<DIV>Latest news on the Carolina Basset Hound Rescue in the Shelter
Challenge--we remain steadily in 4th place--we'll need a gargantuan voting
effort from you good Droolers to get into third place--the time is so
short--only 10 more days.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have 5% of all of the SC votes, the group in 3rd place, Noah's
Ark, has 16% of the SC vote. We need to overtake them somehow to get
the much needed $1,000. We had a great fun Waddle, lots of our
Bassets in the Charleston Christmas parade, probably 150, beautiful
weather. However, people didn't spend as much money as prior years at
our auctions. Effect of the poor economy on us all.--just the basics.
We need your votes.' NUF said and thanks for all of your votes to get us so
