<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sending lots of drool to Maggie Wags and Maggie Mae and Nigel for continued improvement and to Freds family along with soft snooter kisses due to his sudden trip to the bridge.</DIV>

<DIV>Cyrus and I have been kicking back enjoying our sunny California weather. Hasn't rained in months. That's good right? And it's in the 60s. We'll take it. momPerson put the rugs back out and uncovered the patio stuff a couple months ago. Endless summer. Life is good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I personally love beer, wine and coffee. As well as chocolate. All basset staples. You wouldn't BELIEVE the lengths momPerson goes to in order to TRY to prevent my enjoying any of the above. She's ridiculous.</DIV>

<DIV>I got my drool calendar yesterday. Good because my calendar day is coming on Thursday (the 12th is my 1st gotcha day). I love the calendar. Poor Laura had to call him a gazillion times and it came priority mail and was only sent Friday (the 6th). Who is this creaton Micheal and doesn't he understand that when people purchase a CALENDAR months in advance they might like to refer to it starting on the 1st? Poor Laura!</DIV>

<DIV>I might have to talk to Colt. We have a varmit which has taken up residence in the woodpile and Cyrus and I have almost gotten him (her?) a couple of times. We're hot on the trail, it's hard though, the varmit can move around through the woodpile and we can't. Also, the other day we were tugging the stuffed gofer and Cyrus had the head and I had the body and we were tugging away and ... um .... we beheaded the gofer. It was the funniest thing too when it happened we both just stopped, and took our half, and removed the stuffing from it and flung it around like a snowstorm. momPerson said it was dangerous, she says EVERYTHING is dangerous, silly momPerson. Colt if we join the astt can Cyrus be in the secret service as a body guard? </DIV>

<DIV>She's trying to decide what I get to eat on my gotcha day. Last time I had a celebratory meal I got half a can of canned food with my kibble and later that night she thinks I started to bloat (but it could have been just gas) and now she doesn't want to do that again. Any ideas?</DIV>
