<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>Dearest Buddy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>You left us much too soon for a place where
beauty, hope and love are overflowing and none are ever denied. You
are a shining rainbow and a star that beams brightly in our world reminding us
our humanity and compassion in a world that is sometimes seems so gray.
Your short life instills within us that hope is not lost and the battle to save
our beloved bassets is worth more than the pain that we may endure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>One person can make a difference in a
life. You did not leave the world a number but with the name
Buddy. With that name came love that will forever live on in our
hearts. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>I feel you, Buddy, should be given the title of
Prince Buddy of the Shining Rainbows. You remind us all that where there
is love there is hope.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>You are loved by many, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Balloon size=2>Karen and The Dog House Gang </FONT></DIV>
