I had the BEST adventure time with GGBR folks!! Gwen Dossey has arranged
meet-up groups for bassets in this area-- and yesterday, we first were in a <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Burlingame</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">CA</st1:State></st1:place>
parade!! I had never waddled before--and Gwen let me have her "Madden"
for a temporary "partner!" Then, we went to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Fort</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Funston</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
for a walk on the beach. Everybody had a foraging good time.
Especially, her</span></font><font color=purple><span style='color:purple'>
</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black'>precious little
"Sasha"</span></font><font color=purple><span style='color:purple'>.</span></font><font

alot like "Madden," her partner-in-foraging for crab legs, when the
"brown truck" eventually</span></font><font color=purple><span

come :</span></font><font color=purple><span style='color:purple'>-</span></font><font
