They invariably want to go out at the most interesting point of any TV program.</div><div> </div><div>They also seem to
know when I am completely pooped and just don't have the energy to manage three bassets who want to pull in three different directions. Whenever it's most inconvenient, they will drag me to the door. Never fails!</div><div>Pam, food slave to the Dashing Bassets, who know just when to dash to the door</div></div></body></html>
