her cookies, her pets and is all white and soft and pawfect. She had siblings but outlived EVERYBODY!! She is the inspiration for Rosie’s Red Moondoggie coffee and used it to make a whole lotta moolah for Droopy Basset last year. (Pwitty hounds can help their homeless friends.) She doesn’t chew so good, but likes her naps and treats and makes her slaves fetch her whatever she wants to eat. Love Rosie. Gotta love Rosie.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>CONGRATULATIONS to my real half brother Newtie (on our father, Ben the Cad’s side.) Two weeks ago Rusty and I went to watch Newtie and the kids in a dawG show. He won. That was nice. We got burgers….but the breederslaves didn’t know how to count the points and find that he done so good he’s now somefin called a GrandChdawg. I thought that would be if a grandpuppy became a chdawG, but I gather it means he got lotsa points or whatever so he gets a new title. Kewl. It seems to make the Hankslave very happy. I hope this gets him a lot of tweats………hope they get him a steak!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pawtunia…happy to woof about good news.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
