I stumbled upon the DD as a new basset owner and I must say that I learned SO MUCH from reading the posts. I really appreciated everyone sharing information and it truly helped me to be a better and more informed basset owner. Pumpkin for example – it was worth a try and wouldn’t hurt them if it didn’t work. It has made all the difference in our case.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do have to say that as an early reader who hadn’t discovered all the parts of the website, archives, etc. I asked one day what a set of initials stood for that I kept seeing used over and over. I was unceremoniously told by someone to “look it up”. That was not exactly being flamed, but did make me gun shy of asking anything, so I see where some of you are coming from. Anyway, I appreciate you all and your insights have been very helpful to me.</p>
