<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This past year has had it's bad parts and good
parts for everyone , I'm sure, here are some I know of; the bad part, Jeff
Dabney,lost his 13 year old Basset in the beginning of 2011, the good part, he
became the new owner of a 13 week old basset puppy ,"Sebastian," the 2nd week in
August. In May, the bad part, Rachellean lost her Parkerwade, the good
part, in May a litter was born and one male puppy would become "Loganwade ".
In the beginning of July, the bad part, a very nice woman lost
her B-dog, and though she wasn't sure at first if she wanted to do a puppy
again, the good part, she did ,so "Morgan",a black and tan puppy ,went to live
with her at the end of July. In July, the bad part, a
beloved basset girl went to the bridge after everything possible had been
done for her health, and Jen Gibe ,even though she still had Lucy (basset)
and Ricky (mix), grieved for her "Flash", painfully,she was her heart dog. the
good part, she thought she knew I had a girl not placed yet and called
me,"Mable", who was "Flo", and then became "Mabel" when, "NO
FLO" wasn't working, knew , because she was a very smart puppy, that
as soon as she saw Jen, she was hers. As for me, the bad part, losing one
of the puppy girls in October, she will never be forgotten, the good part, I
raised a beautiful litter of puppies this year, I had the best time of my life
doing it, I dedicated everything I had TO DOING IT.The new owners have made it
all worthwhile. The time spent, the money spent, the emotion spent didn't mean
much if I could not find these puppies homes who would love them the rest of
their lives, but I didn't find them ,THEY found me. I thank God for them all.
