<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think it is having to have enough faith that the
puppies will have people to take over my job.See,no one can do that job better
than I do.I protect them ,they know this because when they are ganged up on from
brothers and sisters they come to me.When they come to me I won't let anyone
gang up on them or grab them ,they are safe with me. I need to believe the
next home they go to the people there will take over for me.I teach them things
they need to know,like,not to bite so hard and the word,"No".I kiss them all the
time and hug them so they feel secure and loved and tell them I love them.My
greatest hope is that their new parent(s) will love them as I do and never allow
harm to come to them.I would never forgive myself if the home I chose for them
would in any way mistreat them , I would do my best to get them back,if I ever
knew about such a thing. These puppies are an extension of me,where they go I
go.Some will be shown, I 'm very happy about that, but just as happy to know
some are here to fill a void in someone's life and heart.I have been contacted
by a nice guy in Texas who lost his 13 year old basset this past winter.He has
people who love him enough to help get this hound to him.I don't know many
people with friends like that.I sleep well at night knowing people like
Rachelleann , this guy Jeff,and the others that have my puppies are taking over
my job and doing it well because they love this breed. I'm
blessed.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
